Pessary

For those that have had their induction and babies how many pessaries did you have? My hospital said no more than 2 but I’ve seen so many ladies on here say they had 3 or 4 after the first few failed now I just feel like I was robbed of my birth (ended in having to have a c section which they knew I was completely against having due to mental health)
I feel like I missed out on enjoying birth and the first few weeks after that because it knocked my mental health so much not being able to do anything for my baby and having to have nurses and BD do everything for me and being so isolated (friends and family live 40 minutes to an hour from from us and I’m the only one that drives in my relationship)

Help

I was getting pretty painful period cramps and during those, I had painful lower back cramps. I had these on and off for like a few hours so from about 10:30pm to 1am?

I’ve had no show, or anything like that.

Is this braxton hicks or early labour pains?

Little girl turning herself sideways in next to me

My little girl tonight, has spun herself so she is lying sideways in her next to me, making me panic!

Is this normal at 4.5 months, do I just lie her back normally/vertically?

Labour??

I’ve had on/off mild period cramps since 9 last night, very irregular and very mild, but I just had one that woke me up. My waters haven’t gone and nor has my mucous plug… but could this be a sign that it’s close?! I’m 40+3 and desperate to meet her!

Caffeine addiction suuucks. (Coffee)

I'm off of literally everything. Don't smoke, no medicine, don't drink except VERY rare occasion, nothing. I drink a large coffee everyday (usually mcdonalds or 7 brew)... or a couple cups of coffee at home if I don't get out. Today I had neither and I was OUT FOR THE COUNT. Awful headache, no motivation, throwing up. Then I drink coffee and it's instantly better. 🙃 coffee is one hell of a drug I tell ya.
