I'm on my pregnancy notes aswell, but I have all my scan results, blood results etc on there x
 
Just out of curiosity when do you ladies pack your hospital bags? I do mine about 36-37 weeks. Just curious when you ladies do
 
Thankfully we have a decent lab system here to access all our test results online. It’s independent of the midwives, and then my GP has her own system where I can see my ultrasound results but it won’t load on my phone so I need to go on my computer.

@daniyaaq do you get any follow up on your scan this week? Does the mw call to talk at all?

@Mummy2Corban i will probably pack my
Hospital bag (although I’m planning a home birth you have to be prepared!) around 36 weeks. I know I will probably go to at least 39 so no point really other than being prepared and maybe keeping a bit busy haha.
 
Here’s the best thing about having babies in B.C. (other than it being totally free etc. ). Our midwives offer us membrane sweeps from 38 weeks onward if we’d like. With my 2nd I had a sweep at 38+4 and she was born 12 hrs later, and with my 3rd I had a sweep about 48 hrs before she was born. Don’t know if that one has anything to do with it. But I'll likely be 39+1 at my 39 week spot on the Monday and that’d be a great time for a sweep!! I think 38+1 is a tad bit early for my liking, which will likely be my previous appt.
 
Hi ladies…. Wow so many pages to catch up on. Amazing how many are expecting boys. I got my scan next week according to midwife but not actually had my letter yet. But can’t wait to find out what sex this one is.
Been feeling relatively well. Like few of you my sleep isn’t great, but it’s more like my body preparing for the night feeds lol. Baby has been moving around quite a bit too. Had a bit of braxton hicks yesterday couldn’t believe it, nothing too bad just noticeable.
Will be getting the sewing machine out soon and start making some baby clothes.
 
@Reiko_ctu when I had baby no.4 at home I had a pile of stuff in the crib so if needed DH could scoop it into a bag. As for sweeps where I am they won’t offer them until your overdue unless they are needed for a reason. I was turned down at 39+6 because I wasn’t 40 weeks. With baby no.5 I could have sweeps from about 38 weeks because they said he was big. I refused as it was too close to DD1s birthday so I left it till after.
 
@ciz exciting that you’ll soon know babies flavour! You make babies clothes? Ah please share some pictures of what you make! That’s amazing!

Yes I know a lot of places don’t offer them till you’re past 40 weeks. Not sure if it’s all of Canada but my mw group offer from
38 weeks on! It’s not a guarantee baby will come but for sure like your situation, if it wasn’t a good day that day or the next for baby to arrive I wouldn’t want one… just in case it works!
 
@Reiko_ctu im not to fussed about having a sweep. I had two with no.2 and after the second I went into labour. With no.5 I had a sweep and went into labour 3 days after.

You seem much more patient than me… at the end with my others I was so impatient to be done being pregnant lol! I think I will feel the same this time lol.
 
My midwife said she would publish the results and to give her credit she did straight away... but only the bloods *face palm*

@ciz those clothes are gourgeous!

I usually pack my bag about 30 weeks having gone into prelabour in a pregnancy before I know that packing a bag isn't stress I need Lol!

I'm having a repeat section, here on the UK if u have had a previous cesarean then u çan choose to have another, sometimes they try to push u towards a natural but overall it's down to us. I should be offered at 39 weeks unless I get icp again then could be slightly earlier x
