I just want it to be my time already
I feel you hun. That was me. I finally delivered at 41 + 4.🫠 The miles circuit is definitely a good thing to do at least once a day. But really once things do start happening ( mucous plug, water breaking) it will kind of just go steady from there. As hard as it is, being patient with your baby and body, relaxing as much as you can while still working your pelvis in your spare time, it will all work out for a beautiful delivery. Just trust and stay positive 🫶🏽
Do more sexy time the semen eats away at the cervix. Pineapple juice, bouncing, walking, stretches.
Yoga & bouncy balls
Yes have more sexy time with ur bf & pump! I was barely a 1 last week, had sexy time and I was pumping colostrum. 3 days later I woke up to contractions and was dilated to a 7 when I went to the hospital!

VBAC denial because hospital doesn’t want to take the risk
So this a little bit of a rant but also want to see what others think. I had a C-section because I was induced (had gestational doctor told me I basically had no option of induction). The induction was super stressful lasted almost 3 whole days. I was 6cm dilated by day 1 lasted 2 days with no progression. Baby was never in distress but because they broke my water and I didn’t want to stay in the hospital for longer I ended up in a C-section. I got told by the surgeon I could try for a natural delivery next pregnancy and to wait a year to get pregnant again. Fast forward to now I’m 19 weeks pregnant different hospital and OB. At my initial appointment OB said she was fine with me trying for a VBAC. I go into my appointment today and ask about my delivery because I am trying to get a doula covered for the birth just to get told the hospital doesn’t allow VBACS and so it’s not an option. I wish they would have told me then and not halfway through my pregnancy now I’m extremely stressed because I feel like the choice is being taken away from me just like my last pregnancy. I’m stuck trying to find a different OB mid pregnancy that will take my insurance or going into a birthing house that only does unmedicated labor which I don’t even know if I can because of my prior C-section. I’m so frustrated and angry at this heath care system that does not care about mothers everything is done to save their asses and fuck what happens to the patient. Sorry for long post just needed to get it out.

Wanting a VBAC
Hiya ladies I’m currently 39 weeks and 4 days I have opted for a VBAC I had my first child last year in April
I was hopeful for a VBAC at the beginning of this second pregnancy as baby is not breech this time round however as I’m getting close to my due date as well as being in the early labour phase for the last 2 weeks and still stuck at 2cm I’m becoming worried as I’ve been told if I go to 41 weeks they may have to induce me but there are risks of scar rupture leading to an emergency c section anyway.
Today it’s really been sitting on my mind as I’ve been in and out of hospital recently with pains but no progress in dilation so it’s really making me out way my options for a VBAC, hence was wondering if anyone has any positive induction stories after having a c section xz

Boy name suggestions?
I have a name chosen if baby is a girl but no idea if it’s a boy! Big sister is called Isolde, any suggestions? It would need to be a similar vibe - traditional but unusual (the name Isolde has Celtic roots and is from the Arthurian legend Tristan and Isolde).

Acid
Anyone else having acid come up your throat you just have to let it out. It only seems to happen to me in the middle of the night recently
