41 weeks
41 weeks, no sign of baby, not dilated at all, no symptoms of birth even being close. What the actual fuck is my baby doing in there 😩

If it helps, my baby arrived at 41+3 yesterday. I didn’t have any signs at 41 weeks either and was sent for an induction on Saturday, 41+2, and they said I was 4cm dilated so didn’t need to have the pessary/balloon to induce me. I was sent home to wait for a midwife to become available to artificially break my waters and within 30 mins of being at home my contractions started on their own and I went into spontaneous later, giving birth 6 hours later without any induction etc.
The only thing I had was a sweep last Tuesday and I did a lot of walking on Thurs/Fri as I was desperate to avoid induction, which I think probably helped with the dilation that I didn’t even notice happening before Saturday!
Good luck xx

C SECTION SHELF!!!
Hi girls, I had an emergency c section 7 months ago, and I still have a shelf. I am 50 kilos & 5ft1 so I know for a fact I am not over weight. I train 6 days a week, I walk minimum 10k steps a day, I drink lots of water I count my calories and have a good protein intake, I do daily scar massages and I STILL have a shelf. I want to know if anyone has ever been lean and still had a shelf ???? I don’t know if this is something I have to have surgery to get rid of, I cannot find anyone’s body type online the same as mine ðŸ˜
It’s not just a small bump either it’s a proper shelf it sticks out maybe 2.5cm standing side on, it’s not hard it’s squishy so I just don’t understand

Meet Alexander
Baby boy arrived last night. Alexander Billy, 7lb 8oz.
I went in for induction, I had a sweep and they determined that I didn't need any intervention other than that as they were able to break my waters without it.
20 minutes after the sweep my contractions started and continued to get more intense.
I wanted an epidural but the anaesthetist was in theatre and labour progressed quicker than he could get to me. Painful but manageable....Just.
My placenta wouldn't come away so the doctor had to manually extract it, which was hideous and I squeezed the msw hand to death! But meant I avoided theatre.
So happy it's all done and he's here in my arms.

Induction or planned c section?
By 39 weeks if I have not gone into spontaneous labour I need to decide, what shall I do?!

Anyone tired of being pregnant?
I am 34 weeks and 4 days today and I have reached the point where I am so constantly uncomfortable that I sometimes tell myself I wouldn't mind it if baby came early. Obviously I don't actually want that, as I know she's still very thriving in there, but between the sleepless spells and the constant back and pelvic pain I do find myself wishing and hoping for time to go faster 🥲
