I had to have this & when it gets inserted it can be left upto 24hrs after half that time though it become painful down below I couldn’t walk properly it was uncomfortable so I asked for them to check turns out it had started to fall out but it had done the job of softening my cervix so I could have my waters broken

I went in on a Friday to have it inserted… it fell out after 20 hrs but my cervix was still closed at the top so they put in another… I had a bloody show after a couple of hours… they checked and I was already 6cm dilated… I had my waters broken after that

Maternity pads/knickers

Can anyone please help me advise what to buy for my hospital bag when it comes to maternity pads/knickers? I am very stuck! Not sure obviously whether this will end in vaginal birth or c section, but any recommendations would be very handy!

First scan :)

I had my first scan and baby is looking very healthy so far! (Measuring around 9 weeks) I do have some health problems and considered high risk so it was a big relief to know that so far everything is going okay

Leeds General Infirmary Births

Hey, has anyone got pictures of their rooms from LGI labour ward?

I'm making my birthing plan and wondering if I'll sound silly when giving my preferences for environment. For example, I've asked for a dim room with sensory lights if possible. But if its your typical white basic room I won't bother coming across as a primadonna 😅
