Leaking??

I’m 34+2 and feeling like even when I’ve properly wiped after having a wee that I’m still a bit wet (TMI) - is this normal, shall I be ringing triage? First baby and no idea if it’s just sweat for this heat 🤣

Got my 20 week scan today , finding out the gender I’m so excited, just wondered if people fancied having a guess at what the gender could be (they all point towards boy also my fiancés side are mostly all boys lol).
- Carrying low
- Slight nausea for 2 weeks early first trimester but no actual vomiting
- Some headaches but not constant
- Cravings have been mostly savoury but some sweet
- No acne
- movement started about 16 weeks so quite early, very active baby just like their dad lol
- always hungry

Grief/bereavement during pregnancy

I am 27 weeks pregnant, first time mum to be. I lost my mum in June this year to cancer when I was around 17 weeks pregnant. It was unexpected.

I’m looking for advice for any Mums who have lost their own mum at any time, and how you have coped. Obviously, losing my mum whilst pregnant is one of the hardest things I’ve had to do and I mourn all the things she won’t get to experience with me.

Any advice is welcome and I’m sorry if any of you are part of this horrible club along with me 🤍

Growth Scan Measuring Larger at 34 Weeks!😫

hey my babes, i’m shook honestly🤣.. so i’m 34weeks and 4 days and i had a growth scan yesterday. I was told he’s 7lb already.. and that i have a lot of fluid surrounding me. i was told i had GD then i don’t, then i had to do then i done the finger pricking for 2 weeks passed that. now after the scan there saying i do.. but my partner was 10lb when he was born so i generally think it’s genetics on his side😭.. they are talking about inducing me which i DONT want to do and also a C section in which they get paid to do. I just want everything to be as natural as possible. Anyone else having/had a similar experience? x

PLEASE tell me labour is coming 😅😅

Yesterday I did the mile circuit, hypnobirthing, on the ball, went for a walk, ate a whole pineapple, ate 6 dates, drank my raspberry leaf tea, had electrolytes, sweated my entire body out eating extra hot spicy dinner, had a long chill shower in the dark, belly laughed watching Michael McIntyre, had sex, used clary sage in the aromatherapy machine yet other than waking up to the odd tightening nothing concrete happened.

This morning I've been trying to deep clean the house but so far only just finished the bathroom because I keep getting diarrhea and my back is killing me! Mucus plug has been slowly coming out for the past week but have lost a bit more this morning, no blood or anything though...

Once I've finished cleaning I was thinking I'll have an aromatherapy bath and then might use my breast pump after...

Determined to get her out before Sunday cause I have to go to the hospital to talk about the plan to get her out then and I just don't want to do that 😬😬

Thank you!! 🥰

Second c section tomorrow

I have an elective c section tomorro and I am absolutely terrified. I had a c section with my little boy but I was in labour so I never felt any pain, it wasn’t an emergency or anything it was planned but I just went into labour before I reached my elective c section day. Can anyone just offer reassurance? I’ve hardly slept and I think it’s because I’m worried about blood loss as my blood count has been fluctuating and so has my ferratin but apparently I didn’t meet criteria for an iron infusion.
