Anxiety levels high

So today is decision day whether to be induced or not if babba has stopped growing.

I have a scan with fetal medicine this afternoon and although I want little out if she has stopped growing I'm also anxious 😟 she's definitely ready to come out but I hated the induction process the first time as it took 4 days and I don't really want a c section unless completely knocked out! ( have acute anxiety so can't be aware of what's going on)

Anyone got any advice ?

im in the same boat! exactly the same as you, and also scared but all i can say is birth gets easier each kid, so you may find your induction goes so much quicker, keep a calm head and youll be okay! xx

Thank you, at the moment I keep getting retinal migraines and zig zag lines in front of my eyes I'm hoping they will disappear when I give birth x

Im in the same situation, i have my appt this afternoon, im 36+5 ... so nervous, but i am hoping they will agree to her being born early as its been one thing after another & i am done in ! Good luck 🤞

I got mine on Thursday 😣 I don’t know what to expect

They just do a scan and measure the baby, my baby is fine and apparently is on scale and growing fine, so put me through all that stress for nothing. Good luck with all your babies

Unwell after sweep

I’ve had a sweep earlier today, lost the mucus plug about a couple hours later. Got period type cramping immediately, I hadn’t even left the midwife appointment yet. I have contractions and permanent back cramping, alongside waves of nausea - which is a combination I’m struggling with as I feel quite unwell. Nowhere near labour, as I’ve had 6 contractions in the span of 3 hours or so. A midwife told me sweeps cause really bad cramping, so I assumed it was normal. But just want to check if there’s anybody out there in a similar boat? Should I be calling the hospital to check if it’s all normal?

Has your life become a living nightmare since becoming a mom?

Sometimes I become conscious of the fact that I just have to wake up tomorrow morning and do this all over again. Every day. And then I wanna bash my head into a brick wall

39 Week Induction Being Pushed On

Went to my 36 week appointment today and my OB was pushing for a 39 week induction.

I want a natural spontaneous labor but my OB kept pushing for the induction even if I’m low risk and healthy. Is anyone else experiencing this?

6 weeks pp no cervical check?

Hey yall! I had an emergency C-Section 6 weeks ago after my bp was sky high with baby boy at 39 week appt. Went for my 6 week pp appt today and all she did was look at my incision sight and said I was good to go. Is this normal?? Is it actually ok to use tampons/menstrual cups now??
