Sweep

Had a membrane sweep this morning, cervix is soft and midwife said I’m about 1cm dilated and could feel babies head. Is there anything I can now do after the sweep to try get things moving?

Walking or bouncing on a birthing ball

How you got the baby in will help get the baby out!

I had a sweep 2 weeks ago and was 2cm dilated, she could also feel baby's head and had a bishop score of 8. Had another sweep since then as well. Still pregnant 😂 I've been eating dates, drinking raspberry leaf tea, eating pineapple, having sex, bouncing on the ball, using clary sage oil, absolutely nothing is getting this baby out 😭😂 and now I'm booked to be induced on Saturday 🥹

I read a headline about a woman being arrested for starting a child fight club and that got me thinking...

Do you think your kid could win in child fight club? Mine could. I think that the fight club would just be him versus all the other kids.

I just want a beautiful bump

I'm just so jealous of everyone and their beautiful bumps.
This is baby number 4 and I just look fat and horrible!!! I've never had a "bump" just got bigger..... if you didn't know I was 5 months pregnant you wouldn't guess. I'm so fed up of feeling this way

Cramping

Hi! Im 8 weeks and 4 days pregnant, and keep feeling some low dull cramps, almost like pre period cramps? I still have really bad nausea and stuff but panicking the cramps are a bad sign. Had a scan at 7+6 and baby was measuring perfect with a heartbeat too, but still worried :( any one and the same boat? Xx

Jeans post c section?

Hi y’all ! When do you start wearing jeans after a c section? I’m 3 weeks pp and really struggling to feel like myself in sweats and leggings 🥲 I bought some high waisted jeans in a size up, they fit fairly comfortably and I can move around in them. Just wondering when others started wearing tighter clothes? It doesn’t rest on my incision at all - above my belly button!
