Is anyone else past their due date?
Currently 40+4 with my second and losing my mind

I have a scheduled c section at 41 weeks and I was really going for a vbac but I’m running out of time.

Nows the time to really focus on not letting that stress and fear boil up, if you can get a membrane sweep do that, sex, and nipple stimulation. Also try to get out and do something that relaxes you, swimming can really help kickstart labor, or a warm bath, prenatal massage they can do with you sitting in a chair if its more comfortable, have a movie night with a feel good movie and snuggle with your kiddos, cuddle with your hubby. It will happen

What is this?!

Someone has to know I’m going crazy!

The staff room at work had these little cookie cake type things and they tasted so good, like marzipan! They’re little flower shapes but I can’t seem to find them online and no one in the building knows where they came from apparently 😫😫😫

Growth Scan problems

Hiii growth scan today and just want to know everyone's opinions as ive left upset and feel like i dont know how worried to be!! Im 35weeks plus 1 and baby is now breach they've said they are worried about his growth and im now on weekly scans as he looks around 5lbs is this really small or??? Worried for baby and had planned to do a natural birth so its all just knocked me back a bit

They've basically told me the only option is a c section at 38/39 weeks unless he moves on his own

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’m being emergency induced at 39+4 weeks pregnant for the size of my babies head 🤣

So his head is on the larger side, has been for weeks. I’ve been told if he stays inside cooking, it could get even bigger. His head isn’t and probably won’t engage to start natural labour because it’s so big 🤣 I just feel like…that’s an absolute hilarious thing to tell him when he’s older hahaha and I feel very immature about it. He’s completely healthy otherwise.

Anyway, they did say it could end in a c-section because it might get stuck or completely tear me to shreds, which I’m more scared of a c-section which is why I’ve opted for the induction, has this ever happened to anyone else? My first was easy, I had no issues whatsoever. This one seems a lot scarier 🥲 not to mention my family aren’t supporting me as much as they were before they knew I was being induced, my SIL is due via c-section on 1st September, and they’ve all been saying how my son will be born on the same day as him or after, but now that he’s coming this week…they have been distant and their energy has switched up massively. No excitement, no joy, like nothing they would usually be saying/doing. Almost like I’ve just told them the weather and they’ve nodded along and said oh….
