September 2023 Babies 🇬🇧

Sweep

I had a sweep yesterday, since I’ve had the odd period pain nothing regular at all, the odd lower back pain but again nothing regular. Woke up, went for a wee and had a huge blob brown gooey discharge on my tissue, the last few hours I’ve been so fatigue and had 2 poos today. Sorry for TMI but does any of this mean anything?

Thank you! X

Hey congratulations! I had a sweep with my first baby and I went through the same things. Contractions started within 24 hours and gave birth the next night :)

I had my ‘show’ the next morning after my sweep, had some irregular cramps since and that was 2 days ago but still nothing!

I had a sweep Tuesday and had the same
Just had another a few hours ago and the consultant has now booked me in for induction and daily monitoring so I’m hoping todays one does something 😩

I had cramping for about 24 hours with the brown discharge but then it all stopped x

fingers crossed this one works for you!
I’ve got another sweep next Tuesday but I’m booked in to be induced on Thursday x

Ahh good luck 🥰 feel free to message me if you want x

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!

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

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?

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? 🙏
