42 weekers only please

I am 42 +1 today. I still am measured at 1cm
and 50% effaced. Everything looked great on scans. I can’t remember with my previous pregnancies how dilated I was before birth. How dilated were you before active labor?

I was only half a cm when I had my sweep done at 40 weeks. When labour started I laboured at home for two days and when I went into hospital to be admitted I was 3cm. This was at 40+5 and she was born 40+6 :)

I think my SIL was almost 42 weeks but she had to get induced because nothing was happening. Are your doctors wanting you to be induced or are they comfortable with you still going?

I was 1 cm and 20% effaced until 40 weeks, then 2cm and 50% effaced until I went into labor.

I can’t remember my first but my second was 3cm. She was born at exactly 42 weeks

Will I be induced if I keep having episodes of reduced movements?

I’m currently 36+5 and have been in 4 times so far with reduced movements. I have low PAPP-A so have been advised to keep an eye on movements but now that I’m getting closer to term I’m worried about being induced. This is my second baby and with my first I went naturally at 39 weeks, so an induction scares me! Obviously I want what’s best for the baby but I feel like I’m talking myself out of going into triage again just incase they suggest an induction! Has anyone else experienced an induction due to reduced movements?

Pain relief after c section?

What did everyone take? Just ibuprofen and paracetomal? I've already been discharged so I'm not sure how I get more medication

Hello everyone. I have a son who was born April 5, 2024... And I just found out that I am pregnant with baby number 2, but little bean is also due in April 2027. For those of you that have kids born in the same month, how do you handle or prepare for this?

Nausea with screen time

Does anyone else's nausea/sickness get worse when on the computer? I think it's the combination of the screen and the movement/swivel from my office chair.

Just interested to know if anyone else has had this!?
