Idk if it’s common practice to do them at all unless there is a reason to in the UK. I only had a attempted sweep at my 40 week consultant appointment as my BP was increasing

For my trust they said midwife will offer a sweep at 40 weeks but not sure if that’s the case everywhere

They checked me just because I was having watery discharge. But my cervix is still closed.. I’m 37+4

I’m having a sweep at 39+3 so I guess just depends on the midwife

I didn’t get my cervix checked until I got in the triage after my mucus plug’s gone. I was 40w+

Was told at 20 week scan that the baby was too small, we are now having growth scans and have been told my placenta isn't working properly and the baby is on the 3th percentile anyone had this experience?.

Red line on nose

My baby woke up from his first nap of the day with this red vertical line on his nose (and a little bit below it). He is 11 months old.

Any idea what this is? Should I be concerned?

He slept in his cot, which is empty, and I am not aware of him hitting his nose in his sleep.

TIA Xx

Growth scan - concerned 36weeks

My baby has gone from 4lb 2oz to 6lb 15oz, I have been told I have to see a consultant within the next week about this. The babies tummy is measuring big at 94%.

Has anyone else had this? I’m slightly worried due to how big the babies tummy is compared to the rest of the baby.

Early Stages of Labour 😬

I’ve been having contractions on and off since yesterday evening! Feel like im in a limbo phase of seeing how long this could go on for!

Just wondering how long people were contracting before their waters broke or contractions got really painful and close together?
