Due in 4 days
Feeling so bleh, it’s like this pregnancy will never end and I’m just so anxious and excited to meet my daughter. Having some intermittent contractions at night but baby girl is too cozy in there and doesn’t seem like she wants to come out anytime soon.
Being patient but the anticipation for my first labor and delivery experience is driving me crazy :( anyone else feeling the same?

Same gurl. Due in 3 days and was hoping she would come on her own without an induction, but at this point I feel so defeated.
I'm due in 5 days and was convinced this entire pregnancy that she was going to come early but at my last appointment I wasn't dilated or effaced at all 🥲 if I'm not dilated to at least 1cm by 41 weeks I have to have a C-section so I'm feeling very defeated right now.

7th October baby! 🥰
Our 3rd and final baby arrived on Wednesday by planned c section! 🥰 We had a suprise gender this time as we already had a son and daughter and we welcomed another baby girl to the world 💖 feeling incredibly lucky!
Love seeing everyone’s announcements!

When did your second baby arrive? Sooner or later than the first?
My first came spontaneously at 38 + 3, immediately after a Taylor swift concert. I had a section booked for 39+6 so caught us off guard. But we never had to wonder when or overthink every symptom thinking could this be it.
Today is 38+5 with baby number 2. Only started mat leave a few days ago and I’m so bored already. I feel like I’ve done everything on my prep list. Really hoping this baby doesn’t come late. Statistically they say 2 days earlier than the first.

Potential pre eclampsia
Had my 40 week midwife appointment today and my blood pressure was above the threshold I think she roughly said 144/94 and also a slight amount of protein in my urine. She rang triage to get their opinion but they are currently on divert due to being so full, they said it is borderline so just to keep an eye on symptoms over the weekend. She took bloods from me today and I’m back in to see the midwife on Monday to get results, recheck BP and potentially get a sweep. I am quite nervous now though as I was planning a vbac but have my pre op for c section booked in for next Friday If spontaneous labour doesn’t happen. They don’t seem overly concerned which should be reassuring but I am such an anxious person I can’t help but sit here panicking. Has anyone else had a similar experience?

This is so weird but…
Does anyone else feel like their baby is gunna drop out when they crouch down
I’m due end of December and I feel like my baby is sooo big already, this is my 3rd child and my eldest is only 3.5 so quite small age gaps, I have a midwife appointment on Tuesday so will definitely bring it up

Baby 2?
Trying to decide if I’m ready for baby 2 or not. Current plan is to start trying in Dec, but I can’t help but think my baby is just still a baby even though he’s nearly 2. The guilt is real!!! Anyone else feeling the same way? I don’t want to have a huge age gap and I’m also conscious of age! (32)

Worried about birth
This is my 4th time being pregnant, I was first pregnant at 17 and then 18 but lost them. I had my son at 19 and I currently just started the second trimester which is making everything so much more real. I know that having my baby is still months and months away but I’m scared. When I had my son I almost died from blood loss because of hemorrhaging, and my l&d nurse told me that the next time I would give birth it could be a lot worse. I just am worried.
