Little Lola 🩷 She arrived via c section on Monday 25th September

I’ve been up all night with contractions, they are now 3-4 minutes apart and lasting 30-40 seconds. My doctor said I don’t have to come in yet because they aren’t lasting a minute yet. They did say if I feel like I am in labor I can come in and check me but I don’t want to make the drive to get sent back home. How d...

I was told to get sweeps from 39 weeks which is today. I was told to ring this morning to get a time. I have phoned multiple numbers today, if I’ve been able to speak to anyone all they’ve done is give me a different number to try. I’m at a loss, I just want a sweep 😭 I know there’s a clinic at a place in town…

Is it necessary to pack vests and babygrows in baby’s hospital bag? I have currently just packed babygrows but keep reading lists with vests on too to layer underneath.

I had my boy 11 weeks early via emergency section, Hes doing so well🥲 Currently in icu 2 hours from home but my little warrior is going strong! Trying to split myself in half as my 11 month old daughter is in my hometown and I'm currently staying about 15 minute car ride from the hospital, days here, days at…

Here he is. 40 +5 after 3 sweeps weighing 6lb 9 oz after being told he was possibly a big baby as off the chart on measurements. A total of 1 hour of labour after an induction and 3 day slow labour with my first. Totally in love

I’m booked in for a elective c section at harlow hospital I’m 38 weeks pregnant and still haven’t heard a date yet. Does anyone know when they give you a date now? Thank you x

How do you know when to start a contraction timer? Obviously never been through it before 😂 is it just as soon as you feel something?

I went into the hospital today for a 2nd attempt at a sweep but they told me my cervix was still too closed to do it. I have been away from the hospital a couple of hours now, felt a searing/stabbing pain in my left ovary/groin area which made me scream. I went to the toilet and quite a big piece of mucous plug has ...

Hey guys! So our identical twin girls are born via c-section on 28/09/23 at exact 34 weeks. Both are currently in Neonatal Unit and doing well. All the best to all the mamas 💕

I'm 40+2 and was expecting a sweep today but my midwife said no. I haven't particularly been impressed with her anyway she's dropped the ball a few times. She said no to me because she didn't want to induce me and just hope it goes natural. Surely that's my decision to make? I have a section booked in for Thursday b...

Hi, has anyone had similar looking ultrasounds where baby’s lips look absolutely huge? I’m 36+4, baby measuring 97th centile. Sonographers had a giggle because baby always pouting in scans but I’m worried these look abnormally big. Not much I can do either but just looking for a bit of reassurance that the scan can...

I had my baby girl by emergency C section on Wednesday. She is currently nameless😆 any suggestions?

Can I see people's bumps? I feel big for being 20 weeks but been 7 years since I had a baby so can't really remember how big I was back then lol I have my 20 week scan today find out gender to 😁

I had an emergency c-section with my little boy July 2022. I'm due my 2nd baby and have a c-section booked in for 8 weeks time. The consultant said it will be a lot safer for me to have a planned c-section this time due to being so soon after my first baby. And that my uterus could rupture if I went for vaginal birt...

Baby boy made it into the world a few weeks early due to complications with his heart rate. He was delivered emergency c section and had the cord wrapped around his neck. He was only 3 weeks early but he never had any steroid shots or anything and unfortunately his lungs still were not developed enough 😭 they first…
