48 hour labour from induction due to preeclampsia and we have our baby girl a whole 16 days early. I’m in love

I miscarried in April and struggled a lot We haven’t been actively trying but I have just found out we’re pregnant So so grateful but also an absolute wreck it’s going to happen again Haven’t had a period since miscarriage Not sure how far gone I am Test says 2-3 but not sure if that is accurate Any ideas?

I went to the toilet for a pee, while I was peeing I felt a slight pop and possibly a separate stream of water. Does this sound like my waters breaking? I’ve been having some back contractions and tightenings around my stomach over the last couple of days.

Can’t believe it, being induced tonight! Anyone got some positive stories for me and must haves to pack for an induction?! 🥰🤞

How long was your hospital stay for an elective section?

I had my sweep today at 11:30 all went well as midwife said I’m 1cm dilated or something some stuff she mentioned I didn’t understand everything as it’s my first but she was very happy … just wanna know how did everyone feel after a sweep and when they started noticing a difference or feeling different? 💙

I never counted kicks all pregnancy and now I’m getting close to my due date I’m regretting not doing it. It says your supposed to get 10 kicks an hour which I certainly don’t think I feel… are you counting kicks and if so how many roughly an hour? I’m 34+4

Just had my 34 week midwife appt . Baby still in the transverse position been told not to worry but I can't stop. I know it doesn't matter an till 36 weeks .. but I'm so worried I'm going to need a c section .. should I be worring told there's nothing that I can do to help baby get in the right position

26 weeks First time mum having to wait till Thursday for my prescription of aspirins just as my mum had preeclampsia, so have gone to b&m and bought these, they be okay for few days won’t they x sorry if I’m sounding silly I’m just a worrier 😬😅

Is there a checklist for a hospital bag? Can you all help me with what I need for my hospital bag please. I’m in panic mode

Getting induced tonight. I'm 38 weeks today, not sure what to expect but so ready to meet my baby girl. Hope all you mamas are good!

I’m 38+3 days and have already been booked in for a c-section on my due date! They won’t push my section any closer and frankly I can’t take being pregnant much longer with the hot weather, sleepless nights and inability to drink proper or eat proper. I’ve been told it’s safe to self induce but what can I actually d...

I'm nearly 4 weeks pp and instead of bleeding now I get this light brownish discharge. I still get the occasional blood looking bits, but nothing like it was at the beginning. Is it like the end of a period where the colour changes as you're finishing?

I am 36 weeks and my mucus plug last week. My belly has dropped. I have also had braxton hicks for about 5 days now. Are these signs or am I just wishful thinking?🤞🏻🤣

37 weeks tomorrow and am wondering do you have to lose mucus plug before labor starts? or it can come out during labor?

Quick question ladies If your 37 weeks pregnant and you go into labour would you have to go hospital or the midwife led centre. Google tells me 37 weeks is full term but not sure where I would need to go. I want to give birth in midwife centre.

Is it weird that I don’t really care to have a baby shower but I would like the gifts 😅 okay hear me out…. So I’m creating a baby registry and sending it to my friends and family. Who ever wants to bless my little man and I I’ll greatly appreciate…. But I really don’t see myself spending all that money in a baby…

I’m going shopping tomorrow and wondering where everyone has got their nursing bras from?? Ideally would like to be measured as well so somewhere that could do that too would be a bonus!! Thanks you 🥰🥰
