So tired (need suggestions)

So Friday I went in for a membrane sweep my OB did one and was like omg girl your like 5cm dilated now. I’ve been having contractions since Thursday night, have been trying EVERYTHING to break my water. (Stretches, ball bouncing, incline walking, and intercourse) do any of you mommas have any suggestions?

Have u been on spinning baby website? My ob was showing it to me on my last appointment. Also how far along r u? I want to get a sweep at 38 but idk if I’m too early for one

I have not checked out that website! I shall tho! I do these labor inducing stretches and workouts everyday which usually get my contractions going heavy, I’ve lost all my mucus plug Saturday night. I’m 38w 4 days

It will be any day! Trust your body 🤗

I was in a similar place but my OBGYN had me head to the hospital where we then broke my water and got things going, I had my baby 7 hours after breaking my water

Miles circuit could help. In a similar situation, sitting at around 5 cm dilated since Friday and playing the waiting game… trying to stay busy in the meantime 😅

It might be better to rest rather than keep doing exercises. Baby needs to know it’s safe and calm to come, so snuggle up with a nice movie, low lights, keep things quiet and intimate! Surrender to birth!

Day out after c section

Hey,
I had an emergency c section 1 week ago I obviously don't want a day out right now but I have things booked for the Easter holidays so in 2 weeks. I was just wondering if I will be overdoing it if I have a day out then or will I be ok? I would still take it as easy as I could. When did everyone feel good enough to go out?

Reduced Movements

Has anyone else gone in for monitoring for reduced movements and as soon as you arrive at triage the baby starts moving and the CTG is normal? It makes me feel like I am over reacting.

2nd pregnancy after c section

I’m not planning on getting pregnant anytime soon but in the future possibly. I just wanted to know how is pregnancy after c section like my fear is having to go through another emergency operation or even putting strain on my incision during pregnancy

Newborn stage

Is anyone tired of doing the same thing everyday and being on a 2-3 hour schedule? It’s the same everyday and I feel like I’m losing my mind. It’s making me depressed even if I get out once a day. When does it get better? I feel like I’m just waiting for the next stage where it’s not just sitting around all day.
