Yes my induction was over the course of a week starting 6th October with a pessary that softened my cervix followed but the balloon then on the 13th called in had my waters broken waited 2hrs then started the hormone drip took gas & air but eventually stopped working as the hormone drip makes the pain go from 1-100 had an epidural at the point cervix was still only 2-3cm so had a c-section at 4am on the 14th I suppose it depends on your pain threshold I have a high tolerance but it was a lot xx

oh dear I had to choice to go for c section but I chose natural if I can , that sounds like what my sister went through last year hers never went further than 3cm she had to have c section in the end I think the idea of a c section frightens me but whatever will be will be,
Is it the case that you may go in to get something inserted to then get sent away? X

with the pessary I wasn’t allowed home so stayed in for 36hrs but was sent home for 24hrs with the balloon catheter in as was sick of the hospital. I was also offered a c-section due to him measuring big but I choose to try natural first xx

Avatar

same , my boy is apparently measuring big too so I’m wondering what the weighing will be. Isn’t it very painful with c section the after effects xx

Avatar

it’s painful once the meds have wore off they try and keep you topped up but especially the first time getting out of bed and walking I found holding him tough as well as he’s so big xx

Pregnant with baby 2

Hi everyone! I gave birth via emergency c section 9 months ago as my baby boy was measuring big, he pooped inside so there was risk of him inhaling it and I wasn’t progressing past 3cm to have a natural birth and now I’m currently 20 weeks pregnant with my 2nd baby. I’m having a consultation on Tuesday to talk about birth options and to have any questions answered but I don’t know what to ask. I feel like it would be safer having a c section again but at the same time I don’t want a c section. Does anyone have any question ideas I could ask or any advice/stories of similar situations. Tia

I have a feeling like I might get attacked from this but I’m going to say it anyways. incognito 🥸 GLP1s being mainstream for regular people who are NOT diabetic or morbidly obese is bad for so many reasons 💉💉💉

Side affects, long term dependency, supply shortages and costs, regaining the weight back as soon as you get off them.. all that ASIDE how do people not see just from a zoomed out perspective how crazy it is. I can’t imagine being someone facing food insecurity in an underdeveloped country and watching westerners give themselves daily jabs so they can lose weight while still eating a calorie surplus/ crappy foods. It’s giving hunger games when district 12 Katniss finds out at the party at the capital that people eat and then take a pill to make themselves sick so they can 🤮 and eat some more. These ads running ozempic everywhere are disgusting, and then getting amazing athletes like Serena Williams to push them talking bout “i’ve never been healthier” girl you were an OLYMPIC athlete wym??

Getting pregnant after c section

When did you get pregnant again after a c section? Our plan was always to have 2 under 2 but that is now out the window because I had an emergency section. I know they say 18 months and we will be sticking to it (as much as I don’t want to) but I’m curious how quickly you got pregnant after your section?

Movements

I’m 28 weeks tomorrow. Yesterday I had loads and loads of movements but today I have only felt small flutters and a couple of kicks throughout the day. I get so confused as some people say they don’t have a pattern but others say they do. We have a Doppler so used it this evening and could hear the heartbeat and then moving but does anyone else get quieter days of movement than others? I am seeing my midwife tomorrow so will check but just find myself getting anxious about it and don’t know when to get checked. I know they encourage it but last time as soon as I got to triage baby started moving loads!

Movements With Second Baby

Im 17 weeks pregnant with my second baby, but I still haven’t felt any movement. I was expecting to feel it early with it being my second pregnancy, so was just wondering when other mums felt movement with their second+ pregnanices? I have a lot of anxiety this time round after this pregnancy started with twins but I lost one after everything looked to be going well, so desperate to feel some movement just for a bit of reassurance. Thanks in advance 🩷
