Labour starting 🤞

I’m 39+2, I had the worst pressure down there last night and then didn’t sleep well at all last night due to some really weird dreams and terrible backache and since I got up I have contractions every 5 or 10 minutes. Feels very real now!
No waters breaking yet or mucus plug though.

You might not lose a plug or have your waters break, dont worry if not or wait for those to be a sign- for contractions that regular I would call the hospital to let them know, heres hoping this is it!!

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?!

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?
