Please mark sensitive posts // rant

Can you guys please mark your bloody mucous posts as sensitive? No ones trying to see your discharge drenched fingers that you just stuck inside of you to see if it’s your mucous plug. No one’s trying to see your toilet tissue soiled in bloody mucous. Just give warning and mark as sensitive it’s not that hard.

Also we’re not doctors on here! Some people are constantly asking if they’re going into labor as if we have a crystal ball that can see into the future. If you have concerns Call your provider! I get that this app is for support but damn we can’t tell any more than you can. Dropped baby ≠ going into labor. Losing your mucous plug ≠ going into labor. Being 1 cm dilated ≠ going into labor. Your left eye twitching twice within an hour ≠ going into labor.

I get that we’re all nervous and excited for our babies to get here but everyone keeps asking the same questions. Scroll down a little or use the search bar and I’m sure you’ll see that the question you are asking has been asked a thousand times already.

Baby measurements via ultrasound are not a guaranteed thing. They can be off by 1-2 pounds. Castor oil is not recommended to induce labor but by all means if you want to risk you and your baby’s health because you’re impatient- go for it!

If your partner is treating you like shit, you need to have a conversation with them. Unfortunately all we can do as strangers on the internet is provide short term validation however nothing is going to get resolved if you don’t stand up for yourself and speak to your partner.

Who cares if your baby is a leap year baby? I thought the point here was to have a healthy child and safe delivery? Some of you guys’ priorities are out of whack. The baby chooses when to come sorry to say! If it’s on the 29th then it’s on the 29th. Literally who cares.

People post rants on here all the time so I’m posting mine. If this posts offends you then oh well.

‘If this post offends you then you’re one of the ones I’m tryna offend’ 😂 damn you is pissed!! How many weeks are you? You def have a point because there’s a lot of repetitive stuff on here but we’re all just hanging on and looking for validation/reassurance or maybe even someone to talk to

Amen. A lot of trash questions on this website meant for midwives.
Just saw another mucous plug, “what’s this?!??”. Every single picture before it from others looks exactly the same. I’m no detective but…

This app is literally for all of that. Get off if you don’t like it.

🤣🤣girl bye I’m clearly not the only one who feels this way

I made a post about this a while ago and got bad mouthed so badly to the point I refuse to post anything because some the people that see what I post in incognito end up just bitching you out for staying an opinion!

Wait? I matched energy and you’re mad? ☹️

it’s ridiculous honestly. Like why can’t we share how we feel too? I understand venting and all that but people are literally asking for medical advice like that’s dangerous but sure as long as feelings aren’t hurt I guess 🙄

Avatar

I understand venting I really do I’m just moreso annoyed with the constant asking of “should I go to the hospital? Does this mean I’m in labor” like babes only a doctor can tell you that. I’m not pissed just annoyed

Couldn't agree more! I mean yes some one on her could possibly be a medical professional, but honestly your safest bet is to talk to your care team you see regularly!

thank you for not being afraid to speak the truth like come on ladies…

How do we search on here? I’ve been looking for the search bar for weeks!

exactly! Spamming the group every other day asking if you’re in labor is… idk it’s not going to get you anywhere. Putting your faith in strangers is not safe. I’ve seen people recommend some dangerous things to induce labor too. And spamming about marital problems constantly asking what you should do then getting mad at people for giving advice is just so tone deaf. Talk to your provider! Talk to your partner! Like yes vent but also talk to those who can actually make a difference?

Sometimes I check this app from work, so yes, I agree, please mark as sensitive especially with pictures of your body fluids 😉

Annoyed is my middle name at the moment 😅 but yea those questions should go to the professionals not so much here

Reduced Movements

Has anyone else gone in for monitoring for reduced movements and as soon as you arrive at triage the baby starts moving and the CTG is normal? It makes me feel like I am over reacting.

Labour

Think im a bit confused really, i went into traige as was having contractions eveey 3-5mins. Since being here im now having them every 2-3mins which was confirmed with the machine and i think the toco was 90-100 and they feel painful and my lower back is in loads of pain but apparently im only just over 2cm dilated maybe, she has said i can stay here for a bit longer to see if things progress as had a previous quick birth as well but i dont understand why the pains are coming this quick if im only 2cm dilated and feel a bit deflated from it also.

I had a sweep this morning also.

Pregnancy after c section

What time scale did everyone get pregnant again after a c section?
I know the doc said they recommend eating at least a year to 18 months but it took 4 years to get pregnant the first time after being told we could not conceive naturally so not wanting to stop it happening knowing it could take a very long time again but also worried.

Baby Movements

Hello, I’m a FTM currently 18W5D pregnant. I’ve been getting this tugging feeling in my stomach after I eat, it’s uncomfortable but not painful. I don’t know whether that’s the baby moving or round ligaments pain.

I’ve also been getting round ligament pain which is either a sharp stabbing pain or a stretching sensation. These happens whether or not I’ve eaten while the tugging feeling is only after I’ve eaten.

So, could the tugging feeling be the baby or something else.
