I was in prodromal labor for 3 days before I delivered my baby boy. I started getting regular contractions last Wednesday. Went to the hospital on Thursday and got sent home because I was only 2 cm dilated. Went back to the hospital on Friday night because I just couldn’t take it anymore. The contractions got so overwhelming and I was struggling to keep a positive mindset. But they let me stay at the hospital this time because I was at 5 cm. Within 4 hours of being there, I was fully dilated and delivered. That prodromal labor is no joke, but I promise it will end and you will progress quickly after you make it over this hump.

I have an appointment tomorrow and I hope there’s progress. Was 1cm last Thursday so I’m praying to dilate more.

Dates

I want to have a c section again with my second.

When/how long does it take to see a consultant and when will I roughly get my date?

My first baby, my waters broke at 39 weeks and I had him the next morning first thing, however I also then had to have a section anyway. But I do want to have one again with my second. I told my midwife this at 16 and 24 weeks, she said she sent a referral but no appointments have been made so a little worried. I’m 28weeks today

Dilation stories

So y'all I just went to the DR and found out I'm 1 cm dilated. Can hear some of y'all stories of when y'all gave birth? Was it quick after you found out you were 1cm dilated or did it take a few more weeks to give birth ?

Bleeding After Sex

I’m 12weeks postpartum and i noticed that anytime I have sex I get some bleeding after words, it’s mostly brown in colour and it’s not heavy enough to fill a pad. I mostly use pant liner. After some days it stops, then when I have sex again i start to bleed again. (Same Color, same amount of blood). Should I be worried? Is this normal ?

Tiger Balm?

I mentioned to my OB/GYN that I had been using tiger balm from time to time for lower back pain and she looked at the ingredients and said that she would recommend against it but honestly is anybody truly listening to that advice or are we still using tiger balm?
