Pelvic pain
I don’t know whether triage would want to see me or whether they’d not be interested as I’m 40+2 weeks, and over the past three days, I’ve started to feel like my pelvis is ripping to shreds, it’s so sore, has a burning sensation sometimes and getting out of bed is painful, sitting on the toilet is painful. Unless I keep my legs closed it hurts. Sleeping is painful. Is this normal?

Call triage, they'd rather speak to you than not specially since you're over 40 weeks now
40 weeks I'd be calling and getting checked out xx
Sounds like pelvic girdle, they probably wont do anything about it as there isn’t much that can be done xx
I’m 35 weeks when I had pelvic pain had to call maternity Triage to get advice and they told me it was pelvic girdle due to baby growing and less space and all that I’ve been told to rest and keep an eye on it and they do say to take paracetamol if that don’t help with the pain to try hot baths to help
I’m suffering with pelvic pain. Keep your legs together when rolling out of bed/ getting out the car. You can use a warm compress to try and help. I’m currently in the bath hoping it might help. My physio said to sit and put a cushion between your legs and then squeeze your knees together to try and help but it didn’t seem to do much for me 🙈

Going out
Hi,
Might be a silly question but I'm a ftm and my baby is 4 weeks, me and my mum are going to a garden centre and want to take the baby, my question is, is that okay?
Did anyone else take their baby out at 4 weeks?

I’m so nervous, 1st ultrasound tomorrow
I stupidly did the sneak peek gender test at 7 weeks before I even had my first ultrasound. It says I’m having a girl. I have two boys currently. I’ve had a miscarriage before and I’m so worried this ultrasound is going to show something that isn’t a viable pregnancy. I feel like I know in my core that everything is OK but I have that nervous feeling of the unknown as well. I’m 8 weeks today. Idk why I’m posting lol I’m just so nervous.

Home birth at 40 +2! Baby has arrived
Really happy to say my baby has arrived safely after an incredible home birth. I'm so pleased to have gotten my home birth with my second child. The difference post birth is truly magical.
My 5 year old daughter was there to witness her baby brother come in the world. I had a lovely hot bath in the evening and we all laid on the sofa for the remainder of the day and watched strictly before heading to bed.
The birth overall was fast at 6hrs 30 mins. Although at the time it felt long and very intense.
Happy to share any further details on my birth as I know how much birth stories helped me when I was planning my home birth as I was outside of guidance with risk of PPH.
