Who’s still pregnant and was due around the 11/09

Really tired and not sure why 2nd o pregnancy is taking longer than the first.
Any suggestions?
Had 1 sweep which was successful but did not induce labour

I was due on 17th so a bit later than you. just waiting for spontaneous labour and don’t feel it’s happening any time soon 😔 did lose mucus plug today though and hospital want me in for monitoring tomorrow as I declined an induction. Feel like going to be here next week with no signs haha

Same here other than losing mucus plug nothing yet. It’s incredibly exhausting at this point. I’ve als declined an induction but will do a sweep, hopefully that kicks things off
Hope yours comes soon too

Same here!! I was due on the 14th, had a sweep the day after, midwife seemed to think it went well I had period cramps and lost my mucus plug then nothing…

Booked for induction this Tuesday 41 + 1 but really not keen to be induced but also don’t know how much longer I can wait🥲 this is also my second and was convinced he would come early, he clearly has other plans😅

Braxton hicks/prodromal labour

I'm 35+4 but throughout my pregnancy (and last) had lots of braxton hicks/tightenings and threatened preterm labour. Despite 3x positive actim partus preterm labour tests it has never come to anything, on a couple of occasions I was admitted for steroids and monitoring but it has always passed with no cervical changes or dilation.

I've been having lots of irregular tightenings and discomfort generally but yesterday was a bit more intense through the day and I timed them in the evening, carried on in a similar pattern for a few hours. It died down, I slept and today is back to 'my normal' of irregular, uncomfortable tightenings and generally feeling achy and uncomfortable.

Has anyone else had similar to this and how long did it last before you went into labour? I didn't labour with my first baby as I ended up with an elective but hoping for a VBAC this time round

How're we dealing with bump comments

People keep commenting on how big im getting and dont get me wrong it's definitely clear im pregnant now (22+5) but people keep making comments and I have some prior body issues I was still working on when I fell pregnant so hearing things like 'youre getting so big!' Even when meant harmlessly can be quite hard for me to hear even if I do know i am getting bigger and am comfortable with the changes happening since I know it means baby is just getting bigger and my body is working with that. Just feels like the amount of unsolicited comments made is insane especially as a FTM with no prior experience with pregnancy

Pregnancy Pillows

Hiya! I’m a first time mum and was wondering when anyone started using a pregnancy pillow? I’m currently 24 weeks and i don’t have one, is it something to invest in asap?
