Loud music

Went to an event last night for 45 minutes and the music was really really loud, like night club loud. I've been several times before and it hadn't ever been this loud, they'd cranked the volume up for some reason this time. Been worried ever since about it possibly damaging the baby's hearing, like my ears hurt, I ...

Big baby anxiety

Okay ladies how are we keeping our minds at ease after being told your baby is huge!? This is my second baby BUT my first was born 5lb12oz at 40+3 (17th percentile) This pregnancy at 37 weeks on the dot I’m measuring at 38+6 🫣 threatening to have over a 10lb baby by 40 weeks and I’m terrified to say the least.

Is it just me

Is it just me or does it irk you when someone says they are pregnant for 10 months. Do they not know how a calendar works? Each month isn’t exactly 4 weeks, therefore you’re not pregnant for 10 months.

Disappointed

I’m 40 weeks today and had an appointment with my midwife. She checked and told me I’m 0 cm dilated, and my cervix is completely closed and tight. I’m feeling so exhausted, tired, and a bit defeated and sad. Please share any positive experiences or reassurance about how this phase will come to an end.
