Contractions

Hi! I’m 37w5d. I started having terrible pressure in my perineum, pelvic pain, and back pain. I'm also having painful contractions—but my water hasn't broken. I'm using an app to monitor my contractions, and it says "Get ready." I have 5-10 minutes to get to the hospital, first time mom.
Is it time to call the hospital or stay home?🙈 I’m very stressed and don’t know what to do.

Call the hospital so they can prep to get ready for you! That’s what i did when i was having those symptoms. But try to labor at home cause you may dialate faster in comfortable environments. But call hospital first!

My waters didn’t break until about an hour before my boy was born 🫣 definitely call the hospital to at least speak to the midwives so they can get a feel of what part of labour you’re in!

Rolling?

I know this has been asked before but I wanted to canvas you all for an update on our babies and rolling now we’re 6 months in. My boy can roll front to back but has no interest in rolling back to front… don’t know if I should be concerned.

Baby Boy is 2 months!

Oml! It’s already been 2 months since this angel was brought into my life! I love seeing his beautiful smile 🥰 He’s getting so big so fast. He’s finally gaining weight and not having too much reflux! I felt so bad when he had to get his shots yesterday! 🥺 Happy 2 months to my little hungry caterpillar! Mommy loves you so much 💙🥳🎉🥹

Unsuccessful sweep now mucus plug?

Hey I’m 39+2 today and yesterday I went to my midwife to have a sweep preformed to try start me before I go over 40+ weeks (due to stillbirtjh in family after that time) she explained that my cervix was open at the front but closed at the back so she “agitated” it a bit to try get things moving. I have a few cramps since then and have been on my feet walking a lot like she suggested. This morning I woke up and I had my plug (my show) come away so does that mean my cervix could finally be open and labour is near? Thanks in advance ☺️

Kids birthday parties

Do you think a 3pm–5pm party is too late for a 6th birthday on a non-school night?

Freaking out!!!

My baby’s head is messuring on the 97th centile and I have just read that it could be Macrocephaly 😰 or linked to later autism… And I wonder if I am even able to give birth to such size of head. I don’t know why my midwife has not Said anything about it.
