How long was your latent phase ?
41+1 today and been in the latent phase for the last 3 daysish, currently losing my mucus plug and contractions are so painful but irregular, sometimes 30 mins apart, the midwife yesterday said I should wait to see what happens naturally and she didn’t sweep me but I’m thinking I should just get the sweep tomorrow to move things along?
I’m so conflicted got my induction booked on Thursday which i absolutely don’t want 🥲

Newborn essentials
Went into Mama’s and Papa’s yesterday but found it so overwhelming. Anyone have any recommendations of things we absolutely need for the newborn and what you couldn’t live with out? Which pushchair did you go for? There’s so much to choose from! First time mama needs help 💖

SVT during pregnancy
Hello!
Has anyone ever had an SVT during pregnancy? I have no underlying heart issues and no family history, however last week my heart raised to 151bpm and stayed like it for hours. Had to call an ambulance and be kept in A&E overnight - was given adenosine to bring it down but it was very scary. I’m 21 weeks. I’m going to have an echocardiogram to see if there’s anything underlying. Thankfully baby boy is fine! Just wondering if anyone has ever had this as it’s made me so worried?

NHS & appointments
I had my ‘booking’ in appointment yesterday over the phone and they set up my app and things. I have an appointment on there for 16 weeks but I still can’t see a 12 week appointment?
Is this normal?

People touching buggy
FTM and find that people keep touching my buggy like it’s public property every week.
They will move it out of the way, use it as a crutch, walk by and just grab it for to reason, try to squeeze past it or over when I make a hand gesture that I’m actively moving it out of their way. All while my baby is inside it and usually asleep.
It always happens so fast that I can’t even react. As an adult, I wouldn’t come and touch your vehicle...
Does this happen to anyone else?

Supported sitting
Anyone else practicing supported sitting with their 4 month olds? Mine rolls both ways and she holds her neck pretty strong. Would it be okay to try or is this too early?

17 days post c section.
So I’m 17 days post c section and on my left side I can really feel what I can only describe as an internal incision/stitches I feel it most when I move in certain positions, stretch, sit up etc. it’s like a pulling/tugging sensation it’s kind of hard to explain.
Has anyone else experienced this? I have an appointment tommorow with the wound clinic.
