Induction of second baby

I just was wondering if anyone has experienced having to be induced with their second baby. I went into spontaneous labour with my first but this time having to be induced. Anyone else experienced this?

Not yet , how far along are you , did they give you a reason why? Maybe health concern?

So I’m 37 and 5 days so I will be 38 when they induce me! It’s down to the size of him, he is currently at today’s scan 8lb9oz so they said to try and avoid a c section it may be best.

Oh becuase of his size

The size is usually an estimate don’t let a doctor tell you what to do make good decisions for yourself and for your baby, I delivered my son at 8 lb 8 oz
And it was vaginal natural birth no epidural. So when it’s time for baby to come, they will let you know when they are ready,
But if it’s concerning your health maybe your small, idk just look at all the facts and how you feel about it

Mines measuring big too, 97th centile 2 weeks ago and thankfully 90th today (38 weeks) and I’m really having to stand my ground and fight my corner. First baby was measuring about 60th came out 34th so I’m not letting them dictate this birth to me on growth scan alone

My first was spontaneous labour, assisted vaginal birth at 9lbs. My second is measuring larger again and so I’m being induced at 39 weeks. I’m totally happy to be induced, I’m measuring consistently two weeks or more ahead and have no doubt he will again be large like his big sister was🤷🏻‍♀️ I want to avoid an emergency section due to my first being a young toddler so birthing slightly earlier and slightly smaller than 40+ weeks feels like the right choice for me x

where has the time gone!!!

C - section

Hello lovelies, I’m getting closer to my date of c section.

Can I ask how it all went for you? I felt prepared and now I have this awful feeling what if I bleed out! I’m sure that’s not the case. But I just wondered how it went, and how the aftermath was. I have seen on social media people say it’s horrendous but then I speak to friends and family and they’re like yeah it’s not easy but you can cope! You can walk, etc. I think it’s the unknown… lol!

Also were you all sick during your procedure and did you all get terrible trapped gas? If so what tips do you have xx

Best way to be induced??

I just found out I may need to be induced early due to preeclampsia and having a generally bigger baby which of the ways to be induced do y’all recommended?

This is a bit strange.. but hear me out

I am 36 weeks and 4 days today.
I had that feeling, you know when you are trying to take a tampon out on your end of period and it kind of hurts because the tampon is dry? I had that sensation today?

Now I feel like I have to push something about my vagina? It kinda tickles but uncomfortable. I’m not having any pains at all anywhere btw so can’t be baby ??

cheating dream

i need advice but PLS DON'T JUDGE!!!
last night i had a dream, i always used to dream my partner cheating on me with my friends, or being super mean, but since we had our baby those dreams disappeared. for context, we haven't been able to have sex yet, I'm 12 weeks pp, and my pelvic floor is so tense, and it's awful.
last night i had a VERY weird dream, it was so realistic, and different from others, he handed me his phone, and ask me to help him handle this girl, like annoyed? in the chat this girl was super obsessive, and messaged him a lot before he replied. she asked him to sing a song to her, and he sent her a voice message singing it, and other voice messages i couldn't listen in the dream. i wrote her to stop, and she was angry, telling me he started it. then i confronted him about this (still in the dream) and he changed his attitude, he seemed so guilty and said to me he had deleted some messages. i don't remember much else, but i woke up with the URGE of checking his insta messages. we've been together for 5 years, and I've never checked his phone, and neither has he (that i know if, at least) and contained myself, but I'm still very much concerned about it. it felt like an epiphany, a revelation or smth like that. I know people might think I'm overreacting but i can't get it out of my head, it was so specific.
i though about asking him to show me, but i know he'll be bothered that i don't trust him (i would be too in his place), but if he's cheating he would say that to make me feel bad. also i thought about checking his phone in his sleep, and then ask him to see his reaction, but feel so bad, i wouldn't like if he went through my phone without asking, even tho I have nothing to hide.
please, be kind!!

Princess birthday party

My child will be turning 5 over the summer and they’ve asked for a princess party but keep changing their mind on which princess they’d like to most their party so have said I can choose 🙈 which princess would your child have chosen at a similar age or if you’ve been to a few princess parties which one was best?
