First baby

I’m pregnant with my first baby and I am so paranoid that if I lie on my tummy early on can harm the baby has anyone else experienced this

Overwhelmed and anxious at 38weeks

Hey, I’m 38+1 and so overwhelmed with everything and feeling slightly apprehensive now. I’m due 16th Aug, however I am measuring small, according to midwife and scans. I’ve had to go in for extra growth scans and there was talk about inducing me due to reduced movement however I am not yet ready for baby so I put it off last week. Things seemed to have evened out now, and baby was measuring 5lbs7 at my last growth. I still haven’t packed my hospital bag or baby’s bag, and I have no idea where to even begin or which bag to bring. I held off washing baby clothes due to a malfunctioning new wardrobe and I didn’t want to wash with nowhere to store clothes etc. I’ve finally started washing things now and placing clothes in storage boxes for now till I sort the wardrobe out, but I’m worried at my next scan (tomorrow) they might want to start things off. My midwife keeps saying we’ll do the birth plan but we haven’t yet, I’m not sleeping at night and have terrible heartburn :( also I want to try breastfeed this time round and unsure whether to take my breast pump into hospital with me.. any advice please. Thanks

Due date

Today is my baby's due date... he's been in the NICU for 11 weeks 4 days and still counting

I'm not sure how to feel about today, lots of emotions but also feeling numb?

When having a baby you don't ever think you'd need to process these thoughts and feelings and now its happening and I just feel a bit... lost?..

NIPT

Anyone in Australia, have the NIPT test? Can you tell me about it? Is it a blood test? How long until you get the results? When can you get it done?

So bored!?

I am getting so bored of waiting. My due date isn't until 14th Aug but I really hoped baby would come last or this week as my 1st came at 38 weeks very quickly. I am starting to think baby will still be there on due date🥺 All midwives were certain I'd have baby by now or end of this week due to my 1st labour
I dont know how to fill my days and I am SO bored as now don't have much work to do. Any tips to fill the boredom and continously waiting for nothing🤣
