Hello ladies, I saw my midwife at 24 weeks who told me I needed to head to the hospital for my 28 week bloods. I haven’t heard anything about this? Is this something other people had? Should I be chasing the hospital?
I’m 27 weeks today and have my 28 week midwife appointment next Wednesday, I googled what my bump size should be measuring at and it says 25-28cm, I just measured mine and I’m like 40cm!!

FTM here, having some cramping type pains that feel different to my usual braxton hicks and pain in my back Just wanting to know if what I’m feeling correlates with contractions!!

Had my first sweep this afternoon. I was 2cm dilated before the mw conducted it - trying to avoid an induction on Sunday. I’ve had non stop cramping since. Any recommendations to try and start labour?😞
Any one else 32 weeks and baby is breech? Any advice to help get this little baby turning would be appreciated, I really don’t want a c section so she needs to be head down by my 36 weeks scan and I’m 32+3 😩
If you have been induced, how long did it take for baby to come?
so we did our 3d ultrasound and decided to do an 8K as well, was wondering if this looked like the 3D. (will post pictures in comments, also picture of me and dad) who does she favor more?
