Prodromal labor

If you experienced prodromal labor, how long after that did you into actual labor?

I felt it twice a couple of weeks ago and nothing since then until today.
Today it felt a bit more intense, literally felt like puking from the pain. I got on my birth ball and just kept breathing through it and it helped a bit but now I have really bad lower back pain.

I’m 37+1 today and got checked for dilation last Wednesday and dr said I wasn’t so just curious. This hurts 😬

lil bit worried

hi, i had my 20 week anatomy scan friday, and they said the baby's head is measuring small and that I need to see a specialist. a scan has been arranged this Wednesday, they said theyd like me to be seen sooner rather than later, so have to travel to a different city, for a fetal medicine ultrasound scan. has anyone had this before? I feel slightly worried tbh!

Idk the gender 🩵🩷

Had my last scan at 20 weeks and not required anymore. However they couldn’t clarify the gender of the baby. Now I feel I need to pay for a private scan to find out gender or is there any way around this? Private scans are so expensive.

Anyone else

Anyone else had soft scoop ice cream (ice cream van) completely forgot you can eat till after I ate it. I’m early pregnant atm.

MMRV

Have any of your August babies had this yet? How were they after, particularly in the following weeks?

midwife app

is everybody’s midwife’s appointments the same?

for me it’s always just been one to one discussing symptoms, mental & physical heath updates and talking about the little things ect.
I never know anything to do with my actual baby until I have scans at the hospital but I see other people say their midwife tells them more in depth details about their baby or even some cervical checks to see progress.

Private scans🤰🏼

Did anyone else pay for more than 1 private scan🫣 I’ve just had my first which showed the heartbeat and really would like to get another in 2 weeks as I know the growth is massive in that time and looks way more like a baby! (First baby)
We will be obviously getting the 12 and 20 week on the NHS and then a private gender scan at 15 weeks.
