Those that have already had their babies

FTM so probably another silly question 😂 I’m 40 weeks + 2 now and obviously I’m over it and fed up of waiting. However, little one decided to be very active last night for 4 hours straight! To the point where I thought my waters were leaking as I was having mild lower back pains and contractions but it stopped after an hour. Today I’ve pretty much been losing bits of my mucus plug every time I go to the toilet, it is just mucus though there’s no blood in it.

Little one is VERY active once again and feel like I’m not getting a break from her! Could this be the start? Can babies get super active before labour begins?

It could be! But it could also still be days away 😅 hoping it’s a good sign for you 🤞🏼

Yes! I had my baby 5 days ago and this is exactly what hapnd in the beginning.. my waters broke first and my little one was really active the day before 😄 I wish you best of luck!

I felt like I wasn’t going to go into labor at all my baby was moving and doing all sorts of stuff right up until contractions started and I noticed loosing my mucus plug very gradually over the course of a week. So all good signs but nothing immediate for me. It will happen eventually though!

I started very light contractions right after mucus plug loss, baby within 48hrs 🤞

Induction?

Anyone been induced before? Was it more painful? Better than thought? Worse than thought? Worth it? Thoughts?

Induction or c section?

As a last resort, would you rather be induced or have a planned c section?

Really not liking the thought of being induced from people’s experiences I’ve read!

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?

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

Homebirth?

I am thinking I want a homebirth (second baby) for a few different reasons but my husband is very against it, he is worried about things going wrong and we are a 30 minute drive from the hospital. Has anyone been in a similar position and what did you end up doing? Any advice? 🙏
