Heya!

40 weeks exactly today!

This last week I have been feeling extra exhausted and I get the lightning crotch now and again. The little one is kicking away and I feel like she has lowered down a lot more recently...

I am usually constipated (or close enough) so I am used to skipping a day or two with no shows but today I've had real painful urges to go poop and to cut a long story short, feeling good and empty for the first time in a while lol (sorry tmi)
But looking at labor sign lists its nothing like diarrhea or loose stools that is to look out for, just "easier" but i am not sure if this is because i am on iron tablets which make you constipated ?

Anyway, I have next to no discharge, and no other shows or signs ..... I have a midwife appointment tomorrow to talk about inducing which I am worried about...

So far i am considered low risk ( i could have had a better bmi to start with but its not in the high risk but still plays on my mind )

I just needed to vent to know that i may not be alone, i don't have any pregnant or mum friends to talk about this with and my mum isn't the best person to talk to for my mental health about this
