Dilation at 36-37 weeks of pregnancy

Hi. First-time mum. Today I had a check-up with my midwife – I'm currently 36 weeks and 5 days into my pregnancy. Terrible back and pelvic pain, period cramps. She said I was 2cm dilated. Is that normal/okay? How long after that did you give birth? 🩷😊

Eeeeeekkkk the pool is up, ready for my home birth!

36+5 feeling all the emotions. Let’s do this 💪🏻🥹

Anyone hear this?

I just had a doctor's appointment and it was fine im healthy and everything but then...my doctor called me fat. I mean I'm a bit overweight but not at much and she essentially told me that i was fat and i didn't wanna be obese when the baby is born cause ill "hate my body" i mean i get whats shes saying but its the way she said it that bothers me she made it sound like i was 400 pounds and i have no self control i just wanna know if anyone has ever had this happen

Little hospital scare at 30 weeks

Sorry about the long post... FTM at 30 weeks +5 days! I came in to hospital 3 days ago after light bleeding overnight. It seemed like brown discharge mostly but I wasn't sure if I missed anything overnight.
They did CTG, speculum and cervix scan, baby was all good, I had a tiny bit of fresh blood in my cervix but cervix seemed stable and closed.
They kept me in for monitoring and been here for the last 3 days due to the tiniest amounts of fresh blood appearing every 8-10 hours. There's no heavy bleeding, pads are not soaked through at all, but i need to have 24 hours with no fresh blood. They also ordered a growth scan to check on him and placenta. All good, besides the fact he's slightly on the bigger side, so now i've been referred to a sugar test to check pregnancy diabetes. All in all, they have not been able to tell what has caused the bleeding. I had a cervical polyp at 14 weeks but they didn't seem to mention it this time. Going home tomorrow but it's been a little stressful and my brain is finding it difficult to process the 'unknown reason' ... even though he's doing good and all tests have come back good as well.

Anyone experienced anything similar?

Ps - I am beyond grateful for all the midwives and OBs looking after me for the past few days in St Thomas 🥹

Crazy hormones

What is the most ridiculous thing that has made you emotional in your pregnancy? In both my pregnancies I’ve never cried harder then when I see my belly button has gone from an innie to an outie 🤣🤣

Pregnant Baby No.2

Hi! I found out i’m about 4 weeks & 5 days pregnant and I’m so nervous as I have a 11 month old and he is always trending on me where my womb is and worried about him doing something as well as having period cramps feel cramps so I’m just so nervous for this pregnancy. Just some advice for 2 under 2 and pregnancy with basically a 1 year old.

I think I’m pregnant 😬

I’m still not 100% sure! But it’s hard at the beginning with not telling anyone and having no one to talk to! Anyone had a positive test in the last week and be up for a chat? 🥰

Any tips?

Maternity pillows
