40 weeks and still cooking

Hi there, I am at 39 weeks and 6 days and I am feeling a strong pressure to induce from my OB. However, there are no red flags to warrant in induction in my opinion. (OK yes advanced maternal age, but who isn’t these days? + velamentous cord insertion but baby is measuring in 90%)

At the end of they day the decision is yours it’s your body if you can handle the situation your in keep going.
As for my self I’ll be inducing at 39 weeks I’m exhausted.

I think you should ride it out especially if you plan on going natural

i had the same experience, went 42w with an induction, you can absolutely wait until you’re ready

I think it makes sense to ask why they feel so strongly about induction, and I know at about 41 weeks the placenta starts deteriorating so that's a factor to consider

I would hold off, but before 41 weeks. I am 39+6 and have been induced since monday night at 9pm... been hell lol

3.5 weeks postpartum should I be doing more?

My little boy is 3.5 weeks old and I feel like I’m still just getting through each day.

We manage to get out for a walk a day and I always make sure I get a shower in but I feel like I spend most of my time sat down at home watching TV and feeding/holding my little one, pretty much all of his naps are contact naps which I love but I feel so unproductive.

Should I be getting out more? Going to baby groups? Just wondering what others days looked like at 3/4 weeks and when you started making plans with your days.

Breech baby!

I’m 34 weeks and don’t feel there any sign of baby turning, I’ve been doing breech tilt and leaning off the sofa and I’m more concerned baby is wedged bum down in my pelvis and won’t be able to get out himself or he’s stuck in the cord(stupid I know) going to try the hot cold trick tonight and see what he does

Pregnancy dreams! Ladies tell me about it

Ok so Ive been having recurring similar bad dreams. And I read that sometimes you can have aggressive dreams about your spouse doing stupid things. So here's the question I have, what kind of strange dreams did you have about your partner while you were pregnant?
