What to do if over due?

Has anyone gone to 42 weeks in any pregnancies before allowing intervention?
2nd - from experience, would you choose induction or elective c section if got to 42 weeks?
I dont think ive ever heard a single good induction story

My 1st child was spontaneous and very quick, no intervention at all. However this baby seems to want to stay in!

I’m in the same boat as you. My daughter came at 40+4, very quick labour, uncomplicated, no intervention. My son however is currently at 40+4 and I have absolutely no signs of him coming soon 🤣

Girl or Boy? 🩵🩷

What do you reckon?
I had a gender scan at 16.4 weeks pregnant, I’m 17.4 weeks now. And they said baba is girl, but now someone has said and it’s got me thinking that they might have been wrong and it was hiding… what do you reckon?
To me, it looks very much girl.

Baby no2

How did people find the jump from one to two?

I just found out I’m pregnant with my second and rough due date would be around my daughter’s 2nd birthday which scares me because I want it to be her special day, obviously I know baby can come at anytime but I feel guilty already and also she will only be two im worried about the age gap being so young

How hard is it?😩

Placenta anyone?

Hey ladies, I wanted to know how you all felt about taking home your placenta... I was all set to take mine home, but now I'm like, do I want to bother with all the ends and outs.

I did plan to freeze it until I acquired the citrus tree I chose to bury it under...What do you all think? Have you done it?

Cramping

So currently 37+4 with my second. Last night I fully thought I was going to in to labour. I’ve had period like cramps along with mild contractions from 4am onwards that it kept me awake until 6.. it then went and it’s now intermittent. So weird. Has anyone experienced anything similar?

Cramping at 20 weeks

Hello everyone I’m 20 weeks+4 and the past couple of mornings I have woke up with some cramping on my lower left side of stomach, not so much like period cramps but it feels tight and heavy and can be a bit painful, usually it goes within 20 minuets but today it’s lasted an hour so far, is anyone else experiencing this or previously experienced ?
