Labor & Birth

why are people so much more scared of c section birth? I dno Im thinking thats the easier route… vaginal terrifies me… anyone else??

So I’m 39 weeks and am 3 and a half cm dialated and little man is really low, I have been in early labour for a week now so I decided that if he’s not here by Saturday I’m getting induced, though I’m scared so I need some positive induction stories and advice as this is my first baby and I’m nervous

Sorry if this is too much but needing some advice - I’ve been losing my mucus plug since last night and this morning I’ve woke up and this has come out. Does this look normal or too much blood etc? Would you phone the triage? Please help 😩

I’m 36+6 and last night I lost a bit of my mucus plug! Had about 3 period pains/tightenings afterwards but then went to bed and everything has died down. Any experience?
