How do they know she’s dropped, is this from a bump measurement? If so they’re very unreliable, baby could’ve just been in a different position. Plus even growth scans can be inaccurate so take everything with a pinch of salt!
No its very normal, they just want to check things! Take the measurements with a pinch of salt anyway
Not at all! Normal and the scans aren’t particularly reliable/accurate x
Hi , nothing to worry much. They would scan you regularly for blood flow through the cord and the water around the baby, if thats all okay then they would keep scanning you biweekly.
Hi I got this at my 36 weeks appointment got a growth scan and now have an appointment with the consultant 2 days before my due date but baby could possibly be here before than I wouldn’t worry sometimes I think they aren’t very accurate when they measure your bump xx
We had this and another scan 2 weeks later and it had gone back up to the original centile

Inductions and sweeps
So I’m 38 + 1 weeks and they have said they will be inducing me on my due date if my sweeps aren’t successful.
I went for one yesterday, my midwife said no chance of a sweep as my bodies not ready after checking and said we can try next week.
I’m a tad nervous they are going to have to induce me, in case it just makes birthing 10x worse. Has anyone had any issues when being induced?

2nd baby, huge bump
Is anyone else on their 2nd baby and just absolutely huge. This was me last Wednesday at 31 weeks pregnant! Now 32 weeks. Can't believe there's another 2 months to go. It doesn't feel possible to grow anymore?!

Inductions
So baby is still not here 😞
Anyone had their waters broken? How long did it take to go into labour after doing that? Ive been told thats all i will need to be induced as im 5cm now but nothing is happening for me 😞

Struggling in new job! Haven’t announced yet
I was previously a TA and found out in the summer holidays I was pregnant after accepting a new job in September in a nursery.
It’s only my second day and I’m struggling so much! I’m waiting to tell them after my 12 week scan in another week’s time but I’m so exhausted. I can’t do any nappies or many jobs until my 3 month probation is up so I’m just sat with the children not doing much feeling so sick! Has anyone been in a similar position before?
