Honestly the midwives brew is what got me in labor...a lot of people say bad stuff about it but it went amazing for me

Wish I had the answers for your I tried everything. In the end I had to have my waters broken manually at 42 weeks. She was not coming out on her own 🤣🤣

sex !!

Or don’t induce 🤷🏾‍♀️ unless baby isn’t doing well or you aren’t you don’t have to say yea to the induction. It’s really not mandatory. Use your right as a patient. But you can try the miles circuit (look it up), curb walking, birth ball exercises (not bouncing it doesn’t do much), really spicy food, evening primrose oil as well. Is baby engaged?

Did you get a membrane sweep?

second this

And why are u afraid of being induced?

Squats. Deep squats 😅 and induction really isn’t that bad. I had my waters broke for induction and it went totally fine. The only method I would never agree to again is pitocin

what’s the witches brew? sorry if that’s a dumb q lol

no my doctor did recommend it tho

I’ve just heard some horror stories

midwives brew I ment

I got a sweep done at 39w 6d (July 26th) that night at 12:50am (July 27th) I started contractions then at 2:29pm I was holding my sweet boy

Sex, lots of sex and no pulling out!

I tried everything to induce labor naturally and none of it worked lol baby will come when they are ready or you get induced 💓

Just so you know a membrane sweep IS an induction.

it wasn’t bad for me

Curb walking, membrane sweep, drinking red raspberry tea is what helped

Yoga ball, spicy food and dates.

Exercise ball worked wonders!

I danced with my first one!!

normal or infected?

5 weeks post c section , i went at the beginning of the week as my wound had opened completely different area to what’s leaking. was told it didn’t look infected. anyone know if this is normal coming off it, it’s only a little amount at a time

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 😃

Induction or c section?

As a last resort, would you rather be induced or have a planned c section?

Really not liking the thought of being induced from people’s experiences I’ve read!

I am so done with pregnancy !

Everything i do hurt . I sit down / i stand up / i walk / i lie down. I am in pain ! I am tired ! His mouvement hurt down there like electricity chock ! My back is on fire ! If i walk more then 5 minutes i feel like i am going to die ( low ferritine) the acid reflux is crazy . I mean i can’t and don’t wanna do this no more . Only 31 weeks !
