Exciting! Mine went at the same time of day but last week. Not sure if it had a direct effect, but I used the Freya app to help breathe through & time the contractions and I think by being as calm as I could, it helped to keep them coming and go through the motions. The app also has positive affirmations and other audio that I had playing.
Good luck to you!!! It's all so worth it.

Sit on the toilet xx

I spent the day on my birthing ball after my waters broke. The midwife advised the more relaxed you are the more likely it is for your hormones to start it off for you!

Music, cuddles with pets, birthing ball, walking, feel good films and food. Anything that will boost your oxytocin xx

Birthing ball, fav candle, dim lighting, tv chill x

Finding out gender

Has anyone found out the gender at a private scan at 14 weeks? And has this been accurate?

I found out at 17 with my first but I know a scan place that offers from 14/15 weeks and I’m impatient 😂🥲

Induction?

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

Baby names

My daughter‘s name is valentýna and I’m struggling to find other nice girl and boy names beginning with V I’ve got a few and I’ve got loads that aren’t beginning with V, but I feel like I wanna go for all vs and I also love girl and boys names that match so because my daughter’s name is valentýna I would love to call my son Valentino my husband does not agree 😃

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!
