Early labour
Anyone else stuck in the stop start of early labour? Or have been?
I have a toddler and no family close and I feel awful as I dragged my mum down to stay for a false alarm — I was so convinced it was going to be last night now I’ve woken up and feel guilty as the same thing could happen again tonight

I had contractions start on the 1st (no progression) so was probably prodromal. But have been having stronger ones in the evening/night every night for quite a few days. It's actually the worst, thinking every night "is it today??" It's driving me up the wall!
I feel you! I've lost my 'show' and have low, period like cramps. But feels like Braxton Hicks still, not the 'omg stop you in your tracks' I've been expecting for proper contractions. On tenter hooks! 😬

Period
I’ve had my first period at 2 months PP on the 8th of last month. This month on the 8th it hasn’t arrived yet and it’s now the 12th. Is it normal for periods to be irregular at the moment? We’ve been having sex but condoms and there is no way I’m pregnant! I’m freaking out and don’t know what to do. I been getting cramps since the last few days so I feel like it’s coming but the delay is making it harder to know.

Advice on Naturally Inducing Labour!
Hi everyone! Mama here due in December. I know I’m probably going to get some judgement/hate for this but please hear me out.
Im having a lot of problems with my consultant being very dismissive and disrespectful about my concerns and wishes for birth, Im not high risk so im wanting to induce myself naturally as my consultant refuses to let me get an induction until 39+ weeks. Now my baby is measuring almost a month ahead and I feel like it’s pretty dangerous if I let her go for that long with how big she is and I’m not wanting an emergency c-section or a section at all if I can avoid it, so I’d like to try to induce naturally around 36-37 weeks, so I’d like to start gathering tips, tricks and advice to induce labour naturally, what worked for you? What didn’t work? Tell me all the secrets
