Labour just won’t start?!?

41+2 and I’m just absolutely stuck on what to do! Baby’s in a great position and head is engaged and down low. Had a sweep and due my second tomorrow, booked in for an induction on the weekend but just at an absolute lost cause as I desperately just want spontaneous labour to start

I feel like chilling with a toddler at home is impossible, and I just have no clue what to do next apart from give up as I’ve tried everything!!

Gender was wrong 🤣

Baby clenched fists

My LO is 10 weeks today and since birth his fists have been clenched and when I try to play with him his arms are so stiff and his fists stay clenched. He waved his arms around himself they are not fully locked but they only move when he wants to move them. Is this ok? Or should I see an osteopath maybe?

3rd degree tear…what to do now?

I had a 3rd degree tear with 6 litres of blood loss with my first. I have fully recovered. I’m pregnant with my second and terrified to give birth at my nearest hospital as the care has been atrocious. My neighbour knows someone who died last month giving birth there. I’m being told NOT to have a home birth but I’m sh** scared to give birth at this hospital. Anyone had a third degree tear then had a home birth?

Positive back-to-back (occipito-posterior) stories

Ladies, I need to hear your positive stories please. Today is my due date and I've just had a scan and been told that baby is in a back-to-back position.

I have tried to look for positive birth stories but all I can find are horror ones about how bad the pain is!

My first baby was a lengthy 5 day induction followed by sepsis and an emergency section which took my body so long to recover from.

I feel a bit wounded that I don't think I will have a positive story to reflect back on.

I have been scheduled for a c section on Monday if baby isn't already here, but I'm now considering pulling it forward.

Please let me know your thoughts 💕

Miscarriage 6

I need to hear that my lo will be ok as an only child because I don’t think this is going to work out for us 😢

Sickness and diarrhoea in third trimester

Has anyone else had sickness, and diarrhoea during the third trimester? Im 36+5 went to bed last night feeling fine, woke up half way through the night being sick and was on the toilet for a while. Partner ate the same food as me all day yesterday and is feeling fine. Is this a sign of labour?
