VBAC/waters being broken

So I’m overdue at 41+3, I’m attempting VBAC, and was scheduled for today to be induced but they had a space last night in the birthing centre so been in since yesteday evening. They noticed while trying for 2hours to get a baseline CTG for my baby (they were having a party), that I was having regular contractions 🤣 so left me and kept checking to see if I actually needed the balloon, I’m at 2cm and they’re happy to pop my waters instead and skip the balloon! 🙌🏽 has anyone got any positive stories when it comes to breaking theirs? Last time mine went naturally and my contractions came 5 in 10 straight away so a bit nervous something similar happens again, it was excruciating 🥲🤣

1st birthday

This is my sons invitation I had to crop out some of it because of the address but our theme is “one little meatball” we are Italian so I thought it was perfect 🤣. Yes we do have a chef outfit for him haha. I’m so sad he is growing up so quickly my emotions are crazy :(

My turn 😮‍💨

Posted in the last 24hrs about booking an induction and wanting things to happen naturally, well I don’t think the induction I have booked for Sunday is going to be needed 🥹😮‍💨

Definitely having contractions (have been to maternity), 2cm but need contractions to be stronger which since we got home (naturally 🤡) they are!

1am bath time to try to relax and dull the pain a bit 🤞🏻

Tips of how to survive first trimester with a toddler?

I have a 19 mo and I'm 6 weeks pregnant. I've hit the sickness and fatigue stage. Any tips on how to survive this time with a very active toddler?

Having my head hung in a toilet with my LO banging the lid on my head was not a part of motherhood I was prepared for 😆

She hasn't mastered independent play yet so relies heavily on me for stimulation. We do go to a playgroup or playdate most days but that is becoming harder for me right now.

I have no village, and hubby works full time and is home around 6pm. Bedtime is 7pm and I have to currently cosleep so I only get that hour break.

Any tips welcome
