I’m tired of this grandpa…

Currently 39 weeks 2 days. Baby does not seem to be ready to come out. Have not experienced any Braxton hicks or any contractions whatsoever… I spoke with my doctor and he said I could elect an induction this week.. or if she isn’t after 40weeks 3days they will conduct the induction no if and or buts.. I want her out but I feel selfish..

I chose to have a c section at 39 weeks and 4 days. It's all up to you

With my first, i was induced at exactly 40 weeks on her due date. I also dealt with guilt and feeling selfish, but i just couldnt go any longer. The last month or so were so hard on me, partly because i was still working full time 😅

I've been induced at 37 and then 38 weeks (for medical reasons) and I remember telling my husband before we knew when I'd be induced with the second that I can't imagine going to 40 weeks. That extra week this time was so rough. I applaud people who have to go that long. Personally I'd take the induction if they are offering it.

Do you have any complications? This seems so strange to me I’m in the uk and with my son (no complications) they didn’t want to book me in until i was 41+5 and my daughter they wouldn’t even entertain the idea until 39weeks (ended up being booked for 39+2) and thats with 4 episodes of reduced movement, too much fluid and a tail off in growth. If there’s no complications then personally i would wait a decent amount longer than what they’re saying x

Kit days

I’m just curious to see what everyone else has done. I’m due to go back to work on the 1st September, when the funded hours are available. But the closer I get to returning, the less I want to do my kit days. My job is stressful enough, and they’ve even tried to get me to work more kit days for this reason. I’ve spoken to people that started them, then didn’t do the rest because they realised they would rather spend time at home. Then others have said it’s helped them get a routine (as such).
So just curious to see what others have done/are doing 🙂

What was your elective section experience

I'm honestly terrified of going overdue! I don't want an induction or a c section! But 25% of inductions end in section so I would rather bypass all that pain...

Can you share your stories? How was baby and how was your recovery?

Birth debrief/reflection tomorrow

Got my birth debrief tomorrow with the mental health specialist midwife. I have a couple of ideas of what I want to discuss but to make sure I don’t miss anything/waste the opportunity:

What questions did you ask?
What questions did you wish you asked?

Is this normal?

I’m 33+4W and my stomach feels really tight, I have sharp pains in my pelvis when I sit down or go to pee, and I keep getting cramps low down. I’m struggling to sleep at night because of how uncomfortable my stomach feels too. Is this normal at this time?
