January 2024 Babies 🇺🇸

Stuck at 4cm dilated

Hey ladies. I’m 38+5 & I’ve been stuck at 4cm dilated for a few days now. This is my 3rd baby but my 1st term pregnancy (had my first 2 @ 33 &34 weeks) I will start having consistent contractions for an hr or two then they will stop. I’ve lost my mucus plug and had my bloody show. I’m absolutely miserable & I feel like I’ve tried everything. I haven’t slept in days. Any tips or tricks or words of encouragement would be greatly appreciated.

Can the hospital not put you on a hormone drip to help your labour progress?

I feel you. I was in labour for 4 weeks with my second and it was miserable. On my due date they finally got me in for an induction. No advice as nothing worked for me but I have my fingers crossed for you that it happens soon!

Hang in there, mama.🌞

In the same boat I’ll be 39 wks tmr and have been 4cm and 70% effaced for the last week 🙃 I don’t want to be induced but I don’t want to go past term and be forced to be induced anyways

thank u love. I have an appointment tomorrow and I will definitely ask about sleep aid. I’m also going to see if they can check his position again!

Is this normal?

Is this little red bit on my section scar normal? It’s not oozing anything, doesn’t hurt but it’s the only bit on my scar like it so just curious! (19 days PP)
Thank you in advance! 🥰

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?

32 weeks

32 week growth scan and clinic appointment. Did anything unusual happen? Ive heard a few people saying 32 weeks was when they had a induction date

Fed up

Anyone else just feeling fed up in general? I just never feel happy anymore. Wake up dreading what the day ahead of us will be like.
Little one will be 6 week tomorrow

Early waters/pre term labour?

I can’t get checked until later today unfortunately. I can’t tell if I’m leaking/starting early. I definitely think I’m having braxton hicks yesterday and today.. i have some pain in my back but she is quite low down so hoping it’s just pressure, baby was a little quieter yesterday but she’s back to more normal movements today, but my underwear just seems to get so wet, especially after going to the bathroom. And I honestly can’t work out the smell, I’m pretty sure it’s just discharge/urine leaking but there’s that worry in my mind a little. Are there any other ways to know/check if it could be the start of it all?
