Did you make noise or were you quiet during labour?

There's definitely no right or wrong here by the way! Just curious to know if you felt like roaring or not? What felt best for you?

No just swore ALOT 😂

Same as Alex🤣🫣

I only gave off twice during labour. Once when my mum kept telling me contractions where starting (as if I couldn't feel them) then the second time when my partner was replying to my friend during me pushing and i needed a drink 🤣

Quiet. Almost broke a hand. But quiet 😬

Pretty quiet moans for most of it, but straight banshee screamed the last 30 minutes 🤣

My whole body took over and I shouted, couldn’t help it, the drs told me to stop shouting but I physically couldn’t😂

I made like moaning cow sounds both times, didn't know I could make those noises. It felt very natural to make all those noises though and I was glad in my labor class they hd taught that low sounds helped not increase pain sensations, because my husband would model a low noise each time I started to go higher. It helped kind of ground me with my first labor 🤍

🤣

I mooed 🐮

No screaming or anything. I was able to talk pretty easily until about 7-8cm in both my labors so just chatted until then. I was quiet during contractions past that point but I'm pretty sure I made some cow noises while pushing. I wasn't really in control of them, they just happened

I can't believe they told you to stop shouting!!!!

exactly right - they just happen 100% and trying to stop them would be so difficult ❤️

I know I was shocked , I just kept shouting😂 , my body did it naturally so that’s what I did! Can’t stop what the body naturally does!

normal or infected?

5 weeks post c section , i went at the beginning of the week as my wound had opened completely different area to what’s leaking. was told it didn’t look infected. anyone know if this is normal coming off it, it’s only a little amount at a time

Induction?

Anyone been induced before? Was it more painful? Better than thought? Worse than thought? Worth it? Thoughts?

Baby names

My daughter‘s name is valentýna and I’m struggling to find other nice girl and boy names beginning with V I’ve got a few and I’ve got loads that aren’t beginning with V, but I feel like I wanna go for all vs and I also love girl and boys names that match so because my daughter’s name is valentýna I would love to call my son Valentino my husband does not agree 😃

Induction or c section?

As a last resort, would you rather be induced or have a planned c section?

Really not liking the thought of being induced from people’s experiences I’ve read!

I am so done with pregnancy !

Everything i do hurt . I sit down / i stand up / i walk / i lie down. I am in pain ! I am tired ! His mouvement hurt down there like electricity chock ! My back is on fire ! If i walk more then 5 minutes i feel like i am going to die ( low ferritine) the acid reflux is crazy . I mean i can’t and don’t wanna do this no more . Only 31 weeks !

Almost 37 weeks + told to do another growth scan

I just had my second to last doctor’s appointment this morning, and my OB told me she wants me to do another growth scan because my belly is measuring small. She says it’s probably just because I’m a smaller woman, but they like to be safe. It’s hard to hear though, since I just did one a couple months ago.

I did this with my firstborn around this time of pregnancy, so I do think I just carry smaller (even though I don’t feel like I look “small” at all). My first baby was 6lbs 15oz when she was born at 41 weeks + 2 days. I’m having this baby at 39 weeks on April 7. I hope she’s still at least 6lbs.

Anyone have any stories similar to this?
