Hi all, My midwife has discussed a possible need to be induced early (early April) or have a C-section as baby is measuring very large (and I am very small!). I know a few people who have been induced and all of them have said it was awful, not to do it, they regretted it etc. Just wondering if anyone had any p...

I’m sure it didn’t take this long with my first and I breastfed ...

I had my first baby in December 2023- now 14 months, I was induced and after three pretty traumatic days ended in an emergency c-section- which I was pretty devastated about. The whole experience was really traumatic for both me and my partner. I am due my second in August (2 under 2- God help me!! 😅) and am…

I had a membrane sweep yesterday. Was 1cm dilated and cervix forward and soft but still long. Since last night whenever I wipe I have tiny pink stained mucous spots. Is this a good sign things are getting going? 🤞 37+4 but have gestational hypertension so baby needs to come soon(ish).
