Haha fab thank you! Glad to know it's speedy, I'm hoping something happens before then but if not I'm up for seeing if it does anything! Did you have success after you had yours?
Haha fab thank you! Glad to know it's speedy, I'm hoping something happens before then but if not I'm up for seeing if it does anything! Did you have success after you had yours?I've had quite a few stretch and sweeps nowsome people say they're painful but I've never found them to be.
Sure it's uncomfortable but that's it.
It's usually over in less than a minute though
Nope. I've had 8 in total nowHaha fab thank you! Glad to know it's speedy, I'm hoping something happens before then but if not I'm up for seeing if it does anything! Did you have success after you had yours?
Oo interesting thank you! I won't hold my breath thenNope. I've had 8 in total nowalthough 2 of them they couldn't do much so they were only partial as my cervix was still to far back.
None worked though.
The chance of them working is very low.
Less than 20% of sweeps done after a due date work within 48 hours
From what I can tell, there's been a bunch of research going into them and people are starting to avoid them because they think that they only actually "work" if you were actually going to go into labour in the next few days anyway.Oo interesting thank you! I won't hold my breath thenx
I'm going to have a browse this evening online and do some research just so I'm fully clued up before going into it next weekFrom what I can tell, there's been a bunch of research going into them and people are starting to avoid them because they think that they only actually "work" if you were actually going to go into labour in the next few days anyway.
I haven't looked into it though
Only an emergency number to phone if she wasn't moving! Nothing like a general lineDo you have a number for the Maternity unit or anything? A helpline? They have access to your notes same as your midwife
I totally get you with the mother thing, I was dreading telling mine as knew her reaction would be shit. Waited until 20 weeks at Christmas. I told her and she couldn't stop going on about how she was so "disappointed", "I don't want to be a grandma", "why would you do that" (I am still bitter af about itI’m glad your dads reaction surprised you. I know my dad will be happy but my mother is difficult to say the least.: I like the ideas you suggested but tbh they’d not be good enough for her. She’d find a problem whether we did it in person or like that. She’s a very narcissistic person but that’s for another thread. I’m actually so scared to tell her it gives me anxiety even just thinking about it. my mil on the other hand lives at the top of Scotland and we’re in the Midlands. She lives alone so uses us as her “bubble” when restrictions allow. She’ll be happy.. but she can be suffocating at times. For example, we’re in the process of purchasing our first home.. she texts and calls my partner daily for an update on the process.which is why I want to hold back a while as I’m not sure I’m ready to deal with that just yet we’re hoping to tell her in person which gives us a bit of time as she often comes down to stay regularly (well she did before COVID). Super excited to tell my own gran though, she asks me everytime she calls if we’re still trying.. but her and my mother don’t get along and she’d be like a proud Great granny telling everyone but I know it would cause problems within the family if she knows before my mother. Which is a shame because I’d love her support at the minute but I know she can’t keep secrets Ah sorry for the rant. My family annoy me
I was told by the GP when I came off the pill that you can get pregnant straight away, so I don't see any reason not to if you're this much past when you were due. Good luck!!Advice please! Came off my pill January, got my first period March 31st, last 5 days. 31st April been and gone... do I risk a test (and the possible heartbreak)? Or would you stick it out and assume they’re going to be erratic for a few months? Partner and I did try on my high chance days in between.
I was on the mini pill and basically had a permanent period but got pregnant about 8 weeks after coming off it. Had one proper period I think. (After 4 years previously off it without a sniff of a positive)Advice please! Came off my pill January, got my first period March 31st, last 5 days. 31st April been and gone... do I risk a test (and the possible heartbreak)?

A close friend got pregnant straight after coming off the pill so it does happen! I would say take a test otherwise you’ll be wondering what if ..Advice please!

Let us know how you get on xThank you for the advice! Just realised I said 31st April...Ok I'll bite and do a test!
As @littlepup said, putting it off won't change the result.Thank you for the advice! Just realised I said 31st April...Ok I'll bite and do a test!
You cat is already imagining what's comingSo I ordered some tiny clothes on H&M and wanted to send a picture to my mom, because they're so adorable. The look on my cat's face thoughI'm howling, poor thing, it's gonna hit her like a truck!

I'm around 14/15 weeks now and still no visible bump. But I figure she'll show up soon enough, for now I'm happy I can still fit in my jeans
Good to know that lots of you also had no or only a tiny bump in the early weeks.
Not sure if I’m posting this in the right place but did anyone have high hcg levels but not pregnancy seen on ultrasound? Had to have a scan today for medical reasons and they can’t see a pregnancy. My levels are about 2500 and due to lmp I am 6 weeks. Epu said they’d expect to see something with my levels that high and basically to expect the worst. Have to have my bloods done again on Saturday to see what they’re doing and go from there. Didn’t know if anyone had the same happen to them and it turned out to be ok? Sorry if I’m posting in the wrong place, my heads all over the place with things looking less than hopeful
