Induction at Brighton hospital

Does anyone here have experience of being induced at Brighton hospital (royal Sussex) due to complications? I’m booked in to be induced next week (38 weeks) and would just love to know what to expect as I’ve been given extremely limited information.

I was induced at Brighton hospital, DM me I will give you my entire experience haha xx

I was induced at Brighton Hospital (40 weeks). Was induced at 2:30pm and my waters broke the next day at 7:30am. I am happy to tell you more about my experience. It was a positive experience for us 😊

Do you mean at royal Sussex? I was induced as my waters had been leaking without anyone knowing so they deemed it an infection risk. DM if you'd like more details. I think all will have their own unique experience and depends on the situation too. I would say take all the pain relief available! Go for that epi!!

Also feel free to DM me for more info! I was induced at 42 weeks 😊

I was induced at 38 weeks due to reduced movements. Feel free to DM. 🥰

I was induced at 39 weeks for reduced movements, very positive experience!

I was induced this week there with the pessery and it was an amazing experience. Pessery went in at 9pm slept all night and waters broke at 7am and I gave birth 8 hours later. The staff are amazing and I was really adamant about what I wanted and didn’t want and they helped me have the perfect labour experience. I had some complications after birth due to my placenta getting stuck which is really rare and the care I received has been amazing :) trust your gut with what you want it’s your labour x

Do active babies in the womb become active newborns?

I had my 40 week ultrasound yesterday (on my due date) and the doctor mentioned how active my baby is. Curious as to your experiences regarding if your baby was active in the womb, are they likely to be active when they’re newborn? 😊

Small bumps

I have a really small bump, at 27 weeks pregnant. People keep commenting on the fact my bump is so small and its starting to worry & get me down. Has anyone here had a small bump with a baby that weighed measured average size? Its really worrying me! I have a 30 week scan and one at 37 weeks because im on a moderate pathway - had a gastric sleeve in 2023 so its to check she is growing but as the comments are coming im now panicking where I wasnt before 😫

Since baby has been born…

I’m getting non stop calls, midwife’s health visitors doctors like honestly I don’t even know what day it is can you piss off🥲

Early Labour?

I’m 34 weeks today, since 3am I’ve been having irregular cramping which becomes quite intense and has caused me to vomit. I’ve also had diarrhoea. Could I be in early labour or could I just have a bad stomach? I feel generally well in myself

7 w post c-section running

When is it ok to start running again? Health visitor advised to wait longer before running but did anyone start at 7 weeks and how?
I know I won't be running marathons any time soon and probably have to start back at a couch to 5k but when?! I'm getting restless legs! Advice please

28wk5days growth scan📈

I’ve just been to my first growth scan as my bump was measuring small, for the lady to say that baby should be between 2pound 2ounces - 2pound 5ounces and my baby is measuring 2pound 15ounces which is above average, any one else has similar measurements?x
