Positive induction stories

Hi everyone! I’m currently 37+2 and getting induced in 2 days time due to recurrent reduced fetal movement. Hoping to hear some positive induction stories of anyone who’s gone through it before? I was hoping to be able to go naturally before then, but midwife couldn’t do a sweep today as not even 1cm 😭

Is daily ctg an option for you? I had an induction for reduced fetal movement at 39+5 and unfortunately was unsuccessful - could you request a scan if not already had to check babies position / blood flow between baby cord and placenta etc? If sweeps have been unsuccessful then pessary gel may not be best option for induction, maybe worth looking into if you could have dilapan or something to get the cervix open first? 🙏🏻

Think they’re hoping to start with the balloon, they said my cervix is in right position just needs opening! Been having CTGs every few days and just not meeting full criteria

Ideal party time? (Help please)

I am trying to plan my daughter’s birthday party for when she turns 2. The play area I want to book offers 1 hour 45 min slots at either 13:30 or 15:45. There will be children mainly around the age of 2, but others ages 1-3 as well. I know nap times will vary, and most live less than 30 mins away. Which time do you all think sounds preferable?

How are you getting on with your partner?

I feel at constant loggerheads at the moment, all we do is argue and get angry each other. It’s completely down to sleep deprivation and stress but this doesn’t make it any easier when thinking about it. Just want things to go back to normal.

Wait between 12 and 20 week scan

Hi ladies, I’ve had my 12 weeks scan and all looked ok. I don’t know how I’m going to manage 8 weeks without a scan?! I’ve already had a lot of anxiety from this pregnancy as it’s been a really difficult journey. How do you guys manage and get reassurance that baby is ok? Any advice would be appreciated! Xx

Scan at 5 weeks 4 days help!

I’ve had a reassurance scan today as have had previous losses but only a sac and yolk could be seen…
The lady was quite harsh and just rebooked me for 2 weeks time

Googling seems to say this is right until the 6 week mark?!

Anyone been here before?!
