Tips to induce labour
Im 40 weeks on Sunday and have a C-section booked for Tuesday. I don’t want the section but because of previous C-section due to preemie baby I’m not allowed to be induced - either by body goes into labour naturally or C-section :( - I have a needy toddler at home so would prefer natural in terms of recovery!
Please give me all your tips 🙏🏼

Why don’t you push back to 41 weeks? You’ll hardly even be overdue on Tuesday!
No tips as I’ve never gone into labour naturally.. but just wanted to reassure you that if you do end up with the c-section, your toddler will adjust.
I also have an extremely needy girl and she has done absolutely incredible. Yes it’s hard, but I’m 6 days post c-section and already feeling back to normal. X
I’m 41 + 2 and hanging in there wanting to avoid induction. Perfectly normal and healthy to have a baby at 42 weeks as long as you and baby are healthy. If it were me, I’d give yourself more time

Private scan
Has anyone else paid for a scan and not been able to see baby’s face? My partner feels like it was a waste of money I see where he’s coming from but I’m just glad I got to hear baby’s heart beat and seeing the baby moving. What would you do?

Toddlers are something else 😭🤣
I’m just sitting here minding my own business at 8 months pregnant and my toddler comes up to me and says “who got you pregnant”!!!
I looked at her like “what” and she repeated herself so I said “her daddy”! So she said “why did my daddy get you pregnant” 😳
So I said “I don’t know”! She says “it’s fine I will call him and ask him”…. She grabs my phone calls her dad who’s at work and he was sounded mortified, when she said “why did you get my mummy pregnant”! I couldn’t fully remember what he said because I couldn’t stop laughing!!! Nothing can prepare you to be a parent to a toddler!! 😭😂

Lighting crotch has been so intense all morning 😭
It’s been so bad that my toddler has asked me what’s wrong multiple times this morning! I’m 35 weeks and I’ve been okay until today!
