Induction

What time do colchester usually contact you regarding induction time? I've been told to wait for a phone call!

I was told i had to phone around 3pm the day my induction was booked for and they said to call back at 4pm because they had no beds, called back at 4pm they told me to come in for about 6ish x

If you’ve been told to wait for a phonecall it could genuinely be any time!

It could be literally any time!

I was called shortly after 10am. I had been told they have a meeting at 9am to decide the times and that they would usually call around 10am to let me know when to come in

that's great thanks so much❤️

I think it's recently been changed to that they call you, fingers crossed it doesn't take too long I'm so nervous😂❤️

Sorry OP! My daughter was 2021 so yeah it may have changed!🙈 Best of luck 🫶🏻xx

Found this post today as I’m sitting here waiting for my call!

@Lucy I heard from them at 12 and they wanted me in for 1 so be ready! Good luck lovely xx

Ah that’s good to know! Hope everything went well for you 😊

I was told to wait and they missed us off the list so if you dont hear I’d give them a call x

Day out after c section

Hey,
I had an emergency c section 1 week ago I obviously don't want a day out right now but I have things booked for the Easter holidays so in 2 weeks. I was just wondering if I will be overdoing it if I have a day out then or will I be ok? I would still take it as easy as I could. When did everyone feel good enough to go out?

Reduced Movements

Has anyone else gone in for monitoring for reduced movements and as soon as you arrive at triage the baby starts moving and the CTG is normal? It makes me feel like I am over reacting.

2nd pregnancy after c section

I’m not planning on getting pregnant anytime soon but in the future possibly. I just wanted to know how is pregnancy after c section like my fear is having to go through another emergency operation or even putting strain on my incision during pregnancy

Baby Movements

Hello, I’m a FTM currently 18W5D pregnant. I’ve been getting this tugging feeling in my stomach after I eat, it’s uncomfortable but not painful. I don’t know whether that’s the baby moving or round ligaments pain.

I’ve also been getting round ligament pain which is either a sharp stabbing pain or a stretching sensation. These happens whether or not I’ve eaten while the tugging feeling is only after I’ve eaten.

So, could the tugging feeling be the baby or something else.

Anyone getting a private scan at exactly 6weeks

I just wanna know my baby is actually there after losing my first at 5w

Labour

Think im a bit confused really, i went into traige as was having contractions eveey 3-5mins. Since being here im now having them every 2-3mins which was confirmed with the machine and i think the toco was 90-100 and they feel painful and my lower back is in loads of pain but apparently im only just over 2cm dilated maybe, she has said i can stay here for a bit longer to see if things progress as had a previous quick birth as well but i dont understand why the pains are coming this quick if im only 2cm dilated and feel a bit deflated from it also.

I had a sweep this morning also.
