Anyone waiting for spontaneous labour with no interventions?

Currently 41+1 and still waiting for my LG. Is anyone still waiting for spontaneous labour. The uncertainty is making me so anxious. I want to meet her so bad but I’m trying to avoid any intervention as I did intervene with my first and ended up with an emergency c section. Looking for positive stories and others on the same path. 😊🥰❤️

Exactly the same! I’m 40+2 today and just hoping so much she’ll come when she’s ready. I’ve decided to try a sweep next week and have agreed to monitoring at 41 weeks, but will be refusing other interventions until 42 weeks. I’ve refused extra scans too 🙈 just don’t want to talk to any consultant this time around haha wishing you all the best!

@Kristen Ha, yesss! I have my next appointment on Saturday at 41+6 and I’m so thankful I don’t have to see anyone til then! Baby girl moves really well so she’s pretty happy in there but I do feel every time I go for a checkup they’re gonna scare me into doing something as I did with my first. 🫣 Hoping for a prompt and easy delivery for the both of us! ❤️

40+3 and still waiting. My first came 41+5 so not that surprised. I'll decline any interventions before 42 weeks unless theres a medical need as I did with my first and he came naturally. Hope all goes well for you ☺️

Yep! 40wks today and waiting until baby girl is ready unless it becomes unsafe to do so.

40+6 today but booked in for a c section tomorrow due to baby measuring 97th percentile. I’ve come in for pre op and they’ve monitored me to say I’m contracting every 7 mins and 3cm dilated but I’ve felt cramps for days so can’t imagine it will happen over night

I'm 40+4 today and waiting! I have opted to have a sweep tomorrow morning though but would like to avoid a full on induction if possible🤗

@Sam My first was born at 41+5 too but after a sweep and ending up in a c section after two days of labour. 😞 This time around I’m not taking any intervention but getting anxious about the 42 week mark and peer pressure from family. 🫣

@Melissa She’ll be here soon enough! 🥰🥰🥰🥰

@Marina I’m keeping you in my thoughts, I hope everything goes right regardless of what happens tonight. Safe delivery and enjoy your new baby!! ❤️❤️❤️

I was in the same boat, baby came spontaneously at 41+4 no interventions at all didn’t even try to do anything to help bring on labour, try hang on hopefully won’t be much longer for you! 🥰

41+1 today and getting anxious. Have an appointment at 41+3 but refused a sweep once already. Fingers crossed all goes natural.

@Bekah It’s so hard waiting for something to happen, but you are right I will hang in there. 😊

@Angelina Kaschieva It will, I keep telling myself women don’t stay pregnant forever. But it’s so hard when nearing those 42 weeks. 🫣

I gave birth at exactly 41 weeks and waited for spontaneous labour- so didn’t have a sweep or anything and it did happen!
