Sweep today 🤞🏼

I got a sweep today and I am 2cm dilated, if it worked how quickly did everyone go into labour after?

I've just had my third sweep, been 2cm every time and still no baby 🤣 my midwife said within 24-48 hours if it is successful so fingers crossed for you!

Oooh all the best! I’ve got my first sweep on Sunday ☺️

With my son I gave birth 12 hours later, I knew straight away my sweep worked as I was very crampy and felt my son drop instantly

With my first I had a sweep at 37+6 and my waters broke 2 hours later and he was born the next day. I’ve also just had a sweep! In the same boat, 2cm dilated and soft and shortening cervix, having some bleeding and cramping in my lower abdomen and in my back so hoping things move soon🤞🏼xx

I’ve got my sweep tomorrow morning. I’m very nervous. Even though this is baby number 4 the other 3 have been spontaneous deliveries. But with this one being an older mum they want to get things started. Booked at being induced next Friday.

For me it took a while. I had a sweep on the 27/4 and then the pessary pill on 29/4 and they had to break my waters on the 1st and he was finally born on the 2nd of May. 😅 My baby boy was nice and comfy inside didn’t want to come out!

Subchrorionic haematoma

Had out first scan today at the hospital, saw the little heartbeat and measuring 6+4🥰
We also found out I have a subchrorionic haematoma, just wondering if anyone’s else has had or has one and if so was/is everything okay? We’ve waited so long and tried so hard for this baby and just worried. Booked in for another scan in a couple weeks but just curious
I work in a kitchen so my jobs very hands on which I know won’t help🙃

20 week scan call back

Had my 20 week scan last week and was told I have a low lying placenta with lots of scar tissue from previous c section. Was told I’d need to go back at 32 weeks for scan. Just received call from hospital saying consultant has reviewed scanphotos and needs to see me next week regarding placenta. Now I am STRESSED! Any ideas why they would call me back so soon and what it could be about ??!?

Decreased baby movements

I am 26 weeks pregnant and I haven't felt my baby move since and 13.30 . My partner says everything is fine and I am over reacting. What does everyone think

C section?

I am currently 31 weeks pregnant with my fourth baby and I’m not sure whether I’ll be having a c section. My last baby was born via planned section due to having low lying placenta which didn’t move but the other 2 were vaginal births although with my first I had forceps and second I had vacuum. So I have always had intervention due to the placentas. With this one I have low pap A so again that is to do with the placenta. What are the chances of me having a c section again and when will I find out?

Waters being broken

I am 39+6 I have come into hospital as I have had some bleeding. I am also having contractions but I am only 1cm. I have been told I won’t be leaving the hospital without my baby and the plan is they are going to break my waters and put me on the hormone drip. Has anyone had this before or had waters broken and put on the drip?

Private room at Frimley park hospital/ park side

Hi! Has anyone stayed in a private room in park side or on the postnatal ward at FPH and know whether this is possible after a c-section? I found it really hard to relax or sleep for the 3 days I was there after having my son a few years ago because it was so noisy and busy, and would love a different experience this time 🤞🏻
