How long after looosing your mucus plug did people go into labour?
I'm having a planned c section and have booked to be sterilised at the same time. I have been warned that if I go into labour beforehand and end up having c section earlier that they may/may not do the sterilisation etc. I get it's cause of time etc but intrigued if this has happened to anyone else and if you were s...
Our doula recommended this hospital. It is about 30mins away from our home, and we’ll need to go to an OB that’s also 35 mins away if we want to deliver here. Unfortunately their maternity tours are all booked up so we can’t visit in person, check out their vibes, or ask the nurses questions. Wondering if anyone h...
Hey all, trying to prepare myself ahead of my C Section next week, anyone have any suggestions or advise of things I should do/need to buy?

Anyone who has jad/have a c-section overhang/pouch. Has anyone managed to get rid of it and have before and after photos??
So, I have been talking to my husband about how we might want to not announce the birth to anyone for the first few days so we can just have the time to ourselves, not feel any pressures to tell people and have to respond to texts. I can also kinda see it that it might annoy people... So what does everyone else thi...

I’ve been contracting every 5mins since 4am this morning. I had a sweep at 3pm yesterday and started to get pain about two/ three hours after the sweep, with a bloody show and mucus which more then was coming out overnight. I’m just wondering if when I get roughly to the 12hr mark if my contractions are still 5min...
So for context, my baby’s head is super low and engaged and I was 1cm dilated at my OB appointment last Monday. Then on Friday I lost my mucus plug. A couple hours later I started having what felt like period cramps at irregular intervals… then they stopped. Overnight had a few more stronger sensations that seemed m...
I’m 41 weeks today and have an induction tentatively planned for Monday. Thus far, baby’s size and heart rate are OK. He’s presenting downward, but posterior position and doesn’t seem to want to rotate to an anterior position. Last week I was 4/5 engaged and this week he’s shifted to 3/5. Has anyone opted for an e...
Hi all, I’m 21 weeks pregnant with my rainbow baby and I’m a first time mum. I’m terrified of giving birth ‘naturally’ and wanted to find out more about your experiences. I actually don’t feel that much better about an elective c-section but figured that I’m ok with the scar and I feel a bit better about doctors a...
I can’t tell if my water broke or if I just peed myself?! 5:40am it felt like I had to pee so I got up and got to the bathroom and before I sat down it just started coming out of me and it wasn’t a small gush or anything but I stood there for a minute with it continuing to come out of me then eventually dripping. It...
