Induction

I’m being induced this Saturday at 37+1, so ready to meet the little one. Any last minute tips for making my life/labor/induction easier? Feels like I’m forgetting everything since my first.

What’s the reason they’re inducing you?

Take snacks, electrolytes/lucosade, something to keep you entertained in case it takes a while, remember to ask questions when a suggestion is put to you (pros/cons/alternatives so you feel well informed and confident), and just go into it with an open mind!

Hope all goes smoothly for you!! X

What are the odds my elective will happen tomorrow? (I know it's hard to say)

The hospital called me and told me to come in at 7am instead of 7:30am, however they also said I would be coming in with 6 other women and the list won't be made until we are all admitted (understandable). The theatre is open from 8 or 8:30am until 7:30pm and they don't do electives on the weekend. What are estimated odds I will actually get to meet my little one tomorrow? Just worried as I am not allowed even water from 7am on

Back to work after mat leave

Hi all, I started back on work Tuesday after a year off, my lg is 10 and half months old I also have a 5 year old who’s in y1.
I only work 3 days a week Tuesday, Thursday, Friday. I honestly feel so run down already and I’ve only done my second day I honestly don’t know how I’m going to do this for the foreseeable it’s just constant. I have so much to do yet I’m sat here eating cake and a super noodle for my tea because I don’t have the energy or time to cook my self anything.
I’m a hairdresser and I just feel mentally and physically drained already. Does it get easier

Triage reduced movements

I went into triage for reduced movement and after feeling reassured on ctg. A random dr comes in and tells me I should deliver today as at term.

Like wtf - midwife said it’s protocol for them to say that

I’m so annoyed

I have C-section booked for Tuesday so part of me just wants to go with that now

Breeched Baby

So I went to my ob yesterday. I have been having TERRIBLE pain in my pelvic area and awful nausea. My feet are humongous and I'm retaining water. My ob thought this was all strange, so she did an ultrasound and my baby is breeched. He is kicking me right in the vagina and making me so sick. I will be 29 weeks tomorrow , so he still has time to turn around, but they want to keep an eye on him. Did anyone else go through this? What happened?
