In induction

Currently in day 2 of induction, had pessary inserted yesterday at 4pm, 2cm dilated at 10pm and they advised that delivery suite was to busy for my waters to be broken. Regular painful contractions all night every 5 minutes lasting 30 seconds.
5am this morning exam showed 3cm dilated and bulging waters. Even more painful contractions. Again delivery suite to busy to break waters. Contractions now stopped. Someone please give me some hope that I will be in full swing soon, feel so guilty on my little boy at home😩

It doesn’t sound like things are going to take to much longer. Try and stay active walking on a ball etc but also try to rest because you will need your energy

Have they managed to get you a bed and break your waters?
In the same boat, waiting for a bed. 2cm dilated as well. They’ve said could be up to 36 hours

I’m waiting for a bed on delivery suite the pessary has done it’s thing and I’m 3cm so literally just waiting for a bed on delivery 😩

I keep chasing as well and they keep saying inductions are last priority. So annoying :(

How did yous find getting the pessary removed ? I’m so scared for that part?

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! 🥰

Help

I was getting pretty painful period cramps and during those, I had painful lower back cramps. I had these on and off for like a few hours so from about 10:30pm to 1am?

I’ve had no show, or anything like that.

Is this braxton hicks or early labour pains?

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?

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?
