Yes! Can't be far off now, I'm due 18th but likely to be induced at 38 weeks so anyone due early Oct and being induced early hasn't got long to go now π

I'm due on the 8th π

Yess, so excited for this!! I'm even happy to hear pre-labour stories tbh. I think I'm just soo done and tired now - I just want the weeks to move faster! π

Yessss really excited to see first October baby announcements! End of October over here x

Hi all, I just wanted to sense check I am getting the most out of my midwife appointment. Currently 31 weeks with my first baby, so it could be my own misconceptions about what actually happens at these appointments. But I feel overall very clueless, my appointments feel the same urine/blood test, hear thr heartbeat, do you feel safe at home, see you next time.
I thought we would have more discussions about things I should be knowing like vitamins, top tips, feeding/birthing plans, dos and donts etc. Everything I have learnt is from Google (not always the most trusted source). Happy to hear your experiences or if I have just built in image up in my head which isn't realistic!

Been having on and off diarrhoea for the past few weeks but last night I had intense intestinal cramps with the diarrhoea. Only lasted around 45 mins and had some more since, but no further cramps. Any one else experienced similar?

Iβm currently 35.5 weeks pregnant and, as Iβm over 40, my consultant is keen to medically induce me at 39 weeks. To date I havenβt found enough solid evidence that this is required (without additional risk factors). Iβm really not keen on a medical induction and he didnβt even mention having a membrane sweep. Is anyone else in a similar position?
