Labour ward delivery

Has anyone had experience with this or are planning on this? There is slightly increased fluid around the baby which is being monitored and they have said if this doesn't decrease I will have to deliver on labour ward. I was hoping to go to a birthing centre 🤦🏼‍♀️

I birthed on a ward 12 years ago.. im sure things have changed a lot since then so I won't go into my experience x

I delivered on the labour ward (I had to be induced) I couldn’t have a water birth but they were still amazing they got me the prettiest like space projector that lit up the whole room and got some Bluetooth speakers so we could play whatever music we wanted! The midwives were great too!

Thank you 🙂 glad you had a positive experience x

I had to go onto a labour ward with my first due to gestational diabetes. It was fine. I even ended up being taken into surgery to have forceps and they were quick and speedy. I’ve opted to go for the labour suite again just because they are more geared up incase of anything happening. Xx

i really want another baby

i am merely a few months pp but i want another baby, but i am scared of the age gap (2 under 2) and also with everything going on in the world i just think its not the best idea at the moment but i am having crazy baby fever and miss having a newborn🥹

C section or natural?

I am a control freak and thinking c section is the least stressful route for me and baby… less complications during labour etc. whilst acknowledging recovering can be hard.
If it could be guaranteed no tearing or complications then I would opt for natural and kind of want to experience the feeling.
Then again could plan and go either way 😂 arghh!
Anyone else in this predicament?

Period like cramps

Hi
I’m currently 33 weeks pregnant and I keep getting period like cramps I thought these were Brixton hicks but I’ve heard they only last 30 seconds ish as this can go on for a good time frame then go away and come back, they aren’t bad enough where I can’t do basic things they just feel like I’m about to get my period I’m jus wondering how normal this is? Baby is still very actively kicking xx

Has anyone ever had pain in the bone at the bottom of the lady area?

How I can only describe it is I feel like I have a fracture or the bone is broken right at the bottom of my vagina bone obviously don’t think it’s to the extent but that’s how it feels. I had it in my last pregnancy and the pain went few months postpartum now it’s back again with this pregnancy. These are the results that u e googled I think I may have the first one has anyone every had this or something similar

Midwife check

Can someone remind me when the midwife visits you at home? Is it the day after you’re discharged? And is that the same on the weekend or do they not visit then? Thanks!

Boy or girl🩷💙

Any guesses? Having a private scan tomorrow and gender reveal Sunday!! This was an emergency scan today at 16 weeks🤭
