Induction at NSECH?

Has anyone been induced at NSECH recently? How did it go?

I’m booked for an induction today (41W) but the lack of communication is making me nervous and not knowing whether I’ll be called in today.

It’s my second baby - I went into spontaneous labour at 39 weeks with my first so this is such a bewildering experience!

I did, I went in for an induction on 30th January, was induced on the 31st and had my little boy early hours of the 1st. I was 39 weeks exactly when I went in

I was the first scheduled however I was the last to be induced, I couldn't fault the team whatsoever and the midwives I ended up having to deliver were amazing. Best of luck to you!!

I had an induction at 39 weeks 2 months ago at NSECH. I was told I would get a call on the Monday. I had to ring up a few times as I had heard nothing. I didn’t get told to come in until 9 pm. When I got admitted I was examined and already was 2cm so didn’t require the balloon.

After surgery underwear

Does anyone have any suggestions or recommendations for the best type of underwear to get to wear during c section recovery?

98th percentile baby!

So I’m 34 weeks and baby has been measuring large (only his tummy) since 2 growth scans ago which is bringing him to the 98th percentile and currently guessed at 5.6lbs!
My first baby was born at 7.11lbs so they have said he is big for my gestation in comparison

I am in so much pain and have been in preterm labour since 29 weeks so the contractions have been awful but never any progression! And his movements have slowed right down despite positive CTG and scans showing he is okay

Has anyone had this with baby? Gestational test was negative and I have a blood sugar test on Saturday

I have a midwife appointment and I’m wondering about requesting induction at 37 weeks ( I had my last at 38 weeks and almost ended up in a C section as my pelvis was to narrow and be kept getting stuck) so I’m getting very anxious about trying to deliver an even bigger baby!!

Thankyou in advance

C-Section date

I have had my obstetrician appointment at 36+5 days to request my elective c section.

The consultant requested the surgery for the 1st October making me 38+5 days on the day of surgery. But she did caution that it may be between the 1st-8th depending on theatre availability.
How many people got honoured the date they requested, and how many requested a specific date and was given a different date?

help 🥲

I’m currently 33 weeks pregnant and I keep having pains in my back/side and it’s exactly like a cramp and it feels as if that part of my back seizes up and tightens and I can’t get rid of the pain, has anyone else had this and if so do you know how to get rid of it 😫 it’s been like this for over a week now, I can’t do anything without it getting triggered, I feel like it may be from the position baby girl is in but I feel so helpless I’m in pain literally everyday 🥲

Scared to remove c section bandage

The midwife told me to remove it on day 5. I had my c section Monday morning so does that mean today or tomorrow?

Gripe water

Has anyone given gripe water to their 3 week old? My little boy appears to be struggling with trapped wind. He’s currently on aptamil and absolutely guzzles it like he’s never been fed but then I find he struggles with winding following a bottle and also is now only going for poos every two to three days which I think is also making him uncomfortable.
