I had my 38 week midwife appointment today (I'm 38+5). I would have expected them to check if the baby is engaged at all, or if I'm at all dilating... But nothing. I have an appointment booked for 40+1 in case baby hasn't arrived by then but I just feel like I'm in the dark.

Okay so I had my first child with an emergency c section in 2023 June, and waiting for my body to completely heal to try for the second. However, I am nervous that health care will push me for a c section again. Has anyone had a doula and how has your experience been?

Mommies who conceived this cycle what did you do differently that you believe helped you concieve?

I keep seeing different answers
