How do you get an induction? I feel like I don’t wanna wait the full 40 😭

@Jody if it's medically needed, I have a medical condition going on, so I need to be induced early or if you go pass your due date. It's not something you can just ask for.

Aaaaah you're so lucky, i hope your induction goes well and you have a smooth delivery💙. I wanna meet my baby already. My doctor actually told me to pick a date anytime before 40 weeks and after 37 weeks for induction, for no medical reason. He just always says "nothing good happens after 40 weeks". I had the same OB last year and i was furious when he said that. I didnt show up to two inductions that he had scheduled me for (one at 38 and one at 39). Waited till 40. No signs of labor. So gave in to induction at 40+5. My baby had pooped in his water and my dr was lik "I TOLD YOU SO" 🤣🤣🤣

I’m excited for you! I hope that everything goes well! Take this next week and a half to nest nest nest and if you’re still working, getting your maternity leave stuff ready! You got this!

@Aina🇵🇸🍉 I've personally always known it to be medically necessarily or after the 40wks! Non the less least your baby was okay and that's all that matters!

@Samantha thank you so much 🥹 it's definitely crunch time! Lol

@Brittany Staley it does make it easier, but I've always been induced so I wanted to experience something different but it gives me time to plan stuff for my other kiddos lol

Should I talk to someone about this?

Yesterday the nurse came to remove my staples and look at baby. She said she has blood under her scalp on one side. Likely from the use of a vacuum. The hospital NEVER told me and I was awake during the c section. I called the nursing line and they confirmed that a vacuum was used.

My mom also said she overheard them say they had to repair something from my last c section but the nursing line says they have no notes.

I'm really upset. They talked about informed consent but they never told me about the vacuum or what to expect after.

The nurse who came to my house told me should could become jaundice as the blood under her scalp absorbs and I will need to wake her for feeds.

Is Partner allowed to stay overnight in ward?

Hey mums, I’m thinking of an elective c section in Whittington hospital. Does anyone know if my partner is allowed to stay with me overnight? I don’t have any other family members in London, and I’ve heard the hospital won’t offer a private room for C section. So wondering if they let my partner stay with me over night in a shared room or it’s gonna be a tough night me alone with a lot of pain and a newborn ?!

Losing mucas plug after sweep

To anyone who's previously been pregnant, I'm after some insight please.

I'm 39+1 today and I had a sweep on Friday and I've been losing my mucas plug all day today each time I go to the toilet. I know that losing the plug doesn't necessarily mean labour is going to be soon but I wondered if that 'rule' changed at all after a sweep or can it still be days/weeks away.

Thank you 😊

be honest now… how many of us have been using chatgpt throughout their pregnancy this year?

i know it’s bad but it’s 100% been my off-duty midwife, therapist, experienced friend, admin assistant, tracker, just general go-to for everything. don’t know if i could have made it this far this sane without it.
