Positive story with foley balloon?

Had the foley balloon fitted last night at 2100 after 4 attempts and 2 different midwives as although my cervix was soft apparently it was very closed but the end she managed to force it to 0.5cm. Since then I’ve had irregular contractions although some quite painful and close together for a few hours that I had to get some pain relief, have also lost my bloody show. What’s the odds I’m gonna be dilated enough to break my waters after the 18 hours?

Reduced movements during flu/cold?

Today i found out if you have the flu or a cold you feel really under the weather and just want to lie down and rest - our babies do the same thing, their movements may be reduced because they are reserving energy, didn’t know this before but it puts my mind at ease as i had the worst flu over the past week at 37 weeks and baby girl was quite quiet ❤️🥰

Hiya all!

I’m new to the app, I was just wondering how your 17 week old babies are getting on with rolling?

My daughters rolling from her back to her belly one side but won’t roll the other way just yet xxx

Low PAPP-A advice

I’ve just had a call from my midwife following from my 12 week scan on Wednesday saying I have low PAPP-A and have been advised to take aspirin every night, she didn’t seemed too concerned but I obviously have been googling everything and have sent myself down a hole.. anyone else had PAPP-A and everything was ok? My scan was on the 47th percentile at 12 weeks.
Any advice or reassurance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
