Ultrasound at 40 weeks

I have been booked a growth scan at 40+1 weeks. I’m 39+3 today so obviously if I go into labour before then it’s cancelled. Just wondering if anyone else has had a scan to see if they need to get induced or anything.

How is my baby one😭

How is my little boy Kai Cruz 1 today 😭😭 Happy birthday to all the gorgeous babies born this month💙

Can anyone help explain this please?

Just been for my first ever sweep- I'm trying to understand the notes to see if I can work out if im dilated or not (she's 5/5 engaged and the second the midwife popped her fingers in she said she could feel baby)
Any help would be appreciated 🥰❤️

Age gaps and second baby advice 😅

Hello guys . I’m currently 11 months pp and I want some advice . Are you one and done and glad you made that decision ? Did you go for a second child and regret the decision (NOT THE CHILD) , did you decide to go for another and it was a smoother transition than expected ? I found my first baby extremely difficult especially the first 3 months we had tongue tie, colic , reflux , waking every 30 mins . She still wakes at night . I had bad anxiety especially with SIDS and also ppd which I never medicated for and now regret . I look back on the time and it’s just a blur until maybe 5 months onwards . I enjoy her so much more now that she’s older and I love being a mother . My husband constantly bring up more babies in the future but I genuinely don’t know if I could do it again . I also love maintaining myself and having some time for me when she naps but when I have two will I lose this time ? Can people share their experiences . Was a second child worth it ? What age gap was best ? I am deffo open to a larger age gap but not more than 5 years . But if it would make things easier then I could do it . I know 2 would be my absolute max children but I constantly go back and forth between one and done or two . The main reason is for her to grow up with a sibling especially as an adult I think it would be beneficial . At the end of the day it’s personal decision but advice and experiences would help a lot 💗💗💗

Contractions/ early labour advice

First time mum looking for advice!
I’m having contractions in my lower back and pelvic area, averaging around me 5-7 minutes apart and around 30 seconds long. I’ve had a sweep yesterday and lost my mucus plug.

Am I in early labour? 😅

Worried about conceiving after c section

I ended up with an emergency c section. Since reading around the topic looks like c section can be linked to secondary infertility, and now worried that it will be difficult to conceive number 2. Any one had this concern / any reassuring stories
? Thanks :)

Sound normal?

I’m 18days post section, I’m still getting discomfort / pulling in one side of my c-section. The GP thinks there’s a haematoma there but isn’t 100% or particularly concerned.

Also I went for a walk round the block earlier and I really struggled, I had to go really slow and although it wasn’t painful it just felt like hard work. I was kind of expecting to do more by now. I’m not far off 3 weeks… getting around the house / in and out of bed is fine just going out and walking I’m finding hard. Does that sound normal at this stage?

I feel like people have been constantly asking me since she was born. “So have you been to take baby out for a walk yet” and also I feel like a crap mum to my 4yo like I can’t take him to the park or whatever x
