My babyboy failed his 2nd nst test today (32 weeks) and we had to have an ultrasound, a 45 minute long one! That was so painful the nurse was pushing so hard on my stomach and he didn't move until the last minute. I was alone and terrified. She said she saw him move but I didn't feel it at all. She told me I'm good...
Finally after only two minutes of pushing I had my third and finally baby at 21:40. Safe to say I'm in love and can't wait for brother and sister to meet him tomorrow

I would love to know if anyone has a planned induction date and their reasons for choosing so despite the increased risks? I'm trying to make my decision and would just love to hear other people's reasonings and thoughts behind scheduled inductions.
I’m currently 7 weeks pregnant. Today I had a light greenish coloured stringy discharge. Does anybody know what this means? I’ve tried looking online as it’s coming up with possible infection, however I don’t want to jump to conclusions, if anybody could put my mind at some sort of ease i’d be extremely grateful
My husband and I settled on the name Lyra (Lie-rah) as it’s the only girls name we both like 😅 but I have no clue what nickname this name could have. Any suggestions? I know nicknames aren’t necessarily required but I’d love to hear options. ❤️

I’m 4 weeks post emergency c-section Monday, and tonight I felt a bit hot and sweaty.
