4CM dilated NO CONTRACTIONS

I was supposed to get induced yesterday but they aren’t beds and they still haven’t called me.
I’m 4cm dilated 😭 I’ve tried everything to break my water. I guess baby girl doesn’t want to come yet.

I’ve been 4cm since last night .. I walked 50 mins today and was on the yoga ball for 3 hours. How long will it take to get to 5cm??

This sounds a little crazy but I was able to get from 0cm to 7cm from laughter. My water broke unexpected so I went straight to L&D and watched my favorite show that always makes me laugh. Unfortunately after 7cm I stalled and had to be induced but laughter really does help!

what’s the name of the show if you don’t mind me asking ? lol I could use a good laugh

Modern family 😂 I really enjoy it. It's on peacock!

Emergency scan

Hi! I went to triage on Saturday night for reduced movement as I hadn’t felt baby all day. I was checked over with Doppler etc and sent on my way - midwife said everything was great.

I’ve just been called by the hospital that I’m booked in for an emergency scan and it’s just taken me by surprise. Has anyone else experienced this?

Any guesses?

I just had my 12 week scan today! Any fun guesses on the gender using the nub theory? 🥰

C section with a 2 Yr old

Please be honest how much of a struggle is this? I am worried, I'm currently 34 weeks but struggling to walk bc of my pelvis, it's already difficult having to run after her and with the tantrums etc
Any tips ??

How does everyone do it

I’m 8 weeks pregnant and have a 3 year old and I can’t even get out of bed without being sick, can’t even stand for longer than 2 minutes, my toddler is basically living on snacks as I can’t get out of bed to cook, I can’t even take him to nursery I feel terrible, I’m only 8 weeks and have so much longer to go 😭

Birth plan

Debating between natural birth vs C section.
Labour lengths, recovery times afterwards, control involved in a c section, pregnancy again after c sections.. give me your experiences/opinions. 😊
(Also, if the hospital was 1.5 hours away would that affect your decision)
