August baby - anyone having signs of labour approaching? 🤞

I’m 37+3 and will be induced at 39 weeks. Baby is wriggling and pushing against my cervix regularly. I’ve had some mild cramping last night and changes to digestion but that’s about it - I’m definitely in my “freeze mode” waiting for anything to happen 🙈🙈

Keep forgetting I’m pregnant

I am 15+3 and I keep forgetting I’m pregnant and don’t feel pregnant as I don’t have any symptoms that are typical. Is this normal? I’ve got a bump now but it still doesn’t feel real to me yet.

Elected c- section

Hey ladies I've opted for an elected c-section as i had one before but it was an emergency and have been told if i push and struggle im just going to end in a section anyway so i may aswell just elect for it, however, because i i was so tired i passed out and just woke up to my partner and our son,
What advice can you give me this time as I'm hoping its going to be so different.

Nesting

Anyone else's nesting out of control 😂😂

I've just spent 2.5 hours scrubbing/reorganising our bedroom and ensuite. Anyone would think I'm giving birth to Kim or Aggy the way my brain thinks this baby is going to judge me 😂😂

5 weeks since c section and belly problems

My belly gets so bloated/swollen as soon as I go to get dressed or go out for a short amount of time. I get so much discomfort and pain in it, all on the lower right side. I’m fed up of being so bloated and the over hang is disgusting

Emotional

Anybody else just feeling emotionally exhausted? I am an anxious mess, daily, and I overthink everything that I do and I just don’t know how much longer I can take the anxiety for! 😭

Mama’s with kiddos already

Hi there mama’s!
For those with other littles already here, what were your delivery times? I’m curious of trends on if some mama’s experienced earlier labor with their seconds versus their first.

I have a little guy that’ll be two in October, and he was born 40 weeks 5 days and only because I got induced. Likely would have baked longer if it were up to him! I’m now curious to see if baby girl will be the same or arrive sooner.
