I had my first sweep on the 1st (39+2), wasn't able to be done. Got another sweep booked in on the 6th (due date) to hopefully get things going! But failing that I have a section booked for the 9th, but hoping for a vbac x
I’ve been booked in for a sweep at 38+1.
Though I’m currently 37+1 and I’ve been having regular but mildish contractions for 24 hours so we’ll see if I need it!
Not booked in currently, but at my next midwife appointment looking to get one booked for 39 weeks. So thats two weeks time, so still time to go into labour before then x
I’m waiting until 41 weeks before I have any interventions. We will see how it goes x

Meet Ivy!

An extremely successful VBAC hours after a membrane sweep.
I was 3cm at 1am, 10cm by 2:10am baby delivered at 2:34am.
No tearing. 3 stitches due to deep grazing just to be safe.

Inducing labour naturally
Has anyone attempted to induce labour at home by having sex?
Did it work? Or is it another myth? 😂 I'm at the point where I'll try almost anything to get this baby out now 😂

When did you feel your babies consistent kicks?
I am about to be 21 weeks and I only feel him sometimes but I wanted to know if that’s normal.

Bump size
Does anyone else feel like they’re carrying quite small? I’ve had my 20 week scan and my baby is totally fine and in the normal centile range, but people keep telling me I barely look pregnant!
I’m 5ft 9 so maybe height is playing a role but with my first I felt like I actually looked bigger! 21 weeks today

Bleeding 😢
Just gone go the toilet and I’m bleeding bright red blood & it’s there every time I wipe
Looks like the first day of my period.
I’m nearly 8 weeks pregnant
I’m so scared.
Just called 111 and waiting for a call back from my doctors.
I don’t have any cramping but just feeling so down now 😢
