Being induced later today!

Hey everyone I’m so nervous as I’m being induced later today and iv looked it up but not 100% sure about the process I’m being induced as my waters broke yesterday at 12 and if labour doesn’t start on it’s own it’s risk of infection as it’s all a last minute decision I haven’t really looked it up much, just wanted to know how they induce you and any positive story’s other mumma have about being induced. Also I’m already having contractions very painful ones but I’m only 1cm dilated.
Thank you In advance I’m so nervous and frankly abit scared. X

What ever happens it’s all worth it🥰

I had the hormone drip- everything affects everyone differently. Being nervous is always gunna happen but you’ve just got remember that you’ll be seeing your child soon and all that pain and worry just disappears. X

I was given the hormonal drip to start contractions and I can honestly say there is nothing to worry about. I had a very positive experience. Everyone's birthing experience will be different but you'll be surprised how strong you will be before/during/after. Its all worth it in the end x

It is impossible to give informed consent if you do not know what you are consenting to. It would be beneficial to explain to the midwife that you are nervous and that it would really help to fully understand and be clear of the process and steps. It is literally their job to keep you informed and happy. Every hospital/ trust is different and may have a different method of induction. You deserve to, and have a right to, know what procedure the medical team are going to initiate on your pregnant body. You will likely feel much better once you have a clearer idea of what their plan is. Best of luck; you have got this. 🥰❤️💪🏽

Is this normal?

Is this little red bit on my section scar normal? It’s not oozing anything, doesn’t hurt but it’s the only bit on my scar like it so just curious! (19 days PP)
Thank you in advance! 🥰

Help

I was getting pretty painful period cramps and during those, I had painful lower back cramps. I had these on and off for like a few hours so from about 10:30pm to 1am?

I’ve had no show, or anything like that.

Is this braxton hicks or early labour pains?

Fed up

Anyone else just feeling fed up in general? I just never feel happy anymore. Wake up dreading what the day ahead of us will be like.
Little one will be 6 week tomorrow

Anyone else felt like this?

Hi, I’m 4 months postpartum, little one sleeps through the night and is formula fed, the last week I’ve felt extremely tired and very hungry! Just wondered if anyone else has felt this way/experienced this?

Early waters/pre term labour?

I can’t get checked until later today unfortunately. I can’t tell if I’m leaking/starting early. I definitely think I’m having braxton hicks yesterday and today.. i have some pain in my back but she is quite low down so hoping it’s just pressure, baby was a little quieter yesterday but she’s back to more normal movements today, but my underwear just seems to get so wet, especially after going to the bathroom. And I honestly can’t work out the smell, I’m pretty sure it’s just discharge/urine leaking but there’s that worry in my mind a little. Are there any other ways to know/check if it could be the start of it all?

32 weeks

32 week growth scan and clinic appointment. Did anything unusual happen? Ive heard a few people saying 32 weeks was when they had a induction date
