Is there a reason you’re getting the rods? I had the gel when I got induced with my second and it felt so natural compared to when I get Induced with my first with the pessary. My friend had the rods and she didn’t have the best experiences. Maybe if there isn’t a reason for you having rods that you can ask for the gel I found it was painless too.

I had the rods. They kept me in and the next day I was dilated 3cm so they then broke my waters on and was in labour straight away for 8 hours then my son was born

Bed transition

When did you move your baby into their own room? My baby is now 6 months old and this morning I found him on his stomach in his next to me. He can roll both ways but hasn’t got the understanding that he can’t always roll in the direction he wants to. I worry about SIDS with him being on his stomach. I have anxiety about moving him into his own room because I can’t just look over and check he’s ok and breathing. Has anyone else experienced this and when did you move your baby into their room?

Pain in the shoulder

Hey everyone!

Anyone experienced shoulder pain during pregnancy?

I’m reading all these things online and I’m starting to freak out as I am not sure if it’s because of training or something more serious. It’s not at the tip of the shoulder and don’t have any bleeding.

My scan is on the 5th of November! I am about 5 weeks ish
