This is what happened to me, I felt so disheartened so sending love if your feeling the same ❤️
I tried doing lots of things I could to try and help move things along and I ramped these up during the second dose (constantly on the ball bouncing, circling etc. , walking around, side stepping up and down the stairs) - whether this helped or not I don't know but it made me feel a little better. After 6 hours I was checked again and the midwife said I was 1cm but she could feel babies head. It was a 50/50 but she was confident a doctor could potentially break my water so they tried, was successful and I went up to 3cm immediately. My first pecessary went in at 1pm on Wednesday 31st, and they broke my water at 11pm on the Thursday.

Keeping everything crossed it starts working for you soon xxxx

I’ve had exactly the same currently on 1st pessary had nothing although they said they can see tightnings on the monitor, getting checked again at 3 hoping they can break my waters if not then it’s another pessary 😭. Wishing you luck hope the 2nd one works for you. X

Oh no I had the 2nd one at 4 had some tigntnings then they eased off then about 2 yesterday morning they ramped up within half hour from contractions starting my little man was born was very hectic and quick so no time for pain relief and little man got stressed so ended up with intervention so not nice but he arrived safely other then a soar head bless him. Hope your 2nd one worked and you’re both ok. Xx

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?

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

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?
