Due date scaries
First pregnancy, I found myself counting weeks/ days obsessively up until my mat leave. Since I left work, I’ve not really kept track. Im due on the 15th low risk, and had a midwife appointment today where she scheduled an induction for the 22nd… which is next Sunday. I knew he had to come out but I think that has just made it dawn on me that it’s actually going to happen. In my head it was still ages away, a distant future possibility. Anyone else only just realising what child birth means this late in the game?

C-section vs vaginal birth
Can I hear from mummas who have had BOTH c-section and vaginal births and their experiences please? What was better in your experience and pros/cons please!
Currently 17 weeks pregnant with my 2nd. My first birth was a long induction (5 days in hospital total), actual birth was fine as I had an epidural but I ended up needing forceps and a large episiotomy which they stitched badly which caused a painful and long recovery. Due to being in hospital for 5 days and basically having no sleep, coupled with a bad recovery it’s really put me off doing another vaginal birth as I went into motherhood completely depleted. My midwife is fully supportive of me having a c-section this time if I want one but I’ve been doing research and I know this is not a walk in the park and is major surgery but definitely has positives for us in terms of being organised when we have a 5 year old, a dog and no support nearby.

My mucus plug came out yesterday. I went to my dr appointment and I was almost 2 cm dilated. 😲😬She said anything less than 2 not to worry. I’m low key freaking out.i have so much pressure in my pelvic area and i can barely walk 😩
Not to mention Braxton Hicks. She says people normally go into labor 2 weeks after losing it but my baby is also very large weighing 5 lbs at 28 weeks 😮💨. Any one with a similar experience or helpful tips to relieve pelvic pressure.

Period ache pain
Hey, I’m 32 +5 weeks and I’ve been getting this uncomfortable pain in my lower area. I would describe it similar to when you get a period and it’s just a constant dull pain. I wouldn’t call it cramps, just that uncomfortable feeling you get on your period. With some lightening crotch thrown in. Anyone else experiencing similar? I thought maybe it’s baby moving lower?
