Iām pretty sure Iām contracting they are about 10mins apart at the moment last 30/40 secs. I am booked in for an elective C-section on Tuesday. I have said if she was to come before this date I will try and labour. My waters have not broke so I guess it could be a while still rightā¦ second pregnancy and tbh I have h...
Any other mamas due 10/10? Have you had a cervical check? If so, is baby ready or you donāt see labor happening any time soon?
How did you guys handle the pain and uncomfortable feeling? One side is more sharp feeling and it is so sore! They said itās Normal as itās fresh wound and stitches etc, but trying to walk is WORKš«£ What have you done to help ease it more? Iām not sure what pain pills Iām being sent home with yet but so far Iāveā¦
I had a healthy pregnancy and planned for a natural birth but ended up having an emergency c section. Recovery was like the following: - First few days were horrible. I had so much pain in my belly that i couldnāt breastfeed as baby weight on my belly would hurt - Horrible gas pain and no bowel movement for 4 day...

My due date is coming up this week right. Now unfortunately my boyfriend has to leave far to work this week. If I start labor this week, would I be able to drive myself to the hospital or no ? Have any of yāall done that ? Because I know they say you will need a ride because of the pain. Sadly, I will be alone so Iā...
My husband and I are having a discussion about which is more difficult/ painful vaginal or C-section birth and Iām curious for moms who have maybe experienced both what your thoughts are or just in general what you hear We are not discrediting any form of birth btw just very curious as despite having no experience...
What's the best creams to use on cesarean scar? I've been given a barrier cream to help the soreness around the area but it doesn't seem to be working.
Iām at 33w and still donāt know how contractions feels like. Worry that I wonāt know if Iām in labor or just the usual pain (lower back, cramping) that I usually have.
Iām 40 weeks and have no signs of labour! I was 3 weeks early with my first girl so it really feels like this pregnancy is dragging. If you went over your due date I would love to know your labour story and how it started. Did you have signs or just randomly start getting contractions?
Iāll be 4 weeks pp on Tuesday and Iām still experiencing vaginal bleeding. I was just wondering how long the bleeding usually lasts and if I should call my doctor if my experience is abnormal. Thanks!
My doc told me I'll likely be induced at 39 weeks, which is in a couple weeks, but not entirely sure how it'll go down. I'd love to hear about your experiences.
Has anyone done a membrane sweep then gotten induced ?
If you had to be induced at what gestation were you induced? I lost my baby at 39+2 so Iāve been told this time Iāll be induced before then but I obviously havenāt been given a date yet as Iām only 20w? The consultant said it will probably be around 38 but Iāve heard you can be induced at 37 they just donāt really l...
My husband will miss the birth of our daughter and itās killing me :( Iām getting induced Wednesday and my mother wonāt be in town until Saturday so he has to be at home with our toddler the entire time because we donāt have any family or friends nearby. My last induction took 2 days just to end up in a c section an...
