I had my waters broken in hospital rather than an induction and my contractions started within the hour and then I gave birth 56 minutes after they started 😳😬

oh wow that quick 🫣😂 I’m having my waters broke tonight or tomorrow morning so hopefully it’s the same for me!

a little too quick to be honest haha. It was very overwhelming! Good luck. I hope it all goes well for you 😊

My waters broke at 11am, backache started a few hours later, full contractions started around 7:30pm and baby was born 9:45pm!

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?

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

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?
