None that are safe or recommended, I'd say avoid them. Maybe just curb walking and walking a lot in general

Dates , raspberry tea leaf , bouncing on yoga ball

I’d say dates! When I was 37 weeks I wanted my boy out then his due date passed I told the midwife I had reduced movement so they then scheduled my induction to get him out, I’m not saying it’s right but I needed him out of me

I did dates, raspberry leaf tea, Rosemary oil and baby came naturally at 37+6

Sex, raspberry leaf tea, curb walking, just lots of walking in general, bounce on birth ball x

I tried everything, dates, curb walking, exercising on the yoga ball, raspberry leaf tea etc etc. nothing worked 🤣

rasberry leaf tea, pineapple

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! 🥰

Labour??

I’ve had on/off mild period cramps since 9 last night, very irregular and very mild, but I just had one that woke me up. My waters haven’t gone and nor has my mucous plug… but could this be a sign that it’s close?! I’m 40+3 and desperate to meet her!

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?
