April 2026 Babies 🇺🇸

Anything you guys are doing to naturally start labor?

Hi mamas, doctors confirmed I have gestational hypertension and are closely monitoring me in the event that this escalates to preeclampsia. I’ve come to terms that I will be induced some time next week but I’m also panicking. Had my first cervical check and I am not dilated at all and my cervix is tucked away.

Can anyone share their positive induction story or words of advice. I feel unprepared, anxious and overwhelmed. I thought I had more time and now I’m spiraling. I’m questioning myself, my ability to become a mother, and just the overall labor & delivery process.

I have officially made it further in this pregnancy than I did with my first. I will be 38 weeks on Sunday and 12 days today until we meet our newest little addition via c section. Who else is over it and ready for a DRINK!!!! being pregnant with a toddler is not for the weak.

My baby is 5 pounds 6oz she also has a head full of hair and she’s breathing I’m doing so good she doesn’t feel that heavy at all

After two weeks in the hospital I made it to 34+3 weeks I started having contractions late Tuesday night / Wednesday morning but they weren’t picking up the contractions. She was breech and I ended up in a c section which is my first after 3 other vaginal births. Also my first NICU baby. She discharged the day after I did and we are home and healing! This was a wild pregnancy! Her due date was 4/26/26 but born 3/18/26
