I’m 39 weeks right now and having my second due May 1st but I’m actually considering getting scheduled for induction but I only hear negative experiences so I want to check in if anyone has a positive experience?
Hey guys, I had my second child 4 months ago and took this test this morning… we are not trying but did have a slip up not long ago… we’re EBF and emergency contraceptive is recommended to pause BF for 8-24 hours after taking (which I didn’t know!!). I would absolutely love another baby, but starting to panic as my ...
Is there anything I need to ask the doctor/midwife for to help prevent a second premature birth once I fall pregnant with baby number 2?
I’m 15 weeks and I noticed I lost a little bit of my mucus plug. Is that normal or is it something I need to be worried about?
Hey! Third time mum here, I had an emergency c section with my first and a planned section with my second but this time round really open to options.. anyone had experience of a VBAC after 3 sections- im not sure whether it will get approved by the OB or if I can push for it??
Hey girlies does anyone that had a C-section have a lump above the scar in the lower stomach??
Anyone else?! How are ppl spending their time when overdue? I know about all the things that can induce labour but I do think they will just come when they’re ready and not entirely sure all the things actually help. My toddler is at nursery today and I just don’t have much motivation to do anything really!
I am 39 weeks and 3 days and I haven’t had any signs of labour at all, has anyone use clary sage oil to bring on labour? Just not sure how safe it really is
Recently had an emergency Cat 1 C Section and have since had reoccurring nightmares/ flashback’s of the event. Has anyone else experienced similar and if so, how have you addressed this?! Thank you! Xx
Hey mamas, booked in for an induction tomorrow. I previously didn’t want to overpack my hospital bag but now thinking I’d much rather have more than less as I could be in for much longer. If you went through induction was there anything extra you took or wish you had taken? Thanks x
Still very pregnant!! I feel pressure in pelvic area on and off throughout the day but no Braxton hicks or contractions. I have my next appointment right before 41 weeks to discuss being induced. 😭😭😭
I’m not sure how to tell if I lost or am losing my mucus plug. I’ve had on and off discharge my entire pregnancy. I’m 37 weeks tomorrow. I’ve had so many contractions this past weekend and I’m not sure if I’m going to have this baby sooner than “expected”. I’m so ready for him to be out of me😅 Did anyone else…
Did your period become heavy after having a C section? Specially the very first one after having the baby?
I have one more week left and then I can start trying to induce myself. Wondering how anyone else has brought on labor naturally? My first baby, she came at 31 weeks so this is my first full term pregnancy. They said I can start pumping next week too.
Is it normal to have trapped wind… even after 12 days of the c section?!
I’m 36 + 3 days. Had a c section with my first baby following a failed induction. I’ve seen the consultant twice now and following each appointment I’ve come out feeling really deflated and confused about what I should do. The consultant was very much pushing for a c section, it was blatant. And I questioned him abo...
Just curious. My water broke and my contractions needed to be induced.
Has anyone gotten services from Momdoc and if so what was your experience like?
Has anyone delivered at Mercy Gilbert? My cousins have and they enjoyed their experience, I just haven’t been able to go in person for a tour. Is it really necessary to tour before hand? I did the virtual tour and my cousins have told me where I would go. My husband and I work different schedules and the hospital do...
Hi all, I’m planning an elective c section and have my first birth choice appointment tomorrow. Just wondering if anyone has been through this already and can tell me what happens/ what the process is like. I’ve been warned that they may try to convince me to have a natural birth. I also have an Obstetric appointmen...
