Meeee I literally have just dealt with this over the last week, do you want to dm? Or can chat here? X

There’s another similar post like this below as well, have a look x

Me too - Fundal height was measuring baby as 50th centile until 35 weeks and then it suddenly dropped below the 10th. I went for a scan and baby is measuring 50th centile still. Midwife said it could be because baby has dropped etc x

Is this a bloody show or am I bleeding?

Maybe tmi but I was having what I thought was Braxton hicks last 2 days but more intense last night then went to toilet had bit of blood. More this morning. I'm due up in hospital for a scan today anyway as baby was transverse at last scan. Don't really remember bloody show last time. This is baby num 4. Husband in England for work and not due home to late tomorrow night so worried he will miss birth. Pains have stopped now apart from bit of period cramps

What should I do?

I was really hoping for a natural birth but went for a scan at 37 weeks and he’s estimated to be 8.5lbs currently. They said if I carry on to 40 weeks, he’ll be over 11lbs. They’ve talking about induction and c- section but I didn’t want either but I also know if I decline, he’s probably going to be too big to push out naturally anyway. I’m at a loss here 😩
