I was over by a week. Ryan air cut off date is 28 weeks, my midwife did a fit to fly for me. When we flew out I had a massive coat on as it was the middle of the night and freezing, and they never noticed my tummy, but on the way back it was boiling in airport and I couldn't hide my tummy and they questioned me and asked for certificate. I think there may be different dates for different airlines

I'm being induced at 37 weeks as baby very large and I have cholestasis. The last 3 days I've had severe pelvic girdle pain and sciatica. I also have a prolapsed disc, can barely walk. I asked to be induced at 36 weeks as I just can't take anymore between the itching, pain and no sleep. They refused, but said 37 weeks is classed as full term, so they will probably let you
I'm 35 weeks and baby measuring over 7lbs! My babies have always been tiny so I'm feeling it this time. The pressure as he is already engaged in absolutely killing my back, groin, buttocks and pressing on sciatic nerve radiating down my leg. I have a prolapsed disc in lumbar region so this pregnancy is not helpingIt’s honestly brutal. Don’t get me wrong I’m grateful I’m able to have another baby as there was a time we didn’t think it would ever happen once, let alone twice but I literally cannot do it anymore. Had a scan 2 weeks ago and I’m carrying a 96th centile baby who was over 7lb still with another 5 weeks to go. The weight at the front is just pulling on my back and I just need to lie flat and take shitloads of painkillers, neither of which I can currently do
I just don’t know what to do for the best - do I ask for early delivery which will benefit me but potentially not baby or do I just stick it out not sleeping, on crutches and crying in pain everyday to know my baby is getting everything they need until 39+3? The thought of another 17 days of this genuinely makes me want to cry (more than I have already!)
I feel ya. This one is estimated to be 9lb 6 ish and I’m still on crutches and not sleeping. Went to be assessed at triage on Monday and they’ll only bring my section forwards as far as 38+2 so I’ve said I may as well wait until my actual planned date (39+3) rather than have the additional hassle of having to rearrange childcare etc. I’ve said to my husband don’t expect me to do this again
I thought maybe we’d be lucky enough to have 3 but I think 2 is going to be the magic number 
Thank you for replying. I asked my midwife today and she said because I am being seen by a consultant my GP will not write one for me and she said hospitals have not provided fit to fly certificates since Covid. She said I’ll have to go to a private Doctor.
Just need to rant on here because I feel so overwhelmed!
had a really busy day on Tuesday, definitely overdid it, and didn’t notice baby’s movements as much so had a bath and tried to focus on them. Throughout the night I had enough movements to make me feel like I didn’t need to drag my husband out of bed/sort childcare for our toddler so I could go into hospital, but not enough to totally ease my anxiety, so monitored again in the morning and movements were definitely reduced. Went into triage, as always all was fine while on the monitor, but my tightenings were showing up on the POCO scale, averaging 30-50, but sometimes up to 75 which they didn’t say anything about. Got sent home and told to return for a growth scan in the afternoon.
we’ve been having growth scans anyway because baby is measuring small, but this time the sonographer immediately said ‘oh wow, this is a BIG baby’, plotted him on my chart and he’s above the 97th percentile, which is considered excessive growth considering his first measurement was below the 1st percentile. So now I’ve got to have the GTT, but I’ll be 36 weeks by the time I have my appointment! And I was hoping to go for a VBAC but now I’m doubting myself.

That's weird if baby had been measuring small. There's up to 15% overestimate in scanner, so could be in the 80% range. GTT sounds in order to check anyways.
I'm 22 weeks now and have been feeling the baby moving the last few weeks but today barely felt her and tried all the tricks to get her moving this evening and nothing works. I am not sure whether to call the midwives though as I know it's still early and probably just the position she's in. They did say I would start to notice a pattern from 24 weeks, so I don't want to waste anyone's time but also anxiety is in overdrive!
I Called triage in a similar position when I was about 23 weeks and although they couldn’t put the monitor on me as too early they did get me in right away to listen to the heartbeat with a Doppler to give me some reassurance - don’t feel like you are wasting anyone’s time!
Thank you! Literally after I posted this I did feel a movement just going to continue to monitor and will call them if the movements don't continue etc!
You can block phrases like baby loss, miscarriage, still born etc. I’ve also blocked things like childhood cancer, medical mom , terminal illness etc. I’m not uncaring, I just don’t have the mental bandwidth to deal with the anxiety it induces.This has been discussed before but for the love of god WHY does instagram insist on showing me stillbirth reels?!? (And miscarriage ones back in the 1st trimester while I was experiencing bleeding after my last pregnancy ended in miscarriage)
This morning’s one being weirdly specific, a woman who has 3 boys, pregnant with a girl who was then still born at 38 weeks. Guess who’s 38 weeks today with a girl after 3 boys…nice one insta
Good luck! for the GTT - some people say that the solution they give you tastes horrible, but in my experience it was fine. Sitting around is a bit boring, but it’s 2 hours of peace and quiet which you’re not going to get in a few weeks time!

Question for the mama's with older kiddos... How do you avoid toddlers kicking the bump? Like is it just a case of dodging/blocking and explaining? Or does it even overly matter? 
For context I'm 24 weeks and my toddler (2 years 2 months) kicks my bump a fair bit 
. It's never out of malice, just during nappy changes messing or swimming etc. I do try explain but I think it goes over his head
