@Skl2021 i can vouch for changing milk from precious experience, it made the biggest difference for us. My daughter didn’t struggle much with her bowel movements when on it, we just made sure we did plenty of tummy massage & bicycle legs to keep things moving. Our first session was £60 and second was £50, they say you should only need 2 or 3 sessions depending on severity. Yeah Roman really enjoyed it, the first time I’ve seen him relax in the last 10ish days! Xxx

@speake1 we have changed it once already as I thought that was causing the problem. Might have to do it again if nothing changes. Yes I have been keeping him upright alot and doing the bicycle legs and winding him loads. That's not bad then if u only need a couple might have to look into that thankyou. X

Hi all, just to let you know I didn't need the sweep after all, my waters broke last night just after midnight and my boy arrived shortly after 4am after a rapid labour 😬 It all feels surreal 🥰

sunnyd67 · 16/11/2022 21:12

@Srx1 congratulations! Amazing news, I hope you and the baby are doing well xx

barneymcgroo · 16/11/2022 21:18

@Srx1 huge congratulations 🎉 lovely! @arianasky Hope u are doing ok? Xx

arianasky · 17/11/2022 07:34

@Skl2021 @calimc83 yep still here 😂 have my sweep booked for 12:30 but not too hopeful as I'm only 39+2 but still keeping everything crossed, I'm hoping I've at least started dilating a little ready for the induction Saturday 🙏🏻🤞🏻

Srx1 · 17/11/2022 07:39

Thank you everyone ☺️ we are doing well 🥰 @arianasky good luck!!!🍀🤞🏻

B1993 · 17/11/2022 07:55

@Srx1, wow! It sounds like your little guy made a very quick exit. I hope you're both doing well! 😊 Are you back home now?

B1993 · 17/11/2022 07:59

I'm nearing the end of the first trimester now @barneymcgroo! 😅 I have my 12 week scan booked for a week tomorrow so looking forwards to that but equal parts nervous too!

Can I ask a personal question to those who have had babies before? When did you get a bump? I feel like I've been huge since 4/5 weeks, which I know is just bloat. However, I feel like I constantly look bloated, even first thing in the morning so not sure if im just getting a very early bump!! I showed quickly with my first and had a small bump by 14 weeks!

speake1 · 17/11/2022 08:27

@Srx1 congratulations xxx

arianasky · 17/11/2022 13:23

Sweep done, I'm 1cm and cervix is anterior position so 🤞🏻 that that's a good start for the induction on Saturday xx

flowergarden16 · 17/11/2022 16:17

Congrats @Srx1 !!

And best of luck @arianasky won't be long now :-)

Skl2021 · 17/11/2022 19:12

@arianasky good luck hopefully u won't need induction 🤞🤞x

arianasky · 17/11/2022 22:01

@flowergarden16 @Skl2021 thank you both, I think I will need the induction tbh as nothing has happened since the sweep but I'm ok with it trying to look at it in a positive light 💙

Srx1 · 17/11/2022 23:39

@B1993 He sure did! From 0 to 100 in a very short time, did not expect that!😆 We got back home today!
Hope your scan goes great next week!🍀

Thanks again everyone and @arianasky, you never know-there's still time for things to get going 🤞🏻

B1993 · 18/11/2022 06:38

@Srx1 Great news that you're back home now 💙

Thank you! Really hoping everything is as it should be! 🤞🏻 We've had two early scans so far and they went well and we saw baby's heartbeat on both 💗🥰 so my fingers are firmly crossed that nothings changed since then. 🤞🏻

@arianasky Sorry there's not been much progress since your sweep but not long to go until your induction 😅 - how are you feeling?

arianasky · 18/11/2022 11:38

@Srx1 well I've had no real symptoms yet so have my mind focused on induction now x

@B1993 have everything crossed for your scan 🤞🏻🌈 I feel good thank you just a bit nervous/excited for the induction x

Prayingformyrainbow93 · 18/11/2022 22:18

@arianasky i ended up with an induction, I tried not to have any pain relief and really regret it. I did have an epidural in the end but I’m pretty sure I’d got most of the way without it. If I could give you any advice (which I will give myself if I have to go through that ever again) is to get the epidural at the offset!!!! Good luck for tomorrow xx

barneymcgroo · 19/11/2022 08:21

@arianasky Keepjng fingers crossed for you today, and hope you're not kept waiting around for too long. You're on the home straight now!
