Induction

Pray with me that this baby comes naturally on its own. I have an induction scheduled for 41 weeks since today is my due date and I do not wanna be induced. I heard it’s bad and would prefer natural.

What can I do to encourage the baby to come?

I'm praying we both have our babies naturally, my due date was the 20th and I'm still waiting 🤞🏻

I declined today because I heard it hurts and I wasn’t sure if it was necessary.

oh wow 😯 I’m praying too 🤞🏽 hopefully our babies quit being stubborn and come out. I don’t want anything forced

@Tika I fully understand that, I thought the same thing and I ended up going through with the membrane sweep and I went into labor and had her less than 24 hours after the sweep was done. The initial sweep on a scale of 1-10 was a 4, and then it's smooth sailing until I went into labor

Praying for the same. 🙏🏾 Come on little stubborn babies!

look up “positive inductions” on TikTok. Really put my mind at ease.

Praying for you 💜 I had to be induced due to it to being medically necessary- at 37 wks. It was positive , and my water broke naturally. Thank god! I pushed the baby out in 6 minutes. I was discharged the next day. I completely get the fear though, it was the scariest thing because of the unknown

I went to the doctors today and asked just this. They said sex (semen specifically) helps bc it has a hormone used to soften the cervix. They also recommended looking up miles circuit.

Day out after c section

Hey,
I had an emergency c section 1 week ago I obviously don't want a day out right now but I have things booked for the Easter holidays so in 2 weeks. I was just wondering if I will be overdoing it if I have a day out then or will I be ok? I would still take it as easy as I could. When did everyone feel good enough to go out?

Period like cramps

Hi
I’m currently 33 weeks pregnant and I keep getting period like cramps I thought these were Brixton hicks but I’ve heard they only last 30 seconds ish as this can go on for a good time frame then go away and come back, they aren’t bad enough where I can’t do basic things they just feel like I’m about to get my period I’m jus wondering how normal this is? Baby is still very actively kicking xx

C section or natural?

I am a control freak and thinking c section is the least stressful route for me and baby… less complications during labour etc. whilst acknowledging recovering can be hard.
If it could be guaranteed no tearing or complications then I would opt for natural and kind of want to experience the feeling.
Then again could plan and go either way 😂 arghh!
Anyone else in this predicament?

Midwife check

Can someone remind me when the midwife visits you at home? Is it the day after you’re discharged? And is that the same on the weekend or do they not visit then? Thanks!
