Labor & Birth

When are people going to be trying to induce labour naturally? I’m 36 weeks and 4 day baby’s just over 6lb already! I’m not planning on trying just yet maybe in another week or so but just seeing when others are planning to try get things going!? I’m so eager to get baby out! Nothing fits me and constantly living...

Aside from the regret of choosing to do a c-section, I’m 3.5 weeks PP and still feeling pain in that area. I feel like I’ve seen so many people say they recovered by now, online. Wondering when the pain will go away for me or if anyone has experienced pain longer than me.. It feels so depressing…

About to get ready for a C-Section. My inductions failed so we are now going for this option. I'm so nervous and need some positive stories💙

Hi ladies! Can I ask what were your first signs (if any) of labour please? If your waters went did you get a little feeling down there before or did they just fall out of you haha. I’m 37 weeks today and hope he comes a little earlier than 40 weeks 🤪

I’m 39 weeks and I’ve not lost any plus I’ve not had much increase in discharge. It’s making me think baby is going to be late! I even forced myself to have sex last night to try and make something happen but nope 🤣

Would you choose a medical induction or opt for c-section if overdue? For those who had a medical induction did you get an epidural or were you still able to manage surges without it?

Is this my mucus plug? Or is the amount too little

I’m 38 weeks with my third baby and sick of being stuck in the limbo of false labour. I’ve had contractions on and off for 3 days now had a small show yesterday and nothing totoday. I’m tired and fed up as much as being able to grow this baby is a blessing I am DONE.

Did you call triage when you lost your plug and waters started leaking? Lost plug yesterday morning and feel like I’m starting to leak but it’s not a lot.

Hello, Had an early labour scare in Monday (luckily everything is fine) but had a swab done during my hospital visit. A midwife called this morning and said I have GBS (Group B Strep) and if I go into labour or waters break I need to have antibiotics for the baby. Anyone else experienced this?

I saw a post recently about a lady’s waters breaking ever so slightly and now she is due really soon and doctors confirmed this. I just wanted to know ,how do you know when your waters have gone? I feel like this may be a bit of a silly question but now I’m panicking a bit. I went to the bathroom yesterday and pee’...

I’m 38+2 weeks Woke up 3.30am last night with the most HORRIFIC painful dull cramps and I was sick. Every so often I’d have a sharp pain that only lasted a minute or so. I haven’t lost my plug or waters broken yet. Went loo this morning and it was like water. Lower back and stomach are really painful but I h...

Bit of back story- my first was an emergency c-section life or death situation for me and him which has caused a lot of health anxiety for me now due to him being so poorly at first with a NICU stay. Fast forward 2 and half years and Ive just had my second baby with an elective c-section. It was the most dream like...

I need to make a decision soon I'm 38 weeks. I had shoulder dystocia with my son luckily he was got out very quickly with a manoeuvre but they say they can't predict and can't prevent it. This baby is probably gonna be the same weight or slightly bigger going by scans. I have had 2 normal vaginal delivery's and they...

For those out there who need to hear a positive PPROM story. My waters broke at 23+5, it was a terrifying time and we told there was a high chance he could be born in the next 2 days, and be born with serious complications, after the 2 days passed we were told were still at risk of him coming any day and him being ...

Please lend me your thoughts!
