Labor & Birth

Today at 2.01 pm, baby Isabella was born via elective C-section! Thank you for all your advice and help, I'm actually really grateful I chose the c-section. Happy to share experience

Tomorrow I will be 34 weeks and I was just admitted to the hospital. They are hoping to get me to Sunday before baby boy comes so I can get two rounds of steroids. Anyone have a baby born at 34 weeks before? Will he be okay? Will he need to go to the NICU? I'm freaking out. Nothing is ready. I didn't set the carseat...

I ended up having my baby early via emergency c-section so we were in special care for the first 10 days of little ones life, got discharged on day 10 and now we are back on children's ward on day 12 as he can't maintain body temperature 😭 I'm so scared

Did anyone have staples with their c section

Hey ladies, so I’m 39 weeks on Monday and I have been trying to not persuade myself into an elective section but I suffer really bad with anxiety and I literally can’t stop crying at the fear of the unknown. I want to feel in control and have a date booked to have my baby, I know it’s not the easy way out at all but...

Hi Girls, I am 39 weeks pregnant today and I feel calm about labour. Only thing is I feel like when my waters do break, I’ll go into panic mode. Have you got any advice what to do?

Has anyone been to Centre Parcs whilst pregnant? I'm looking at going at the end of June and I'll be 27 weeks. It's not clear on the website what activities I can or can't do. I emailed them but their response was simply, the information is there on the website and you'll need to fill out medical forms before activi...

What’s everyone packing in their hospital bags & when are you packing them?

Did anyone else have a strong reaction to their induction with the propess pessary? I was induced back in January and reacted very quickly to the very first pessary that was inserted. Within two hours I was contracting 7 times in every 10 minute window. Baby girl arrived happy and healthy, just interested to know if...

I’m a ftm and was told I’ll need to be induced at 39 weeks.

So having your first child is always the most important thing to a first time mother. My first I’m so excited 😆 so nervous and just so many emotions going through my head my body I just want to be prepared. I’ve seen so many videos and list on what I need but I don’t want to over do it or under do it. My question…

I’ve tried to call the after hours line twice and it’s giving us problems and can’t get a hold of anybody! Hopefully someone can call me back soon, in the meantime maybe someone has had a similar experience? I went to the toilet to pee and it felt like I needed to more so then a gush came out but then when it stopp...

Screw prodromal labor. Showing contractions on the monitor but not dilating any. It’s all in my back as well which makes this worse as nothing at home helps. 😭

Moms of twins who are petite (I’m 5’0 with a short torso) when did you deliver ? My last singleton baby I went 38 weeks however I’m already 19 weeks and almost the ending weight I was with him . I remember how painful it was with just carrying him I can’t imagine if my body can take carrying 2 to 38 weeks
