Same here!! I’m 40 weeks tomorrow with my second and all I’ve had so far is period like cramps on and off for ages! Still no signs of true labour and it feels like it’s never going to happen 🥲
Yep feeling the same at 38+3
I just have to keep reminding myself that the due date is a complete estimate and not a hard and fast “end date”. This is my second baby so people keep telling me I won’t make it to my due date, but at this rate I definitely think I’ll go overdue!
I’m also worried about going “over my due date” as I know I’ll be pushed for an induction, the absolute last thing I want… just praying baby comes in the next week 🤞🏻
I went to 41+4 with my first and the waiting, comments from others and prodromal labour symptoms made me go mad! This time I am trying to intentionally prepare myself to go past 41 weeks and just plan something every day, meet up with friends and family, events close to home that I can cancel at the last minute should baby surprise us.
Baby will come when they’re ready and less patience will just make it harder 😅🥲

So relieved to have (almost) made it to Sept 1st 🎉
Is anyone else soooo relieved to confidently know their baby is going to have a September birthday and be the oldest in the school year if in England (almost - unless I have a 3 hour labour starting right now 😂)? I have been sooo anxious for the past 2 weeks about going into labour early and my baby having an end of August birthday and being the youngest in the school year. I know you can defer their start date and being the youngest isn’t always the worst thing but I have been a Reception teacher for years and would just much prefer them to be a September baby. Have been holding my breath for weeks as it’s my second and I have had lots of pre labour symptoms but feel like I can finally breath and welcome the birth! (My due date is 2nd Sept)

Diabetes test
Anyone had to take the diabetes test twice?
I had mine yesterday and it has come back normal on the app. However I’m having two pluses of glucose in my wee every time it’s tested so I’m wondering whether they will make me do the test again in a few weeks? I will ask my midwife next week but just wondered if anyone else is in the same boat

Acne
Anyone else struggling with acne in their pregnancy? I'm 9 weeks exactly today and I have the skin of a 15 year old currently 😭😂
Also does anyone know any pregnancy safe acne solutions? I know there's a bunch of skincare you can't use while pregnant like retinol, but my skin needs sorting out before my wedding in October 😅😂

Pregnancy after 3mc
So we found out that I am pregnant this weekend- as we’ve had 3 MC in a row this year I’m trying to feel as optimistic as I possibly can about the pregnancy. It’s typical that it’s been a bank holiday here in the UK today so I haven’t managed to get hold of my GP, Obstetrician or the EPU to be seen asap.
Hopefully I will get to talk to somebody tomorrow as I’m still waiting on results from my various blood panels.
To those who have gone on to have a successful pregnancy when did you allow yourself to be excited about being pregnant?

Dry AF
I’m 6 months PP. I’m BF. Desire is still pretty low for me, but I’m willing for hubs. When will I stop being so dry & feel like me again? lol I don’t know this body!
