Anxiety!!
So I was admitted the other day for reduced movements, baby seems okay but was offered a sweep which I had, had some cramping since and currently 4cm dilated, already had induction booked for Wednesday but has been brought forward to tomorrow! Im at home at the moment
The plan is to just break my waters as there already buldging tomorrow! The thing is I am so so so so nervous! This evening I just cannot settle, I feel sick, my anxiety just feels so high! I’ve said all along I’m not scared of birth but now I’m petrified! This is my first pregnancy!
Any tips to calm my nerves or anyone’s experience with having there waters breaking or being nervous about birth! 🩷

Hey. I have been experiencing reduced movements too and was told that if they continue I will get induced at 39 weeks. But why did they induce you? How was the baby doing at ctg
@Fatima baby was doing fine, but I’m on my 3rd time with reduced movements, I’ve had bleeding during the pregnancy, and I have group strep b, they offered for my induction to be brought forward as was already planned for 39 weeks anyway 🩷
My first pregnancy I was told I was going to be induced and then my little one ended coming naturally and they had to break my waters right before birth, I couldn’t have asked for a better birth either! Try not to worry everything will be ok! x

I’ve not had my waters broken as my induction failed & ended up with a c section so I’d just recommend trying to relax & think positively about it all. I know that’s easier said than done but maybe try & watch something you enjoy or listen to some music to try relax before you go. The midwives will support you, wishing you all the best.
