Medically complex

My friend just got a rare genetic diagnosis for her 6m old. Her baby is getting a g tube very soon and I wanted to put together a little “survival” basket for the procedure. What items really made g tube placement better or more enjoyable? What clothes are g tube accessible? Thank you all for your suggestions

Honestly all clothes are gtube accessible my son has had a gtube since 4 months old and he is now 14 months old you just need to cut a small hole on the side of his onsies and pajamas and he is going want to pull on it so I would invest in a gtube belt from Etsy and a pump caddy so he doesn't have to have an iv pole everywhere he goes and I would also invest in some non- sting anti bacterial cleaner and calmoseptine cream for granulation tissue and as for the hospital stay I would bring toys and extra blankets and comfort items if you need anything else please free to pm

Induction?

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

C section or natural?

I am a control freak and thinking c section is the least stressful route for me and baby… less complications during labour etc. whilst acknowledging recovering can be hard.
If it could be guaranteed no tearing or complications then I would opt for natural and kind of want to experience the feeling.
Then again could plan and go either way 😂 arghh!
Anyone else in this predicament?

Has anyone ever had pain in the bone at the bottom of the lady area?

How I can only describe it is I feel like I have a fracture or the bone is broken right at the bottom of my vagina bone obviously don’t think it’s to the extent but that’s how it feels. I had it in my last pregnancy and the pain went few months postpartum now it’s back again with this pregnancy. These are the results that u e googled I think I may have the first one has anyone every had this or something similar

Period like cramps

Hi
I’m currently 33 weeks pregnant and I keep getting period like cramps I thought these were Brixton hicks but I’ve heard they only last 30 seconds ish as this can go on for a good time frame then go away and come back, they aren’t bad enough where I can’t do basic things they just feel like I’m about to get my period I’m jus wondering how normal this is? Baby is still very actively kicking xx

Homebirth?

I am thinking I want a homebirth (second baby) for a few different reasons but my husband is very against it, he is worried about things going wrong and we are a 30 minute drive from the hospital. Has anyone been in a similar position and what did you end up doing? Any advice? 🙏
