Silly question: if you felt like you were going to give birth BEFORE 40 weeks, were you right?

I know this is a weird question, but if ever during pregnancy you felt like you were going to go into labour sooner than 40 weeks.... Were you correct. Just curious

I did just not as early as I thought 😂 I had a friend who delivered at 30 weeks. I was 20 weeks at the time. At around 32 weeks I was having a ton of pain and Braxton Hicks (because of her having her daughter so early I was panicked which made it worse). I ended up induced at 39 weeks lol

I was told by my midwife at my 38 week appointment that I wouldn’t make it to term but book the appointment in just in case… I made it to term and went over. I was so upset at that midwife appointment 😂

It's probably all in my head, but I feel like 39 weeks will be it for me haha just due to symptoms

I thought I was going to be late I just sensed it but my baby came 5 days early

I went into labour at 38 weeks. I had a midwife appointment that morning and neither of us has any clue that it would be later that day 😂

After I gave birth I have things bulging out of my vagina ! My doctor said it’s normal most women that have birth vaginas look like that but she recommended I do some kegel exercises and not worry about it , but I can’t help it

Did u have the same experience?

4lb baby

I’m due to have a planned c-section at 38+1 due to intrauterine growth restriction (I’ve had many complications with my placenta but luckily he’s managed to hold on in there until 38 weeks!) however my placenta is worsening and he’s dropped to the 2nd centile and his weight is currently only 3.9lb (I know their measurements can be off).

I’m wanting to know if anyone has had a teeny tiny but full term baby and whether they needed extra support in the hospital? My understanding is he may need help with his feeding & body temp - I’m hoping not breathing. I’ve been warned he may need an NG tube. I’m very open to all of this support but would just like to hear if other people have been in this position and if so, what did it look like for you & how long were you in the hospital for? 👶🏼

Not much movement

I’m 27 weeks tomorrow and I’ve not felt much movement since Sunday. I have an anterior placenta so I just keep thinking he’s tucked himself back up behind my placenta again and I’ve just been incredibly lucky the last two weeks to have felt him kicking me and tapping me back after I prod him and playing little games.
The only way I can explain the movements is like muscle spasms a few times a day and then l have idea how to explain the pressure or sensation just above my pubic bone.
Do you think I should go to the hospital?

Hospital bag…

I’m 32 weeks today and starting to get my head around packing a hospital bag ready again… where has the time gone!
My son is 20 months, so I should remember everything I packed the last time, but my mind is pretty much blank… I’m guessing baby brain!
Any ideas or top packs? I know the one thing I was thankful for was my hand held fan. (Hoping if things go to plan, it will be a planned C section again due to my health conditions.)
