I had my baby on 28th June. I was the same 😂 also a stubborn boy 🩵. I got induced on the Friday with the induction tablets 16h later they checked and said it’s done nothing you are 1cm. I was gutted because I was having contractions! Then a consultant came to me and gave me some other options. They offered the pessary (24h), or the folly balloon (12h). I had been in there at this point for a day and half so was fed up, so agreed to the balloon. 12h later ( Sunday morning). They took it out, I was 4cm!!! I then had to wait a further 15h for a midwife and room to come available. Went into the labour ward, got my waters broke, went on the drip, had a nice chill for 2h with mild contractions. Them BAM!!! 8.36pm my contractions went from 0-100!! I couldn’t talk for the pain 😂 I was trying my hardest to ask for first level pain relief ( paracetamol) because I thought I was in for a long ride. 26 minutes later he came into the world!!! I hope things start to move for you xx

Is it too early to self refer ?

Hi everyone! Firstly, congratulations to all the new mums! 🥰

I’m currently 11 DPO (4 weeks + 3 days) and have had positive, although faint, lines on both an Easy@Home and a Clearblue test.

I was just wondering if it’s too early to complete my self-referral, or if I should wait until I get a stronger line? I’m planning to take a digital test in a few days, but I’d love to hear what everyone else has done or would recommend. Thanks! 😊

Smear test gone from every 3 years to 5years thoughts

I recently had my smear test 3 years after having my confirmation smear test 6 months after having to have a LEET and biopsy after abnormal cells where found. It terrifies me that my next smear is in 5 years time as I had abnormal cells that required burning off after only 3 years (3 years prior and 6 years prior I was all clear). Next time I could have them and it could be way worse! I didnt even have symptoms last time either. I may never need a LEET again and I hope I never do. But 5 years feels too long. How do you feel?

Have you noticed the interesting phenomenon that is pro-lifers being onboard with Corporal punishment once children are actually alive?

A.) yes it is weird

B.) I’m pro-life and against corporal punishment

C.) I haven’t noticed this

D.) I’m pro-life and willing to inflict physical punishment upon my kids once they are a tiny living human

Faint positive?

Hi everyone!

I just need someone to save me from my own brain, I’m about 13dpo and have taken a pregnancy test this morning and it came up straight away with a faint line, the line is pink (a very pale pink) but then I took a clear blue digital about 30 minutes ago that said not pregnant, so I’m conflicted and worried that it’s a false when we got our hopes up!
My last pregnancy we found out after 5 weeks so the test was undeniable! And testing this early I have no symptoms apart from some bloating! So very strange, need some input, may sound silly!
