Induction

I am meant to be getting induced tomorrow at royal derby but I can’t remember what they woman said on the phone will they ring me in the morning to tell me a time. Think I’m too tired and I just can’t remember. Has anyone else been induced at derby and know what happens. TIA

My October baby is here.

He was born at 2:33pm today but decided to breathe in his amniotic fluid instead of air. Not improving as fast as they like so we went on the cpap and are going to be getting transferred to the nicu at a different hospital. Hopefully he improves soon so we can all go home together.

Insomnia

35+4 and the insomnia is ridiculous. I’m so tired but my body just won’t go to sleep!

Anyone else? And any ideas?

When did you feel your babies consistent kicks?

I am about to be 21 weeks and I only feel him sometimes but I wanted to know if that’s normal.

Inducing labour naturally

Has anyone attempted to induce labour at home by having sex?
Did it work? Or is it another myth? 😂 I'm at the point where I'll try almost anything to get this baby out now 😂

Bump size

Does anyone else feel like they’re carrying quite small? I’ve had my 20 week scan and my baby is totally fine and in the normal centile range, but people keep telling me I barely look pregnant!

I’m 5ft 9 so maybe height is playing a role but with my first I felt like I actually looked bigger! 21 weeks today
