Idk if this is your first or you’ve been induced before but getting induced with my son is the single biggest regret of my life. He wasn’t ready so his body started failing, I had to lie on the operating table unable to move having had an emergency section, and watch my blue little baby get cpr on a table across the room. I didn’t even get to see his face for 5 hours after he was born.
I’m a big advocate against inductions unless they are the last resort, my impatience almost cost my son his life x

preach that!! I had a similar experience and my baby ended up in NICU for 5 days with sepsis after swallowing her own poo due to stress and now lives with respiratory issues. Wouldn’t recommend it to anybody x

Not sure if there’s more context or reasoning behind you wanting to be induced. But I can honestly say that inducing labour before your body is ready is NOT worth it. It often ends up making labour take much longer, be much more painful, and usually leads to a “cascade of intervention” increasing your likelihood of needing an emergency C section. I know the waiting is hard, but if there’s no medical reason to induce, the best thing to do is wait OR discuss the possibility of an elective C section instead.

Keychains and Phone Charms

Hey guys! I started making these little keychains and phone charms and I’m loving them! I haven’t done it yet, but I’m thinking of adding my baby’s name to one🥹

Too late for C section?

Hey everyone, so I’m 39 weeks today and I’ve become really frightened about having a vaginal birth. I’m worried that I’ll panic when labour becomes painful because I have a very low pain tolerance. I don’t feel that I can cope with a vaginal birth the closer it’s getting and feel like I’d maybe like to request a planned C-section. Do you think this is still possible or have I left it too late? I feel as though I will panic so much I won’t be able to push and will end up having a c section anyway.

PP waxing

I’ve gotten Brazilian waxes for years and got one before delivery but had to have emergency c section and now at 4 weeks PP want another but am scared for my incision even tho it’s closed. Anyone have a cesarean and get regular waxes? How long after delivery? Also still bleeding a lot. I just find it so uncomfortable and want to do my regular wax!

Is there something you randomly think of and laugh while going to sleep?

I often think of my husbands work having them take professional pictures and for some reason they had him take off his glasses. What is this a passport? Because he had no glasses on his eyes looked sort of strange (being literally blind) and we are almost 100 percent sure whomever edited the picture flipped his eyes upside down lmao. I almost peed myself looking at the picture and because he doesn't know what he looks like with no glasses on he just thought he has really weird eyes lmao.

Terrified 2nd c section

Absolutely terrified off my second c section. I keep trying to go to sleep but then I have a nightmare of everything losing to much blood or dying :( please help ladies. My iron levels haven’t been great when last checked it was 122 and ferratin 14 but one doctor says you need infusion another says not so I’m really stressed
