Induction at Airedale

hi...I'm due to be induced around 38 weeks due to gestational diabetes and being on insulin.

I'm just wondering if anyone has been induced at airedale recently and what was your experience like?

I keep reading stories of hospitals being super busy, no beds and delayed inductions so just feeling a little stressed at the moment

I had an induction in April and it was so quiet staff were absolutely lovely x

I was induced at Airedale in August and it was totally fine! They actually ended up bringing me in earlier than expected on my induction day so no delays, and it was me + 2 others in the induction ward. All the staff were great, super friendly & helpful

aw that's great to hear. they've been fab all the way through my pregnancy to be fair. I think I'm just scaring myself at the thought of induction x

amazing! Good to hear some positive stories. I hope mine will go similar xx

Scan needed at 33 weeks

Hi ladies! I just had a midwife appointment (I am 33+5)..the midwife was different to my usual midwife. She's requested I have a scan within 72 hours as she said baby is measuring a little small, however, she did say that it's likely nothing to worry about and it's probably just her measuring me a bit different to my usual midwife. Has anyone else had this? Am a bit worried although babys heartbeat and movements are completely fine.

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 😃
