35w 1d - 3cm dilated 90% effaced

Hey hey. So yesterday morning I was having contractions every 10 minutes. Decided to go to the ER to get checked. Around 6pm they saw I was 1cm dilated so they wanted to observe me longer. 2 hours later at 8pm they checked me again and I was 3cm dilated so they admitted me. My contractions were coming every 5min then every 2 min. I stayed overnight (most uncomfortable bed ever) and they checked me this morning to find out I’m still at 3cm so they sent me home. Of course I’m looking for home remedies to get this process going 😫 I’m so tired and in pain..

I don’t really know of any I’m a FTM at 36+ 3 days pregnant. But wanted to say thinking of you!!!! Hope you can feel better so soon. You got this

i can’t say what works & what doesn’t but these are things i know people do/say; sex, 6 dates a day, raspberry leaf tea, curb walking, castor oil, pineapples, collecting colostrum

I’m trying to figure out how to get it moving faster too. I’m 37 weeks 1 day.

I’m a FTM as well but thanks so much! I hope everything works out for you! 🙏🏾💓

okay, I’ve been bouncing on my yoga ball all day lol my discharge paper states no sex so that’s out of the picture. I may have to try the dates and tea though for sure.

ughh, let’s figure it out together lol

Induction?

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

i really want another baby

i am merely a few months pp but i want another baby, but i am scared of the age gap (2 under 2) and also with everything going on in the world i just think its not the best idea at the moment but i am having crazy baby fever and miss having a newborn🥹

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

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

Homebirth?

I am thinking I want a homebirth (second baby) for a few different reasons but my husband is very against it, he is worried about things going wrong and we are a 30 minute drive from the hospital. Has anyone been in a similar position and what did you end up doing? Any advice? 🙏
