Mentally prepare yourself with how fast the contractions will come and how you’ll be dilated so fast

Or on the contrary, how slow induction can be (depending on the method/if you are over due date or not/if your body is in any way ready before the IOL process begins etc)
Everyone’s experience is so different!

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

Cramps

Woke up this morning with cramps, usually only get them at night and gone by morning today I woke up with them still and had them all day. Had a nap and woke up and their worse now. It’s just a constant pain I wouldn’t say there’s a pattern to it, it does fluctuate in how painful depending on what I’m doing. Just went food shopping and the pain is so bad and all in my back now. Don’t know what to make of it or whether I should be worried… 😅 I’m 39 weeks today.
