Had a similar question hanging over me. I said I'd decide the day before luckily dodged it by actually being in labour

No no no no!!!! People has to understand if they don’t…bye bye👋🏼

All depends on how you feel.

If you dont want to go, like how it sounds, then dont. Just tell them straight.

If you intend to go but not sure how things will turn out, or you want to feel a little more polite in letting them down. Tell them, i may have a baby at that point or I may still be pregnant, I may be really tired. Ill try to come but if I dont I hope you understand. (If they dont, I feel bad for you for the type of people you are set with). Most people understand.

38 week Static Growth - Scan

I had my 38 week midwife appointment this afternoon at 38+4 and she said baby was engaged, their head deep in my pelvis (I was told baby had engaged at 36+4 also).

When measuring the bump it was measuring 38cm at 36+4 but today has stayed static and measured 38.2cm, going from 95th percentile to 60th I think she said. Midwife didn’t seem overly concerned and believed other symptoms suggested my body was getting ready for early labour and this may just be due to him moving down.

I’ve been referred for a scan at 5pm today, has anybody else had something similar? Did it result in a change to your birth plan at this stage?

Cervical checks?

Im pregnant with my first and I just went to my 37 week appointment. My pregnancy has been a healthy one but I did share some concerns I was having. She just brushed them off. Is it odd that I haven’t had any internal exams or checks? Everybody around me is saying they should’ve checked and made sure I was okay

C-section 🌺

Soo ive just heard from my midwife who said Ive been provisionally booked in for my C-section on the 26th October I’ll be 39+5. Very happy to wait but this is my 3rd C-section so assumed it would be slightly earlier. Anyone in the same boat?🩷

Gifts for new mums!

My best friend is expecting her first child after being told she was infertile and trying for years and I am SO SO happy for her!

I want to try and support her as best as possible and really show up for her as she was always so supportive during both my pregnancies despite her troubles!

What is things you would’ve loved/needed late pregnant/early postpartum? Planning on doing her a large hamper for her and a separate one for her baby 🤍

Any advice helpful 🩷🩷

We have another little girly due in March and we're really struggling with finding a name. Our first little girl is called Pashey (Pay-shee) so would like something quite unique to match hers. Please help 😂
