So I got checked today a few hours ago and I'm 50% effaced and 1 cm dilated. I tried a warm shower a warm bath they gave my Tylenol but my back won't stop hurting. I also have a heating pad and not even that helps. How soon could I possibly go into labor? These contractions hurt so bad I want to cry.
Opinions and experience sharing is very much appreciated

Okay guys , so i had my first son when i was 18 i really didnāt know anything about packing hospital bags and things like that. I used everything the hospital gave me and was very uncomfortable in the gown with my butt outā¦ Soooo now (12 years laterš¤£)since im pregnant with baby girl and that time is approaching,ā¦
I feel like no one really talks about it, as i didnāt know. On Sunday, my water broke but i didnāt know. Everyone told me i would know, but i didnt. It was a very slow trickle throughout the day. I went in and they told me they could feel his water sac, but they will run a test just in case, and it was positive. I w...
We started trying but definitely didnāt think we were going to get pregnant first try. Now iām due 1 day before my first borns 2nd birthdayā¦ Anyone else have 2 June babies? I am worried itās going to be hard on them having birthdays so close togetherā¦ I also donāt want to be stuck in a hospital on my daughters first...
Large pieces of mucus plug been coming out all day has this happened to anyone else before ?
Itās been 4 weeks. Had c-section. Incision hidden under belly flap. Wash it gently with mild soap and water which Dr said was ok. I canāt really see it well myself but husband said it looks good. Try my best to keep it dry but it does get moisture sometimes. Issue is it has a funky smell and I donāt know why. Anyone...
Has anyone else found their colostrum is quite pale in colour? Not worried just curious as all the posts Iāve seen it looks really yellow/thick whereas mine seems more pale and watery. Havenāt managed to collect any yet as the quantity is so small and the syringe doesnāt seem to suck it up but reassuring to get ...
Did anyone give birth in this hospital?? I had my first in Jamaica hospital & the experience wasnāt horrible I liked it but my new OB is in LIJ i just wanted to hear some of yall stories im having a c section btw
I am 39+3 (due date 16th) and my night time movements have become so much more palpable and the lightning crotch is non stop. Anyone feeling the same? I didnāt lose mucus plug, was told cervix is closed 2 days ago but tonight itās feeling super intense whichever position I am in!
Hello, just looking for some advice. Iām 33+6. Had a growth scan and baby 90th percentile. I have been told due to high blood pressure and BMI they wonāt let me go over 40 weeks. Likely to offered induction at 39weeks which 50% could end up in c-section. Also been advised I can have an elective c-section. Is anyone ...
Iāve been doing some reflecting this evening, I had an assisted delivery with forceps and baby was totally healthy but I was discharged within 24 hours. What was everyone elseās experience if you had a straightforward delivery and no issues? How quickly did you get home?
How much colostrum do we need to take to the hospital when we are to go in? Have been collecting on and off for a few days and just want to make sure I have enough
I was wondering if anyone has requested an induction on their due date and actually had it happen? My family are here from Italy when he's due and over Christmas. I was wondering if they'd actually induce me for then
So Iām being induced on Wednesday. But if I can Iād like to get things started naturally. Any tips to kickstart labour that actually work? I donāt want to hurt myself by eating loads of sriracha if itās not gonna do anything š
Do anybody have an easier way to count contractions? I use a pregnancy app on my phone but by the time I get my phone unlocked and find the app and go to the contraction part, itās almost over.
Has anyone got their baby boy circumcised? How did it go and how was the recovery? Not looking for anyone to pass judgement
How long is it taking you all to go for a poo after a section? Iām sure it was 6 days with my first it took me but I donāt know how long it is until you have to start worrying š« I donāt actually need one yet I think the codine is making me constipated! But Iām day 5 and still no sign
So I have a high cervix at 39 weeks plus 1 , does this mean Iām far away from Labour š„²
