Overdue arrival 🥰

My little cherub arrived this morning and I am in love. All growth scans projected 6-7lb but she was 9lb 🥰

Opted for an induction that I was hesitant about due to my previous birth complications. Had the pessary in for 6hrs and got to 5cm. Contrantractions were a bit crazy but praise the lord for the tens machine. It was slow to progress until they broke my waters which was like a tsunami and then it was rock and roll time. Managed an unmedicated birth and pushed her out which im very proud of. A very very healing birth from my last 🩷

Good luck to all you mummas, enjoy every moment and dont put too much pressure on yourselves xx

Decreased baby movements

I am 26 weeks pregnant and I haven't felt my baby move since and 13.30 . My partner says everything is fine and I am over reacting. What does everyone think

Emergency c-section

I had a scan today and unfortunately there is an issue with the placenta. The consultant basically said that they will monitor but it is likely that this will end in an emergency c-section. Is there anything you’d take with you in your hospital bag specific to c-section? My last birth was natural ending in forceps

Waters being broken

I am 39+6 I have come into hospital as I have had some bleeding. I am also having contractions but I am only 1cm. I have been told I won’t be leaving the hospital without my baby and the plan is they are going to break my waters and put me on the hormone drip. Has anyone had this before or had waters broken and put on the drip?

I got a sweep today and I am 2cm dilated, if it worked how quickly did everyone go into labour after?

Working

Is anyone still working? I’m 34 weeks tomorrow and honestly struggling mentally so much. I’ve realised I hate people and my fuse is so short with things. I am planning on working until 39 weeks but my anger levels are just increasing so much😩

Does anyone have any advice?
