Good luck momma!! Praying you have a successful induction!! I’m 40w+4d, it’s exhausting! My little girl is determined to stay put as well! I go tomorrow to see what my options are! Last week she was too high for anytype of sweep or induction.

Dr reccomended Misoprostol to ramp up contractions, it definitely worked, baby was moving lots, then aftr a couple hours it slowes down, getting another dose in an hour, trying to get some rest now

After. 5-6 hrs im dilated 4cm, administered another dose of misoprostan, after that let my body do the work,if it slows down, they will administer pitocin

Was going to be taken off baby monitor but dr said im now in beginning stages of starting to labor at 2:50AM

At 4:00am contractions ramping up. More intense. Breathing deeply through.

At 7AM contractions ramped up and i was shaking, feeling weak, couldnt sleep, was still 4cm. I asked for epidural and waterbreak. So glad for epidural.

At waterbreak, i was 5cm, 2-3 hours later still 5, now on pitocin drip.

Should I be worried

Hey mamas,

The top layer fell off last night and my midwife also said any loose ends I can cut off. I just now saw the spottings in certain areas. Should I be worried?

Pain here at top of bump / ribs (35w, 3d)

Has anyone else experienced pain in this area when sitting and laying on your side.

Feels like a sharp stabbing / pulling and gets worse the longer you’re in that position.

Baby is head down

Thanks! 🙏🏼

Baby pushing against tummy

Hi everyone. I’m a first time mama expecting my rainbow baby girl on Christmas Day. I’m currently 33.5 weeks.

The last four or five days I’ve found my tummy feels really uncomfortable and not like it did previously. It feels like baby is pushing or leaning back against the front of my tummy all of the time, so one side feels really full and distended. She’s kicking and moving fine, but I don’t know whether this is just a result of her getting bigger and so feels new, or something else?

Bleeding - 23 weeks!

Hi everyone,

I’m hoping to hear from anyone who’s experienced something similar because it’s really frightened me.

I’m currently 23 weeks pregnant and was admitted to hospital after having some fresh red bleeding. It wasn’t a huge amount, but it was definitely more than just a tiny spot. I had all the checks done, stayed in hospital for 24 hours, and thankfully everything with baby was reassuring, so I was discharged.

Since coming home, I’ve had a little more bleeding (just small amounts), which has made me really anxious. The doctors couldn’t tell me exactly what caused it, and all they could say was that sometimes they never find a definite reason.

Has anyone else had unexplained bleeding this late in pregnancy and gone on to have a healthy pregnancy? Did the bleeding eventually stop, or did it come and go? I’d really appreciate hearing your experiences because I’m feeling so worried at the moment. ❤️

39 week growth scan showing abnormal results

Just been for my last growth scan and now very concerned.

Estimated fetal weight puts baby at 86 percentile

But stomach is 97% and so is femur (thigh bone) at 97%

They’ve said they think my baby is 8lb 12oz already, my last baby was 7lb 6oz

Scared I have potentially 3 weeks left to go 💀

Sweep stories?

I’ve just had a sweep at 38 + 5 days and she said I was 1-2cm dilated and could feel babies head but my cervix is still quite thick? Can I hear any outcomes of sweeps please! I’m due to be induced Friday but just desperate to go into labour naturally before then!
