Line progression

How is this line progression from 10dpo to 12dpo?

I thought we peaked at 6 weeks but leading up to 8 weeks my baby is putting me through it omggg! The crying, the fussing, the fighting sleep, the extra clingy-ness, it went up x10 this week. Every day this week I’ve had to order food because I couldn’t even get 5 minutes to prepare something. Then I’m eating with him literally on my chest. And this is whilst in the trenches of maternity pay may I add. Thankfully my mom is having him tonight so I can have break but then I feel like I’m still not going to get any sleep because I’ll miss him 😅

Anyway my logic is since it has gotten worse it can only get better! How is everyone else’s 6-8 week stage going?

Frequently going to the toilet 💩

TMI 🙈 I’m 38 weeks and for the past week or so I’ve been constantly going to the toilet to 💩 I’ve seen and heard a lot of people say that it’s your body’s way of telling you that it’s preparing for labour due to hormones etc but I don’t know how much more I can take!! 🙈🤣 My belly is constantly in pain. I’ll go to the toilet then half an hour later I’ll be running back to the loo. Did anyone else experience this towards the end of their final trimester?? I haven’t lost my mucas plug or anything like that, just have a constant pressure on my 🐱 which has caused swelling, been leaking more colostrum than normal and struggling to sleep. If anyone has experienced this, how long did it take you to go into labour? Praying I don’t go over my due date 🤣

Rushing into a D&C?

I feel like doctors are rushing my sister into a D&C. She had her first appointment and ultrasound on Wednesday. She thought she was 7 weeks 2 days, but she was measuring 6 weeks 3 days. There was no heartbeat. They scheduled another scan to confirm only two days later on Friday (also seems way too soon to me!). There still wasn’t a heartbeat, so they’ve scheduled a D&C on Monday…I just really feel like they didn’t give it enough time. If she ovulated later than expected, measuring a week behind isn’t a big deal. And I also feel like it’s not super uncommon for a heartbeat to not be detectable that early. Please comment any personal experiences or advice. I haven’t said any of this to her yet because I don’t want to be insensitive. She really wanted this baby and is having a hard time with all this.

Birthing partners!

Currently being induced at 39 weeks and feel absolutely terrible for my partner being here with me. Uncomfy chair (expected) but them not even offering him a drink :(( I feel so guilty
