Iāv been having regular contractions for over three hours and the home-birth midwife will be checking on me soon. But my waters havenāt gone and not sure if Iāve lost my mucus plug either.

But unfortunately back in August of 2023 I was in a very bad car accident that resulted in a pelvis/hip fracture and an acetabular fracture. Doctors said my chances of a c-section is high due to my pelvis injuries. They are afraid my pelvis is...
I went in Wednesday they found protein in my urine and then decided to schedule an induction. Yesterday I started having a very mild but lingering headache.

My husband and I had sex last night for the first time in like a month. It felt really different than the last time. Like I felt like I couldnāt feel it as ...
