Induced

I’m currently 40 weeks +3 days. I’m supposed to be getting an induction sweep tomorrow but I really feel like this is too early?! I understand that this isn’t compulsory but I was wondering if anyone has refused to be induced. If so, how far into your pregnancy were you?

I am 40+1 weeks. Healthy all throughout pregnancy and still absolutely no issues whatsoever. The only issue is that baby hasn’t come on the date that it has been given. They have booked my induction for next week but I did say I dont want it. I will be sticking to not having one when they ring to get me in as well. I am waiting until baby is ready. Nobody can force you. Stick to what you feel is right for you and your body 🩷

Thank you Stephanie & Freya💗
yes this has been a healthy pregnancy throughout. I will stick with my decision and refuse to be induced as it just doesn’t sit well with me to do it right now. Thanks again xx

Is it just a sweep theyve offered or full induction? I’m 39+3 I had a sweep yesterday which hasn’t worked but I’m gonna refuse induction til 41 weeks. It’s your choice do what works for you x

You dont have to have a sweep if you won't want one
My midwife attempted one at 40 weeks however my cervix was closed so couldn't be completed 100%

19wks

I had my anatomy scan today and found out I’m having a boy 🩵 would have been over the moon either way but I’ve been convinced for the past 2 months that it was a boy so it feels good to be right haha 🥹 anterior placenta so still not feeling many movements at this stage but he is ACTIVE! Wouldn’t stop moving and kicking at the scan 😅

Breech position

Hey everyone!
Had my 36 week scan today and found out baby is in breech position :( after some discussion, me and my husband decided to go for a planned c section. Anyone going through the same? X

Middle Name Inspiration

I have to register my baby in two weeks, but still haven’t decided on the middle name. Does anyone have any suggestions? I was thinking of giving her something of a biblical meaning. But I’m open to other types of names too (just something with a nice meaning) x

Early labour or BH?

FTM 39 weeks + 2. Last night I had waves of tightening across my belly with mild period and lower back pain. Lasted a couple of hours and came sporadicly but stopped around 4 am and not happened since. Could this be early labour or just BH? I know early labour can stop and start. Had lots of BH last few days but not with any pain. Also not noticed loss of my mucus plug but baby is low and engaged.

Induction

So I’m being induced one the 19th of November, I’ll be 39 weeks exactly and I just wanted to hear what others have experienced with being induced. I’m being induced for a raised bmi as per request by my midwife. Just would like to know others experience since this is my first baby.
