Baby Bodhi, Born at home on his due date 🥹🩵

After weeks of start stop / prodromal labour our baby boy was born on his due date at 20:25pm!
I went into triage that morning as I thought that my waters had started to trickle (this was only by the off chance because I felt a tiny bit damp I honesty thought it could of just been watery discharge because it wasn’t a lot) and I tested positive for my waters going, they wanted me back in at 6am for an induction the next day (which I really did not want) I went home spent the day preparing and went on a nice walk, contractions began less than an hour before he was born on the living room floor in 2 pushes 😭😭😭 I didn’t have chance to make it in my birth pool or into the ambulance waiting outside for us, (my midwife wanted me to go in to deliver at hospital) what an unbelievable experience!

Omg!!😩😒😲

Please tell me I’m not pregnant! I’ve been fasting for 18 hours a day this past month, and I just spent 12 hours at the spa, including quite a bit of time in the hot sauna. Now I’m really starting to worry! My period is officially one day late, so I’m going to test again in the morning and hope for the best. Between my other health issues and being anemic, I really wasn't expecting this right now.

I don't believe in abortion, so if I am pregnant, I want to make sure I stay as healthy as possible. Could you share some tips on how to maintain a healthy pregnancy? I’d appreciate any advice on staying well during this time. 🙏

Induced

What’s your thoughts on getting induced? I’m getting induced 38 weeks & im so nervous

C Section under GA

Hi everyone,

I was wondering if any other mums here had a C-section under general anaesthetic? I’d really appreciate hearing your experiences and how you felt afterwards.

I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed with mixed emotions at the moment. On one hand, I know it was absolutely the best and safest decision for my baby, and I’m so grateful for that. But at the same time, I feel really sad that I missed those first moments after the birth.

I also had a spinal fluid leak afterwards, which meant I was in a lot of pain and couldn’t care for my baby as much as I wanted to in those first few days. I think that’s added to how I’m feeling about it all.

I’ve got a birth reflection appointment booked with my midwife, which I’m hoping will help, but I just wanted to reach out here in the meantime. If anyone has been through something similar, I’d really value hearing how you felt and how things settled for you over time.

Thank you 🤍

I’m suddenly so emotional and wondering if I can do this.
I’ve got to have an ECV (where they by hand try and flip the baby) next week. So nervous. Has anyone had this done please?

Has there been any moms that have been cheated on but they did right by your and your 1 year old and made things right?

Just found out my partner cheated at the beginning of our relationship and flirting with girls through it and messaged sex workers and met up with them 4 months ago (2/3) sex workers for a quick romp for 15 mins.

I feel sick to my stomach. I hurt so bad. Ive cried so much that im numb.
Ive just ordered a test as Ive had flu symptoms so fingers crossed im not suffering with HIV 🤢 I feel lost.

Hiatal Hernia

Anyone ever had one before ? Did you require surgery ? How did you manage the severe nausea and acid reflux ?
