I had a really positive induction with my 2nd baby! I was induced for mental health reasons, I went in at 1pm and they inserted the pessary, they checked me a few hours later and I was 3cm so they took out the pessary to break my waters, but before they could my waters broke on their own and within 2 and a half hours my daughter was born! We went home by 11am the next day with no issues 🫶🌸

was it more painful, I feel I might have to have one due to reasons and I’m terrified as didn’t have one with my first x

I didn’t find it anymore painful then my first, both times I’ve only had gas and air as I labour very quickly! If you’re worried about pain always ask for your options before they induce you! They may offer you some fairly quickly x

admitted Sunday afternoon,had the tablet inserted at 4:18pm at 1 1/2cm ,started having contractions at 1am, they were every 4 mins at 5am and being picked up on the monitor at 5:45am ,I got checked at 9am and was 3cm (only having 2 paracetamol and a dihydrocodeine) was transferred to labour at 11:30am. I’ve got really bad veins so the dr came and checked me and decided that they’ll check me at 1pm where I was 6cm so they popped my waters and I asked for an epidural which took about 40 mins to work but once it did I was breezing through my labour. They checked me again at 5 and I was fully dialated at which point I decided I wanted to wait for the epidural to wear off (which you do not have to do I just wanted to feel my body birth my little girl and I wanted to feel the fetal ejection reflex) I started pushing at 6:30pm and my little girl was born at 7:03pm weighing 6.15lb. I had no complications other than needing an episiotomy which was done at 7pm due to her coming out back 2 back

was anyone able to stay with you through the whole thing x

My partner came in with me the Sunday and had to leave at 8pm as I wasn’t in active labour but he could come back at 8am Monday and he stayed with me the whole labour , helped me shower after I finished having oxytocin and then had to leave at 12pm as I was moved back to the ward… when you’re on labour ward you can have your birthing partner(s) until moved back to the ward x

Chemical pregnancy or too early ?

I did a test last night and straight away the positive line came up. When I tested again this morning it’s negative. My period isn’t due until Tuesday but feeling really crap and pregnant for the last week

Ovulation

If I had sex yesterday (Saturday) n my ovulation date is on Tuesday is it possible I could get pregnant?

I'm so not meant to be a mother.

My kids won't listen to me get into stuff when they know they aren't supposed to. Telling me no all the time. Only listen to their dad. Laughs when I correct them. I spend most of my time yelling at them because they don't want to listen to me at all. My husband said that I shouldn't have kids. And I am believing him on it. I was never meant to be a mother now. I won't hurt my kids I just want to disappear and make everyone else's lives better without me.

One and done… or not?

32ftm. I’m starting to feel so much pressure to have another baby soon as I wean from breastfeeding so they can be close in age and be friends, but I don’t feel ready for pregnancy and newborn trenches again 😭 my husband and I are all we’ve got. Having just one baby without a village has been really tough. Am I being unrealistic wanting another one soon?

EllaOne

I had a positive ovulation test yesterday and had unprotected sex the night before. I took the EllaOne pill last night. Has anyone had this before? Was it effective if you’d already seen the positive ovulation?

Baby #2??

I really want baby number 2 and am thinking of doing it via IUI as a solo mama!
Has anyone had any experiences with it 👀
