Im 39 weeks today and just came back from triage.. the doctor said that I can be induced on Friday. I’m terrified. What do I expect ?? I’ve watched the video they gave me but my heads all over the place.

If you get the epidural, I recommend eating a bunch before you get it because it made me nauseous and I puked while pushing, I honestly slept through most of my labor and I was induced as well, it felt like pressure and period cramps, I didn’t really feel anything till my water broke

Hi, just in regards to the comment about eating a bunch of food (no hate) 🩷 this can happen due to being in active labour and/or a side effect of having the epidural it’s self. I was also induced at 39 weeks due to high BP.

This is just what worked for me, I didn’t go in with a birth plan or any expectations of the birth of my daughter. I went with the flow and ended up having an emergency c- section due to heart decals!.

I vomited the first time after eating, midwife informed me this was because I was in active labour at the time.

I then vomited again during the start of c section from the meds. I was also informed prior to the vomiting that this would likely happen (and is common)

Have they said why they want to induce? Any issues with you or baby? You don't have to agree to it.

How do you find time for yourself with a baby?

2 months into mum life and I’m slowly trying to remember I’m a person too 😂
Between feeds, bottles, naps and somehow doing the same things on repeat all day, I’ve started trying to make a little time for things that are just mine again. I’m slowly getting back into a little beauty/wellness project and working on my online shop whenever I get a chance.
Any other mums trying to work on something of their own while on maternity leave? How are you finding the time without completely burning yourself out? 😅

Just struggling

Currently 15+4 and having a rough time. Feel like all I ever do is cry or feel exhausted! I wake up tired everyday and I hate it! Feel like such an invalid! I’m working full time & live with an autoimmune disease so everyone tells me to be easier on myself but I feel like I’m failing at pregnancy- anyone else just having a hard time in 2nd trimester? X

I had a pregnancy scan and they said baby came from right ovary, what does this mean?

Is this relevant? If yes why? Was there a reason this was mentioned... opinions please
