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!

Had a sweep with my 2nd on Thurs morning baby was born Saturday morning. 🤞🤞
Thing is with sweeps they are so close to due date anyway, you wouldn't really know if it was the reason or just naturally came on that's what midwife told me
had a sweep on Thursday, started feeling sporadic contractions that night. babygirl was born 4 days later 🫶🏻
I had a sweep on May 30th 2023 with my first and he was here on the 31st
With my second I had a sweep on December 26th 2025 and he was here on the 29th
I had a sweep at 40 weeks, she could feel baby’s head I was 1-2cm dialated and my cervix was shortening, I had also been having contractions for 2 days before my sweep after having the sweep (I had it at 2pm) I lost my mucus plug a couple hours later, had some dinner and then tried to sleep but contractions got worse and worse and then I had her at 8:58am the next day
Had my sweep on a Wednesday and had baby on Friday 🤞🤞 xx

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 💀
