Ok ladies so what do I expect at my 38 wks midwife appointment? Usual stuff? Some people have said an examination? I.e. check cervix etc
I really don’t know I did originally, as I went into labour bang on 37 weeks with my son, I’ve had a couple of niggles the last few days but I think she’s just too comfy in there haha. What about you? Xx
@jennyrodd88 How're you feeling? I know no one's knows when they're going to go into labour but do you think you will go before? Xx
Yeah 40 weeks is my next one. If I haven’t gone by then 🤞🏼😫 xx
@jennyrodd88 oh when's your next app 40 wks? Xx
@pearce5443, no she mentioned doing it at my next appointment but I don’t think I want one 😂🙈 x
@jennyrodd88 Ah fair enough, did you request a sweep? Xx
I had mine today was just a quick one, blood pressure, mentioning a sweep etc x
Same old stuff, although you can ask for a sweep now and maybe schedule on in if you're so inclined.
@charlotte_eve94 ahhh ok....thanks 😁 xxx
I had mine today just the same old stuff and talking about signs of labour etc they may talk about an induction date and stuff if you haven't spoken about it already x
@zoe.d84 Yeah i was sure I didn't have it with my first as well. Xx
@pearce5443, that’s something they do in America but never known it here unless in labour like others have said I never had it with my girls x
@mummyto2boys Yeah that's what I thought, maybe the person who said it to me was in suspected labour 🤷♀️ who knows xxx
They wouldn't check, unless they think your in labour or whatever, think it's something to do with chance of getting infection if they keep checking and stuff xx
@jodienbrad That's what I thought 🤷♀️, I wondered why they would check lol x
Never known anyone ever have a cervical check in the UK unless in labour or suspected labour. Not sure about what happens now as my youngest is 5 but I think its just the same as the rest of the checks x
@jennyrodd88 I don't know whether it's just wishful thinking but I don't think I will make it to my due date xxx
