I was induced and it wasn’t too bad.

Is this your first? You can start red raspberry leaf tea. Curb walking. Sex. Stretches to get baby in optimal position.

If you want to have a spontaneous birth as long as everything looks good and you both are safe and healthy all you need to do is be patient - stick to your choices as long as they serve you, keep you calm and positive

I’m also 39 weeks today, I’ve given up on going into labour naturally even tho I know it can happen I’ve got an induction scheduled for 41 weeks and I’m just looking at that being the day I’m having my baby honestly

I was induced with my first people just try scare you ! Don’t worry it’s not any more pain then natural birth , take all the drugs they give lol

I refused induction and went into labour naturally. As long as they aren’t worried about anything and or is a low risk pregnancy they usually allow an extra week at a time and reschedule it. Listen to your body and do what’s best for you x

Would you be upset: no midwives showed up for their appointments and no one was told

I was supposed to have my 34 week appointment today where my anemia was going to be checked and she was going to follow up on my VBAC consultation that I been trying to get. I got to the GP and another expectant Mum advised me that no midwives have shown up and she had been waiting since 9:30 (it was 10:15) and the GP didn't know what was going on. So, we both rang maternity and it turns out that the midwife clinic was cancelled today (no illnesses or anything)... However, no one was told. I am a bit upset because I have concerns at the moment and have been waiting a few weeks to get a VBAC appointment. Just wondering if anyone else would be a bit upset at this, after travelling there especially if you are in a lot of pain? They said they can only apologize (which is true not their fault) and try to rebook as soon as they can.

Is 10am too early for a 6 year old birthday party?

It’s a pizza making party and that’s the time before the restaurant opens properly at 11:30.

Low percentile baby

Looking for positive stories only please 🙏 Has anyone been in a similar situation. Baby was 7.7th percentile on 1st growth scan and now 2.9th percentile. Estimated weight is 4.1lbs at 34 weeks. Tummy measurement bringing it down. Going for an additional scan tomorrow.

Growth scans?

First time pregnancy - low risk. Have had scans at 12 and 20 weeks but see everyone talking about having growth scans booked in. Not been mentioned to me at all so just wondering if everyone has these or if it’s just if you’re higher risk? Seems mad i could go from 20 weeks to giving birth with no other scans!

3months old nd pregnant again

Hey everyone so I have a 15 week old on Wednesday nd on Saturday I took a clear blue test nd it says 3+ so I have called to start the process again of pregnancy stuff this is all out of the blue again any advice will be greatful 🥰

Dates.

I recently posted something saying I found at at 2w5d pregnant. People were saying it’s impossible to find out and I’m now worried that somethings wrong with my baby.
From the first day of my last period when I tested positive I would have been around 4 weeks pregnant, when I had my early scan I got dated back to 6w4d instead of 8 weeks. So when I tested I would have been 2w5d pregnant based on my scan, but if I use my period dating id be 4 weeks.
Everything looked okay on the scan the baby had a heartbeat I’m just so confused to as how I could of found out that early, when I tested I was around 7-9dpo and I do ovulate a lot later that an average woman. My cycles are all over the place as I’ve also just recently had a baby back in November. I’m now 8w3d pregnant and all my symptoms are as they should be I just don’t know what’s going on and it’s confusing my brain.
