Be kind to yourself first and foremost...
Try and be as mobile as possible for as long as possible during labour
Stay hydrated during and after labour
If allowed, have plenty of snacks available... If not, make sure you have a nice treat for after as you may only be offered toast (depending on day and time of moving to postpartum ward)
Don't be afraid to ask for any and all pain relief
That's all I can think of right now from my 1st birth after being induced.
Wishing you the best of luck with a smooth and speedy birth and recovery.
Same, I’m nervous mines in 11 days

I’m absolutely petrified can anyone give me some positive experience examples 🤣.
Obviously can’t wait to meet baby girl but the rest of it is giving me the fear 🤦🏻♀️

Baby Amara is here 😍💗
I got induced on Tuesday 18th August via pessary then after 24 hours the midwives broke my waters at 5pm yesterday. After less than 7 hours of labour I gave birth to my beautiful baby girl this morning at 12:04am and weighs 7lb 12oz. I asked for an epidural but it failed and before I knew it I had to push and she was out in a few minutes. My fourth and last baby and I'm so blessed to have her 😍🥰

Good or Bad Circumcision?
Hi moms, FTM here, has anyone experienced baby boys penis having a little swelling near the shaft, kinda fluid like small, no odor or pus or bleeding he is 1 month old. I just don’t feel like it should be like this but the pediatrician said she’s seen it an it resolves on its own as their penis grows. But I am concerned and she gave us a referral for a urologist but I am trying not freak out but I am like anyone else had this.
Also I am sensitive right now so no horror stories just positive or relatable ones and what you’ve found?

Nausea remedies
I am about 7 weeks pregnant and have been bed ridden for about 2 weeks. Constantly being sick, feel nauseous all day, can’t do much and don’t feel comfortable going anywhere because sickness is unpredictable. Increasingly just becoming so bored and getting fed up of this as someone who is normally very active and would go to the gym etc. Any suggestions to help the nausea and stay sane?

No symptoms/bump has shrunk?!
I’m 17+5 and my bump has shrunk (I didn’t know this could happen?!) I have zero symptoms and I can’t feel movement (never have). I’m really panicking but I can’t get a reassurance scan anywhere. Is this normal??
