39+1 and sooo ready for baby

I’ve had cramps in my back for 3 days and last night I really thought it was baby time 😅 I had tightenings in my stomach every 20 minutes so got some sleep around 11pm, but woke up this morning and still no baby 😂
I was induced with my first at 38 weeks so I’ve never been through this before.
Is anyone else having cramping in their back and intense braxton hicks?

How was the induction? I'm on a list for it because of hypertension but really want to go into labour naturally. I'm also 39+1 I've had loads of cramps and my baby has fully descended but its my first one so I'm unlikely to go into early labour but you're sounding like it🙏😇

I thought it was happening last night too! Tried to go to sleep and started getting cramps and nausea bad! Went to the toilet, turns out it was just diarrhoea AGAIN. I still held hope that it was my body ‘clearing out’ lol but woke up to no baby too 😭😂

Im 39w today and have had waves of really strong lower back ache over the last couple days. Been getting braxton hicks for weeks but they are definitely becoming more frequent and intense but still no pain to them - just uncomfortable. First time baby for me so I am struggling identifying what is normal or what might be something happening! So desperate to meet our little one asap now tho🤞🏼

Has anyone gained 10 pounds or more within the first trimester alone?

I’m very body weight conscious and I know it’s not time to be on a diet or anything like that but I noticed I gained a lot of weight rapidly for only being 14 weeks. I’m concerned it’s only going to increase significantly more than the average total which is 25-35 pounds. Comments from people in the same boat maybe would be helpful..thanks

Still no baby!

Just sharing my frustration at still being pregnant!!

I’ve got a midwife appointment this morning with potential sweep, but the baby is yet to engage so I’m already going in expecting this to be a waste of time for me & midwife.

Hot sweats

Since giving birth, I have struggled with terrible hot sweats, does anyone else have this? Is this normal?

No baby bump yet

This is my first pregnancy (18 weeks right now), and I'm plus size, and no baby bump yet. I'm so over my mom telling me every time she asks if I'm showing yet.. "well, you are overweight..." Anyone else deal with this in their first pregnancy? Honestly, I feel like it more has to do with it being my first than being fat pre-pregnancy. Sigh. Just frustrating when everything is completely healthy but I still feel like my weight is the center of attention.
