Labor & Birth

Intrigued to know if most people deliver early, go past due or get pretty close to their due dates. Please state if you were induced 💕

I’m a first time mum and I’m not sure what to do. I stood up and water came running down my leg n left my trousers wet, I feel like it was my waters breaking but how can I be sure? My due date is in 2 days

Woke up in the middle of the night to pee afterwards I think I was having contractions that were like mins apart n they were kinda painfull and they were constant but I ended up falling asleep n now woke up n no more contractions?😭 were they contractions in the first place or … I’m 38+3days

Hello ladies, Have you used any scar treatment for your c-section scar? How long after the surgery did you start using it? Recommendations for products are needed please 😊

I am gutted to be told I have to have a planned c section due to baby not in the right position. I'm so nervous. Any tips / advise would be great please. Also did you do a birth plan with c section? Thanks

Yesterday I get a random call from my OBGYN nurse stating I need to schedule my C-SECTION!! I told her for what ???? She tells me she doesn’t know and that she’ll have to speak with my doctor. I told her I’m not scheduling anything until someone give me a legitimate reason why !!! First of all don’t be calling me wi...

I’ve been having contractions since Monday which have ramped up and they’re starting to create more of a pattern. However, they’ve gone through irregular phases and occasionally are 10 mins apart. So exhausted now 😭 lost my mucus plug and hoping things get a shift along…

Soooo I’m in early labor, having mild contractions, and baby is in position, my doctor doesn’t want me to go past 37 weeks but also doesn’t want to induce me. Does anyone have any advice to make labor take the next step?

Just wondering if any of you ladies are finding sex painful since a C-section, baby is 5 months now and we've only done it a few times but each time it's so sore.

I was diagnosed with IUGR (intrauterine growth restriction) at 29 weeks and my daughter was born on 11/7/2024 at 37+1 (I was induced because of the IUGR) and I’m curious if any other November 2024 babies are similar? She was 4lbs 2oz at birth but no NICU time. We are currently at 4lbs 13oz, but she also has a heart ...

I had an emergency c-section with my first as we both had a infection so I was kept in for 2 weeks after so i was just wondering if I have an elective c-section this time around how long i would have to stay in if all goes well?

Has anyone here decided to ask for an elective c-section/elective induction in their third trimester?? I am at my wits end and I’m only 32 weeks, I’m also so small height/weight wise and terrified about baby’s shoulders getting stuck or needing forceps?? I feel like I’ve spent my entire pregnancy in the hospital a...

Hi! I’m due in January! I’m so excited to meet her and also ready to not be pregnant anymore haha. Any other home birth mamas out there?! My first was a hospital birth and this baby will be born at home. Looking to connect with others :)

When are you all starting to pack your hospital bags? I just keep thinking it’s always 40+ weeks until baby will be here and forget that they could come early or need to come early which is quite scary!

Has anyone used Clary Sage to aid labour before? Also did you start putting it into a diffuser from 37 weeks to help bring labour on?

Yep you read that right a fire drill at 3:00am and literally can be heard not only on labor and delivery but on the surgical floor too ( I’m back in the hell hole because of an infection after my c section) that was literally the longest 20 minutes I think of my life listening to that fire alarm and praying it doesn...
