Hi Madeline, Good luck for Monday you have done so well to get this far! Looks like I will also be induced at 37 weeks - made it to 38 weeks with first and that experience was very successful! With my first after being induced I went for lots of walks around hospital and bounced on my ball -...

No experience with reduced movement but just wanted to wish you all the best! Hopefully they can keep baby cooking for a few more weeks! xxx

Perfectly normal baby is taking up all the space! You’ll prob find you struggle to eat much now until baby drops right near the end! x
