Due October 8th too and no signs of labor yet either. Last time they checked I was 1cm but my doctor said she’s seen both, people going from 1cm to 9cm in less than a day or people staying at 4cm for weeks. Don’t worry about it too much, your body is doing what it’s supposed to and will have baby here in the right time!

I'm due october 8th !

Yes. Me and no signs of labor at all but it's pretty much normal. Due date doesn't mean that baby should come at the latest on your due date. You could literally have your baby till 23 October approximately and still be perfectly on time.

Girl im due october 8th and look exactly like this 😅 when they went to check my cervix they said the couldnt find it 😳 that it was still way back in there..... 🙄 at that point I just decided to schedule and induction for the next day after and have been using the induction sheet faithfully to get it all prepared enough.. they said primrose oil capsules one orally in the morning and one vaginally at night (ive found using a tampon applicator is very beneficial for this) this is to thin and soften the cervix.. also raspberry tea twice a day. And curb walking which i dont do that one as much because of my pelvic issues

Babies will always come on their own with patience. Your body will do what it needs to do, when it's ready.

How are we getting babies ready to come out?

I’m not usually one to be impatient and I do believe babies come when they’re ready (hence getting to 42+1 in my first pregnany).
However, I have a toddler and had a previous c-section. I’m scared about how continuing to get bigger will affect my scar / possibility of it rupturing.
I am booked for an elective section if baby is not here by next Monday - but I really would prefer a VBAC (for recovery with a toddler)

Did you do anything that you truly think helped bring on labour?

Steps

Walked 15k steps today trying to get this baby out, any chance this has worked for other people?😂

Freaking out a bit

I am aware that the fear I am having is irrational but I am seeking similar stories and some re-assurance. I had a private scan which I thought was 9th week, it proved to be 13+3 weeks, despite rushing to book NHS appts, I missed the window for NT check against Down Syndrome. My blood test against the syndrome at 17 weeks came back low risk, my 20 week anomaly scan showed no concerns and everything is fine, including nuchal fold in norm. However, due to the fact I had no NT checked (I realised post private scan that it was just a basic one), I am kinda freaking out as I am 40, already feel guilty that I got my dates so wrong at the start, and the private examiner asked if I planned the blood tests which felt a bit odd. It might have been just a routine question, however it's stuck with me. Any similar stories? With happy ending of course 🙈😅

Head at 97th percentile

Hi all,

Had my 28 week scan and baby was measuring 67th percentile overall, but head at 97th percentile.

Freaking out that something is wrong with their brain and have to wait until Thursday for my 32 week growth scan.

Had a loss at 24 weeks last year and don't think I could cope with more bad news :(
