Natural labour induce

I really want baby to come before 40 weeks (im impatient and family are on holiday so would rather she born when they’re around for support).

Does anyone think walking/hiking helped kick start their labour?

I tried going up and down the stairs with my son when he was due but it didn’t work, it worked for my mum when she had my brother so I’m going to try again this time! I really want her to come before 40 weeks I’m so excited!

Here for the tips also, due 19th August and my mum goes away last week in August so I would love him to come before then.

Also would love a Leo baby, I already have a Virgo so I don’t want them too close together 🙈🤣 x

I tried everything with my son but nothing helped at all (I mean sex made my waters leak but nothing actually started labour) 😬 still going to try everything this time again though just in case haha

I did raspberry leaf tea, sex, curb walking, on my ball, hotter than normal curry (night before i started labour who knows?) And she came 4 days early but took 2 days labour x

Also here for tips! Due 1st August xx

Someone help

Went to the toilet this morning and something popped so I put a pad on and loads of red /pink went on the pad then it continued so I went to the toilet again and I couldn’t get off for 10 minutes of fluid dripping out still with a red tinge every now now I’ve got the worst like period pains going

IM SO CONFUSED

Last week my midwife said my stomach was measuring a week behind, so she said I needed a growth scan. (33w 3d) I go to the ultrasound yesterday, they tell me baby is 4pounds 5 ounces and says that’s in the 7th percentile and have me speak to a doctor immediately, doctor said I need to come in 2x a week for monitoring and a ultrasound every other week…. Here’s the thing I feel like they are freaking out for no reason I searched it up and it said 4.5 is on track or ahead for 33 weeks, Also she was practicing breathing in the ultrasound, and her heart beat is healthy.

Boobs leaking

How do you guys deal with your boobs leaking at night? I find it hard to wear clothes to bed but then the sheets and mattress are getting soaked! Any ideas what can I do?

Fandom baby names

Anyone else find it cringey or hate it when people name their kids after something from a popular book, TV show or film?

Like when everyone was naming their kids from Game of Thrones or now I keep seeing ACOTAR names (love love love the ACOTAR books but no way was I going to name my child Rysand 🤪)

Am i lazy?

My daughter (first and only child) is 8 months old, a relatively good sleeper but wants to be held or wants me with her at all times. I have two larger dogs and my house is in a bit of a state. I feel exhausted and know I need to clean but I can't be bothered. I do clean up after dinner, clean the bathrooms after using them but everywhere needs a deep clean. I feel like I don't have the energy. Am I a lazy bitch or is it normal to feel this bone deep tired even only with one child? I don't know how mothers of multiple children do it!

Partner doesn’t drive – any advice?

I’m due in November with my first baby, and we live around 35 minutes from the hospital. My partner doesn’t drive, and him passing before the baby arrives isn’t an option, so I’m just wondering if anyone else has been in the same situation? How did you manage getting to the hospital when you went into labour, and do you have any tips or advice? 🤍
