Induction

I have been told I’ll most likely be getting induced as a first time mum. What’s everyone’s experience like what an induction, and a baloon one too😐

Had a growth scan today at 36 weeks and baby is measuring 7lbs and 9oz. The doctor has said they would like me to have an induction at 38 weeks which I’m happy to do but also not opposed to having a c section. Can anyone offer any advice or previous similar experiences! Thanks x

Positive birth story

At 3:17am Thursday my 2nd boy Vinny was born 🥰. Such a positive experience this time. I had what I thought was cramping for 24 hours beforehand but was in denial that it was real labour as contractions never got below 5 minutes apart. Eventually rang the birth unit and arrived at 3am thinking I would be sent home. The minute I arrived, my body started pushing and within 17 minutes, baby boy was born 🥰 I was 40W+5.
Good luck to all the other mamas due soon ❤️

Private room post birth

Hi,

After I give birth I was wondering if I can request a private room (Idm paying for it) I read somewhere it can be like 100/200 per night. To clarify I don't want to give birth privately in an NHS hospital. I just think I might want some privacy afterwards. Does anyone know if all hospitals offer this and how do we go about requesting this?

Thanks a lot in advance
