What was traumatic about the experience? 😬 I’m scheduled to be induced this week. Super nervous

Yes please share 😬😬

I was induced with 1 Miso pill orally and 1 vaginally which helped me to dilate to 4.5 cm then I got the epidural to get started on pitocin which helped me dilate to 10 cm, the epidural stopped working by 7cm dilated and I felt all the contractions after that, I pushed for 3.5 hours and gave it my all but baby’s head was only coming out enough for us to see just a bit of hair, God knows I wasn’t able to push anymore so they offered me the vacuum assisted delivery and girls that shit HURT, I had no medication for pain and I was screaming uncontrollably **maybe I’m just a little B***H** but it was so painful that when they put my baby on my chest I was completely in shock so that special moment was ruined for me :(. I teared internally and several stitches were given, it was horrible in my experience and I would rather get a c section for my next baby. 💯🫣

hooooollyyyyyy shit girl. You’re a trooper. Congrats 👏 this sounds painful. Do you know why the epidural stopped working ??

I don’t know 😭 I thought people were lying when they said it could happen but nope

🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽💙🎉

Ahh omg. I’m so sorry to hear that 😟 how scary. Thank you for sharing!

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?

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!
