Induction at 37 weeks, previous babies?
Hi, anyone had an induction at 37 weeks after previous vaginal births (spontaneous)?? If so, was it successful or did you end up having an emergency c-section?
I am having an induction next Saturday at 37+3 because my third baby is measuring big (99%) and my second baby was 10lbs 8oz and gave me a third degree tear… so trying to avoid that this time around!
Would love to know how your induction went at this earlier term stage, I know it’s more likely to work if you’ve had previous vaginal births! 🤞🤞🤞 How long did it take? What methods were used? I need to know! 😆♥️♥️

So I was induced a week early at 39 weeks due to reduced movements and mine was up and down but that was more due to the care I received!
My waters broke within 16 hours so of being induced and gave birth 26 hours after that.
I was rushed to theatre as he wasn’t coming out and his own and I ended up having an episiotomy and got him out in two pushed but they said if he didn’t come out in 2 pushes they was also prepping got a c section.

Scrubs fitting larger Dad
Hi all; I’m due to have a C section at RUH Bath in 2 weeks and my husband is very worried about scrubs fitting - he is approx 4XL. Any tips especially from RUh but other hospitals helpful, thanks.

Rolling
My son is nearly 5 months old and he’s not showing any signs of even the slightest bit of being interested in rolling over. I practice with him all the time. I’m an anxious mum and I just worry he’s behind on his milestones😩

Spicy time?? 👀
Obviously I know it’s whenever I feel ready but I had an episiotomy and a 3rd degree tear so when am I okay to even try anything, not even the full thing?

How to round out B belly ?
Has anybody actually found anything that helps to make a B belly baby bump look rounder? I hate that I just looked fat all the way through my first pregnancy ( for reference I'm size 16-18) and want to find something that will smooth out the center line ready for maternity photos this time round? Any advice please?

VBAC
My first pregnancy went fine no complications was having extra scans due to low lying placenta. At 32+4 I had a bleed so went to PAU and was told id be kept in and monitored for 24 hours but whilst in there had another bleed so the decision was made to have an emergency c section. I was told after it was a placenta abruption but they couldn’t confirm the cause baby was in NICU for 4-5 weeks. Im now 23+6 with my second pregnancy and have felt fine throughout, classed as high risk for pre term so under a consultant. I was considering natural delivery but recently have started to get the horrors reading up about VBAC. Would anyone like to share their experience?
