Scared and disappointed !

I always wanted a vaginal delivery and doctor was very positive about my progress. I’m currently 2 cm dilated and doctor has asked me to get induced due to blood flow issue to baby. I hope induction will succeed. She said if baby gets stressed, we have to get into emergency c section. And I’m so scared about it. Any Positive c section recovery would help me. :(

I wouldn’t worry too much about it yet, it’s a good sign your already 2cm, I was 3-4cm got my waters broken, on the hormone drip and my baby did get stressed out after 2 hours of pushing and I did need assistance delivering her, but she was out fast and vaginal x

I wouldn’t worry too much! I had a wild birth! I got induced Tuesday I then had the propess removed 8 hours later! I got to 8cm dilated on oxytocin with just gas and air! I started to push but baby was acting as a bungy we couldn’t work out why! They then scanned me and he had flipped back to back so I made the descision to have a section! It was perfect I had music I had a nap didn’t feel a thing! From someone who has never had surgery I was Petrified but it honestly was so positive! We found out the reason he was bungying was due to his cord being stuck around his leg and head and it had flipped him back to back! Completely out of my control there was nothing I could! But if the cord didn’t happen I would’ve been able to deliver vaginally!

I’ve had 2 c section. 1 emergency and one planned. Both recoveries were different. But doable. My babies are here safe and sound and that’s all that matters to me 🥰

How many kids do you plan to have maximum?

I’m only asking this as several years ago, back in the 1970s - 1990s, people would have several kids compared to now
I’m born in 1994 and I remember lots of people I grew up with had loads of siblings and my cousins from both my parents sides would have eight kids in them

I don’t want to go in the process of having another baby and restarting everything. The sleepless nights, screaming, baby falling ill and everything was too much for me.

In this generation, some people are sticking to one child only or having two or three kids at maximum

How to tell my 8 year old

I have just found out I am 4 weeks pregnant (early so I have a while). I am wanting ideas on how to tell my 8 year old son. I want to pay privately for a scan around 10 weeks (not sure if to take him to this, then he can physically see). I am worried that I am going to slip up, I really just want to tell him, but I know I need to wait a bit longer or at least until I know all is ok. PLEASE can I have your ideas and timing of when to tell him? Thank you 🫠✨️👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

Rolling over

Has anyone’s babies started rolling over or showing signs that they are going too? my baby is coming up to 3 months old and isn’t really showing any signs yet except when he’s on his back, he kinda pushing his body up with his legs occasionally but I think that’s just accidental when he’s happy. My friends baby started rolling from front to back before she was 3 months old and I know we shouldn’t compare because all babies are different but it’s so hard not too as a first time mum, I’m worried that I’m doing something wrong.. is it normal not to be there yet or is he abit behind?

1st birthday presents

As much as I am trying to pretend it is not imminent and the thought of it makes me want to cry. What is everyone buying for their babies 1st birthdays? I could do with some ideas! So far my son mostly has books but would like to buy some toys too. Was hoping to get him a Jellycat but they seem to be sold out all the time online☹️
