Waters breaking.

I went to the toilet for a pee, while I was peeing I felt a slight pop and possibly a separate stream of water. Does this sound like my waters breaking? I’ve been having some back contractions and tightenings around my stomach over the last couple of days.

Counting kicks?

I never counted kicks all pregnancy and now I’m getting close to my due date I’m regretting not doing it. It says your supposed to get 10 kicks an hour which I certainly don’t think I feel… are you counting kicks and if so how many roughly an hour? I’m 34+4

Trying to induce labour

I’m 38+3 days and have already been booked in for a c-section on my due date! They won’t push my section any closer and frankly I can’t take being pregnant much longer with the hot weather, sleepless nights and inability to drink proper or eat proper. I’ve been told it’s safe to self induce but what can I actually d...

TW (gross), end of postpartum bleeding?

I'm nearly 4 weeks pp and instead of bleeding now I get this light brownish discharge. I still get the occasional blood looking bits, but nothing like it was at the beginning. Is it like the end of a period where the colour changes as you're finishing?

Am I close to labour?

I am 36 weeks and my mucus plug last week. My belly has dropped. I have also had braxton hicks for about 5 days now. Are these signs or am I just wishful thinking?🤞🏻🤣

at how many weeks did you lose your mucus plug?

37 weeks tomorrow and am wondering do you have to lose mucus plug before labor starts? or it can come out during labor?

Hospital or midwife led centre

Quick question ladies If your 37 weeks pregnant and you go into labour would you have to go hospital or the midwife led centre. Google tells me 37 weeks is full term but not sure where I would need to go. I want to give birth in midwife centre.

Baby shower?

Is it weird that I don’t really care to have a baby shower but I would like the gifts 😅 okay hear me out…. So I’m creating a baby registry and sending it to my friends and family. Who ever wants to bless my little man and I I’ll greatly appreciate…. But I really don’t see myself spending all that money in a baby…
