Little boy is here via induction

Hi, moms! My little one is here! He was born on October 26, though he was due on October 31. I was induced because of gestational diabetes.

The induction was successful, but it was brutal. I spent about three days in the hospital starting labor from zero.

Besides the gestational diabetes, my little pumpkin is small… He’s 5 lbs. 13 oz., but he’s a healthy, tough little guy. I am
So in love with him. 💙👶🍼

Good luck for all the October mommas!!

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?

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 😭

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.

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?!
