The time is coming 🫣

1 centimeter dilated and 50% effaced at my appointment this morning and she did a soft membrane sweep - so I decided to cancel my induction for tomorrow to ride it out a little bit to see what happens, so I go back Thursday afternoon for a recheck!

sometimes the membrane sweep doesn’t work, i would have kept the appointment.

Ooof I’ve been 1cm and 50% for 3 weeks 😭 Hoping the membrane sweep works for you! I plan on asking for one at my appointment in the morning.

I was 1 cm and 50% effaced and my membrane sweep didn’t work I lost some of my plug and had spotting but that’s it, I plan on doing another one tomorrow and I think that one will work

Yeah I’ve heard so many different things!! When I go back Thursday she’ll do another one but I figured I might as well wait it out and see what my body can do on its own first!!

I felt like one reason my doc was pushing my appointment for tomorrow is because it’s “hard to get on the schedule” so I didn’t want that to be the main reason because I don’t really have any health concerns!

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

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?

Hey what are your current symptoms?

I’m 37+5

I’m pretty mobile still but anything over a hour or 2 and I’m in discomfort

Getting up from a sitting position is hard

Some of baby’s movements now are bordering on painful especially around my crotch/pelvis

I’m exhausted very easily and nap every single day

Can basically only breathe out my mouth now and I’m snoring and dribbling 😂

Standing in one leg is very painful 😂

Some waves of pain/ tightening but I regular and mild

Low period type aches

And I feel like a fire breathing dragon with this acid reflux

My nose is growing 😂

My fingers swell slightly and go numbs in my sleep so that and constant toilet breaks keep me up ( checked swelling with MW and consultant and all normal, not a worry)

I also do not want to be social in person like I’d rather everyone just be my penpal atm lol

What are your symptoms?

Planned c section

Has anyone had a planned c section and been home the same day?

C section compression socks

Hey ladies when did you ditch the compression socks and how mobile were you when you did? I’m so done with them! 6 weeks tomorrow since the op and im walking around the house doing jobs and baby care but not really out and about yet (the odd day I am) is it safe to ditch the socks?
