Induction advice

I’ve been told that I am going to be induced and I’ll get a call on either Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday. Anyone been through this? Can they call you at any time? Even the middle of the night?

They will call you during the day to get you booked in. You should have a few days to get prepared

They can call you up to midnight at my hospital.

I was called on the 11th July to go in at 3pm. Induced at 7pm. My son was born on the 14th 🤣

So be prepared it could be a ling process.

But you can also refuse induction. I wish I did if im honest x

I got a courtesy call around 3pm the day they told me they would ring to say they're really busy and that they hadn't forgotten about me, they stated if I hadn't heard back by 6 it would be tomorrow. Then got another call at 5pm asking me to go on any time from 6pm. (Royal Derby hospital)

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.

Pregnancy after c section

What time scale did everyone get pregnant again after a c section?
I know the doc said they recommend eating at least a year to 18 months but it took 4 years to get pregnant the first time after being told we could not conceive naturally so not wanting to stop it happening knowing it could take a very long time again but also worried.

Labour

Think im a bit confused really, i went into traige as was having contractions eveey 3-5mins. Since being here im now having them every 2-3mins which was confirmed with the machine and i think the toco was 90-100 and they feel painful and my lower back is in loads of pain but apparently im only just over 2cm dilated maybe, she has said i can stay here for a bit longer to see if things progress as had a previous quick birth as well but i dont understand why the pains are coming this quick if im only 2cm dilated and feel a bit deflated from it also.

I had a sweep this morning also.
