Induction experience

Hello!

I hope you are all well,

I was diagnosed with GD at 36 weeks and my baby girl is measuring small. They told me I need to be induced in the next weeks

I’m feeling quite overwhelmed as this is our first baby and they gave me so much information.

Anyone has a similar experience or a good/ positive experience about induction please?😊

Thank you :)

Hospital bag review

I’m 37 weeks and told the baby can come anytime so I got to packing my hospital bag tonight.

Ladies, please review this.

Do you think this is good enough for a hospital bag?

I also have 2 Lindt chocolate bars (snacks), L&D gown just in case and a going out outfit for when I leave the hospital.

C section recovery feeling stuck

Anyone else pp feeling stuck/ trapped?
4 weeks pp c section so I can’t get out and about and anything with a newborn is hard. Feeling stuck and frustrated in the same place on the couch feeding and contact napping. I know that’s what I’m mean to be doing but how did you get out of the feeling of being useless / stuck.

C-Section vs Vaginal Birth

Hello! I’m a first time mum to a 5 month old. I had an instrumental vaginal delivery. My preference was to avoid c-section if possible due to the recovery time, but of course would have accepted it if it was needed for any emergency reasons. Thankfully, I didn’t need a c-section.

Are any mums who had an elective c-section able to share why? This is a no judgement zone, I’m just curious is all! 🥰

4/5 engaged

This probably sounds so stupid but I looked on badger notes this afternoon after having an appointment this morning and it says baby is 4/5 engaged, can that mean labour is near? This is my second baby
