How long did you push with your second ?

I pushed for almost an hour with my first and was wondering if it takes less time for the next baby? Also if you had 2 inductions was the second one faster?

following cause i pushed 3 hours with my first and i don’t wanna experience that again 😵‍💫 it was also induction

My first was about an hour of pushing, and my second was about 5-8 minutes. Both inductions and my second was MUCH faster. My first was 60hrs and my second took one one day.

Um I hate to scare you guys but my first came with about 3 pushes in less than 5 min (went 0-10cm in about 15 min) and was 2hr 45 min from water breaking to her being delivered. 2nd I went in for an induction day before due date but was already at 4cm so they didn't actually do the induction but took a full 25 hours until she was born (on her due date).

GRANTED they gave me magnesium which stopped my labor around 8 hours in when I was at 8cm naturally and that just royally screwed everything up so they did pitocin for a solid 12 hours with 0 progress. After 22 hours I gave up and got an epidural to sleep for 2 hours then I was at 10, they flipped her from sunny side up, pushed 2x and she was out.

I pushed for 12 minutes with my first and my second was 5 days of contractions. A pessary, the hormone drip, my waters being broken and 3 sweeps, unfortunately I was only 5cm dilated on day 5 and he then ended up turning breech and ending in emergency CS.

Does this scan look normal?

8 weeks today. Private scan. Healthy heartbeat and sonographer noted no concerns. I’ve worried myself that the babies head isn’t forming properly😩

Braxton hicks??

Am I getting Braxton hicks or is this just new symptoms you deal with in the 3rd trimester.

I have a lot of pain in my bum bone ( forgot what it's called) it's like someone has hit it with a hammer and it's bruised. It comes and goes but is mostly there.

My belly will get tight all around then go back to being squishy. Then I keep getting this pain in the entrance to my v. Which will take my breath away. But again comes and goes. I'm 31 weeks. Ftm should I call the docs or is this normal ( I don't want to waste the docs time )

What to pack for postpartum & the hospital?

Hey girls, new mum to be here 😅! Idk what else to pack for hospital or what else i’d need for hospital? I’m trying to be minimalistic and just bring what I actually need! I don’t live far from the hospital.
If anyone has done this before please let me know what you think and fill me in with your must have products 🩷🤗

Pains

Currently 36 weeks+5 with my first. Was still working today but have had to come home due to really sore back pains (paracetamol not touching it) but now have cramping higher up at the front! Think I'll phone triage again but just wondering if anyone else experienced this and if I should be concerned or not! Back pain seems to be getting worse/duller!

Belly hardening

Does anyone else belly feel pretty hard lately, not like tightening just generally hard
