Does anyone have any good stories about being induced around 37th weeks or just in...

Hi everyone, I’m currently 9 weeks pregnant and my anxiety is through the roof! I’ve been feeling nauseated for the past couple of days, however, now for the last day or two I feel completely fine. Is it normal to feel no symptoms at all, all of a sudden?

This might sounds crazy, but can doctors secretly give you hysterectomy during emergency c section?? I had emergency c section 20 months ago. I had lost so much blood as well. It was the worst recovery I’ve ever had. I didn’t know how to pee, i had to do bladder trail training with catheter, possible kidney infectio...

Does anyone know if they check & listen to the heartbeat in your 10week midwife booking appointment? I can’t remember from last time?

So I'm 20 weeks and 4 days today and had my anatomy scan for baby boy and he looks great and he was very active. I haven't gotten a ultrasound picture since I was 11 weeks and the difference in size is crazy. I'm so in love with him already and he has a little bit more time until he reaches earthside. I think I'm go...

I'm being induced at 37 weeks this Monday due to medical reasons. I'm sooo nervous!!!! I am ftm and I'm not sure what to expect. I definitely want the epidural but I'm not sure when to ask for it.
