34w3d and had her at 36 weeks on the dot

I lost mine 37+6..had him 3 days later

I don’t think I ever lost mine. Maybe tiny pieces but only in amounts that make me think it was just discharge. But I also didn’t pass the membrane during labor and passed it over the first 3 weeks postpartum. I know some women lose theirs multiple times, and some women end up going into labor hours after losing it or weeks.

I started to loose mine 20 weeks onwards but it regenerates. Lost a chunk of it at 37 weeks after a cervical examination. Went into labour at 39 weeks

I lost mine the night I went into labour. Felt a trickle and then it went with my waters. My boy was born 10 hours later

I lost mine a week before my water broke, I had contractions that whole week. Felt like horrible period cramps. They were small contractions

Lost mine at 37 weeks . He came at 38 weeks

I gave birth the day after I lost my mucus plug, but I was induced, not sure if that makes a difference.

After my induction started in the hospital at 40 weeks x
I left my 28 week midwife appointment today feeling really down and alone. I’ve been referred for a growth scan as the bump/fundal measurement is below the 5th centile. The midwife said the measurement usually isn’t accurate and the scan should be reassuring, but it will be almost a week before I have it and I’m left wondering if there is something wrong and I’ve been told to look out for various symptoms (preeclampsia etc) in the meantime. I’ve asked to bring my perinatal mental health appt forward (I had PPD after a preterm birth with my first) as my mood has been really down recently and just left feeling really unsupported. I was told to go to A&E if I have suicidal thoughts in the meantime and that was that. Just looking for some reassurance and support really as I feel really lost and sad - has anyone else been referred for a growth scan and it’s been fine?

Hi everyone, I’m looking for some advice and to hear from other parents who may have experienced something similar.
My baby boy is 5 weeks old and I’ve noticed that he sometimes has jittery movements, where his whole body seems to jerk a few times. It doesn’t happen at any particular time or follow a specific pattern.
He also cries, strains and turns red in the face before having a bowel movement.
Has anyone else experienced this with their newborn? Is this kind of jitteriness normal at this age, or is it something I should be concerned about?
I’d really appreciate hearing about your experiences. Thank you! ❤️

Baby is measuring 3lbs 4oz which is >99th percentile. They scheduled repeat growth scan in 4 weeks. Anyone else experiencing this?
This is my 3rd baby and I’m taking my glucose test tomorrow. I passed the initial glucose test at 14 weeks. Never had GD with my other pregnancies. First baby they thought was going to be big had to do a bunch of extra scans and he came out 7lbs 3oz. Second baby was 8lbs 12oz but didn’t flag anything during routine scans.
