I had a sweep done today at 1.30 and was already 2cm dilated, cervix was soft and baby was engaged. I’ve lost my bloody show and getting cramps but nothing too intense yet. Does this all look like good signs that it’s worked or does this happen regardless just due to the sweep? Thanks x

Due to over 99 percentile baby at scan today, high blood pressure and increased amniotic fluid, I've had my c section brought forward by 2 weeks. Found out today and it's going to be on Friday when I'm 38 weeks pregnant! I'm now half relieved that this experience will be over and excited to meet baby, but also sli...

We’ve been breech the entire pregnancy. I’ve just been to my pre-op today and the baby is head down. I was told there was only a 3% chance of this happening. Has this happened to any one else ? What did you do? The hospital said still come in as scheduled tomorrow they will scan me again and she might of moved agai...

Hey Ladies! I’m really confused I’m just looking for some advice. I’m 36 weeks 5 days and last night around 9pm I started with really painful tightenings I ended up going to the hospital they examined me and said I was 2cm dilated and my cervix was still a way to go I got home around 2.30am had some rest and nothin...

What’s everyone’s baby weighing? I’m 33 weeks and 4 days and the hospital has me worried that something is wrong. I know my baby is on the smaller side, but they are saying everything is okay. I’ve had scan the last few weeks checking babies growth, the placenta and the fluid around baby. At 30 weeks baby was 2lb ...

My second born baby Malachi was born 03/24 weighing 7lbs 6oz. Labor was only 5 hours long he came super fast lol I didn't even have time to get any pain relief. Whew, I won't be doing this for a 3rd time. Now he's 9 days old and is 8lbs 6oz and is so handsome 😍

What are everyone’s girl’s names? Need some inspiration!

Hi everyone, a bit random but just wondering if people have had their nesting instinct kick in? I’m 37 weeks and don’t feel like I have it… that’s not to say our house is a tip or anything 😂 but I don’t feel an ‘urge’ to clean and tidy but do it because I have to. The only thing I’m obsessed with at the moment…

I don’t have gestational diabetes and they said that’s usually the reason?? I then had to have my blood pressure monitored as it showed quite high. Has anyone else been told baby has got a large stomach? This worries me alot.

Pregnancy isn’t an April Fools joke and you’re a lowlife if u think it is I had to block so many people yesterday cuz they think shi is funny there are woman who lost their babies or can’t get pregnant so to joke bout pregnancy is wild karma is like a hula hoop eat ts u get when the tables turn

How long did it take for you to be contacted with a date for an induction please??

Can anyone tell me how to get this baby out?! lol I am due April 4th and have been 1cm dilated and 75% effaced since March 24. I am so uncomfortable and ready for him to come out! My next OB appointment is April 10th and she said we would do a membrane sweep if he wasn’t born by then. I’ve been walking, using the pr...

My little one is currently 9 months, and just found out baby number 2 is on the way (still early days) does anyone else have 2 so close in age will be 18 months between them, can someone tell me I’m not crazy for having 2 so close 🙈

Does anyone get a pain feeling up there sides when lying down or even sitting like really uncomfortable feeling just wondering if there is anything that will help this as at night when trying sleep?

I’m 3 months post emergency c section and just took an ovulation test for “science”! It looks very positive - does this mean I can expect my first period soon or can you ovulate without having a period?

36 weeks and baby keeps flipping between breech and head down. Any ideas on how to keep them head down 😂 otherwise we’re booked in for an ECV.
