41w pregnant

Anyone else due in May still pregnant? 🙂‍↕️ Trying to remain patient but it’s starting to get depressing. This is my second baby. I gave birth to my first at 40w6d. So we are officially further along with this one.

Im 39 weeks and 3 days and have zero sign of babygirl coming any time soon. Im pretty sure im not dilated and have just been getting Braxton hicks on and off. I just wanna meet my baby☹️😭I have a drs appointment tomorrow so I hope we can get her here soon.

Help? :’)

I’ve been asked to head to labor and delivery asap………..23w1d
I know baby and I will be monitored and kept together as long as possible but once it’s time for babies arrival (placenta issues-delivery will be in the next couple days) what in the world am I to expect???
Looking for info on delivery and life (🤞🏻) after delivery

Did your 2nd baby come sooner than 1st?

37 weeks with 2nd baby and everyone has been saying the 2nd comes earlier & faster so I’ve been a little nervous thinking he can come any day now, every Braxton hick I think is going to turn into labor but no other signs yet! My first came at 38wks & was 11 hour labor. How was your 2nd baby compared to first?

Coworkers

I literally KNEW this was going to happen which is why I waited so long to tell my coworkers. Overheard someone saying “the second the baby comes out it’s hell. Whatever you do to prepare it’s not enough” all the unhelpful comments are annoying me so bad. We still have the rest of our third trimester to be working and being all big. The comments paired with me being more sensitive than usual is a bad combo. Any advice 😭

How effaced and dilated were you at 38/39 weeks? What week did your first baby come?

Specifically for your first child? I was told today I am 80% effaced and half a cm dilated. Wondering how normal those numbers are? And how soon labor could be?

2nd planned section advice.

My first baby I had a planned section and it was very positive. I have another planned section for this baby. And my anxiety is horrendous, and has been, I have such a fear it will be the complete opposite experience. I’m worried my baby comes too early. And I’m just worried my waters break.

I have been told as I’ve never actively went into labour there’s a high chance it won’t happen and I won’t go early. I’ve also been told I would be treated as an emergency section if I do go early. But I have the fear it’s too late and have to give birth naturally which is my biggest fear.

My mind is playing games with me.

Has anyone had a section before and did go early? And could share with me their experiences?
