I've not had one yet but I've heard that's all normal and to be expected! Doesn't necessarily mean anything from what I understand, just have to see what the next few days bring!

I’ve had 2 this pregnancy , one last week on Friday and one Wednesday at 39 weeks and I’ve had all of these symptoms both times and I’m still waiting on my little girls arrival !! Xxx

I've literally came on for this had pressure all day baby between my legs fully engaged and back ache, had a sweep around 4pm and a scan that confirmed baby was fully engaged my cervix was almost ready and 4cms dilated. I also have these symptoms but no contractions as of yet. I've been on the ball and had some braxton hicks but nothing established as of yet. Was really hoping this sweep would push me into active labour.

Toddler (29 months) Name Change 💕

Please be kind, I’m just looking for friendly advice or thoughts. I had a few names on my baby name list for my daughter that I almost used. I do like her name, but as she’s grown, she really fits another name on my list so beautifully with her appearance & personality. It’s close enough in sound that I don’t think her development would be interfered with. I’m not worried about how others in my life would react to the change, it’s all about trying to decide what is best for her 💕
My thought is to use her given name as another middle name so she’d have 2 middle names 🤍

Abit confused on what’s going on. Baby gone from 90th percentile to 60th in a few weeks and says baby growth is still a slight worry .

Anyone know why is that?

Getting very slight waves of stomach pain, could this be the start?!

Having waves of slight twinges of pain like a stomach ache that is noticable and I haven't experienced before, my due date is tomorrow🤞🎉

30 weeks + 6

Had reduced movements past 2 days but feel him on a night at my midwife appointment today everything was fine but wanted to send me to triage been there for past hour monitoring baby's movements which was all fine but have moved my growth Scan forward for the next few days rather than 2 weeks time just to see baby and regular monitoring has anyone else experienced this?

Driving after c section

How long did it take for people to be able to drive again? I’m really stressed about not being able to drive independently. I have family around but they do all work full time and can’t always rely on them. I also don’t live somewhere with good public transport

Inductions

I had my 36 week growth scan yesterday, everything is measuring perfectly, baby is weighing 6.2lbs and following their growth chart nicely. But I thought it was weird how the consultant said 'ok we will do an induction at 40weeks yeah?' and I was like umm no?? I'm a ftm, had a really straightforward pregnancy with no issues, only reason I have consultant lead is cause my BMI was slightly over the margin and it's my first baby. Has anyone else found that they're pushing inductions without medical reasons?
