Hormone drip
I’m being induced on Wednesday, with my first baby I was induced but I can’t remember if I had the hormone drip as I was so out of it from gas and air and pethidine.
Can I refuse it this time? As I’ve heard it makes contractions more painful, or can I say if I do need the hormone drip, I will need an epidural can the 2 coincide?

You can refuse anything you don’t want. You can also ask for an epidural before you’re given the drip if you do decide to have it x
Im being induced on Wednesday too🤗 i feel like ots so far away tho😭and im so worried
Yes you can refuse, I was induced with my first baby too and they were very persistent I had the drip but I put my foot down and I was contracting by myself within 30 mins of them braking my waters x

Growth scans
Hi ladies - just want to ask if there's anyone here who Hasn't been offered a growth scan? Literally everyone I've chatted with on this app has had one or multiple growth scans. My last scan was the 20 weeks one and I haven't seen baby since 🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️ want to ask my midwife about this at the next appt but still, is it normal to not be offered one? For context, I'm 34 weeks. Thanks x

C section scar related??
I had an emergency c section in 2024 and this year I’ve noticed something new that keeps happening and I don’t know if it’s linked to having a c section. I’ve noticed when I’m getting out the shower/bath and I’m bending forward to dry my legs and feet I get this random tight knot feeling in my stomach ( few inches above scar). It scares me but soon as I stand back straight it goes. Has anyone else experienced this?

C section pain
Hi, I had an emergency C section 2 weeks ago exactly, it was a pretty horrendous C section in the end 😭 but my question… I’m still finding myself in some pain, a soreness around my scar, a pain inside my stomach and a strain when I wee, is anyone else experiencing this please? I’m taking pain killers when it gets bad maybe once / twice a day if I really need! I really thought the pain would have been gone by now 😭😭

Early labour question!
I had a small bloody show this morning there wasn’t a lot of mucus plug but I’ve been loosing it for months but it was brown/ blood stained only the size of a pea and for the last couple hours I had intense back pain and a suttle pulsating when sat down and the back pain is
now only a very dull ache and baby boy hasn’t been as active but ever since my back pains calm down he responds when I prod him. I still don’t believe this is labour as I’ve had cramps on and off for a couple weeks and just wanted some advice
