Induction??

40+4 now, my first was 41+1, and there's been zero signs of baby coming. I've had 2 sweeps and have a 3rd tomorrow, and I know they'll ask about induction. I wasn't induced with my first and haven't heard the best from friends/family but I'm getting desperate. Does anyone have any positive induction stories or advice on how to get this baby moving??

Is anyone else finding out gender on Friday (20 week scan)?

I just am excited to know so I can go shopping 🤣 but wondering if anyone else is near the same due date as me (September 12) and are having their 20 week scan on Friday as well ☺️ photo just not to get lost

C section

Since having a C-section, has anyone else felt like this?

After I eat, I sometimes feel really weak and heavy, like my body just slows down and even my posture feels off. I’m about 4 months postpartum and it’s still happening.

Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this or knows what it could be? 🤍

Just left hospital…

Omg just had an elective section when does the pain stop?
I’m day 1 today & although I’m moving around I’m only having paracetamol and ibuprofen which I can’t see helping! I’m so sore.
I’m gonna need to do stairs too. Also I’ve got a pico dressing any advice on making the most of that too x

Induction/epidural

For those that went through an induction did you have an epidural?

Context
With my first i didnt have an epidural until after his birth as i had a 3rd dagree tear, his birth was completely unmedicated because it was so fast.
Well anyway multiple people tried for 4 hrs to get the epidural in and failed it was so painful and my back was bruised badly for weeks, in the end they gave me a spinal.

I basically want to know if i can get through an induction (that i know tends to be more painful) without an epidural and just with other pain options or if i just opt into a cesarean

I have 12 days to decide and im stressed 😫
