Labor & Birth

hello! i’m a mom to be very soon, had a scan today my baby girl is measuring 4,400 kg (9,7pounds), im 38 weeks right now, to be induced next thursday. my concern is i’m a very small person, i am afraid i won’t be able to birth her naturally, if i HAVE to have a c section i absolutely will but id love to give natural...

I’m 29 weeks and 6 days and was told that I was in early labour yesterday morning by triage and was kept in overnight to monitor as I thought I lost my mucus plug. nothing at all happened during the night my pain stopped no waters broke and definitely no contractions I wish they felt so painless like the pains i was...

I'm just looking for everybody's experiences here.. If you went for a VBAC and experienced scar rupture, how much time between deliveries were you? Please feel free to share your experiences ♥️

Ok so when I have sex it hurts! It never hurt before but since my c section 1 and a half years ago it has hurt! Is this normal?! Do I just need to let it hurt for it to stretch and feel good again? I’m also on the depo and after orgasms will bleed for 1 or 2 days same with after sex? Do I need to see someone or as I...

y’all probably see my posts all the time (sorry😅) but i had a sweep wednesday, and have been labouring since thursday morning during the night. that was when contractions started, i entered the latent phase of labour. i went to triage as they were every 2-5 minutes, but they gradually became more irregular, and…

So ive been told you're meant to wait 1 year to 18 months in between babies, does this mean in between giving birth and getting pregnant? Or in between giving birth and giving birth again? My babies almost 8 months, we wanted to start trying again on their 1st birthday but not sure if that's too soon and a bit dang...

I’m having contractions and I have for weeks but there getting more painful and I think there closer but I don’t know how to count how close they are. Any tips on how to count them or should I just go in? I’m 38 weeks and getting induced the 1st.

Hi all I’m sure this has been asked many times however I’m thinking about baby 2 - my first lo was born via emergency c section and is a year old, I’m a bit nervous - has anyone been through this or did they wait longer ?

Morning ladies, I’m booked in for a ECV next week, could really do with some positivity and information on people’s experiences if you’ve had one done.. (I’ll be 37 weeks on the day) was yours successful?? How soon after if successful did you go into labour? baby was head down most of my pregnancy and within the la...

I know, I know it’s crazy early but has anyone started thinking about this yet ? Or even perhaps gathering bits ?

I’ve had a call this morning from MAC to say a swab I had done last week is positive for Group B strep. It’s taken away the option of a homebirth which I couldn’t decide about so is probably helpful, but I’m wondering if anyone has had the antibiotics before and knows whether you need to let them know as soon as you...

I was originally thinking to try and get pregnant next month for a Feb baby and babies be 18 months apart but I feel like I need my body back longer first 😩 anyone have 2 kids and recommend a good age difference? Don't want them to be too far apart in age but mama needs a break! I'm still breastfeeding too

I’ve had 1 proper period since my C section in November, but haven’t had one since, that was about a month ago, i’m normally dead on with my cycles but i seem to be late, is this normal to have irregular cycles at this stage or did everyone’s period go back to normal after c sections?

I started contractions sometime after 2 am but I started counting them at 4 when I finally got out of bed and got my phone. From 4 to 5 they where exactly 10 mins apart and from 5 to know they have been every 5 - 6 mins apart. I think it is happening. Also when I when to get my phone I had a trip to the restroom and...

So, my little girl has tried to come twice already once at 25 weeks the next at 32 weeks. Now I’m coming up 37 weeks and she’s trying to break my water but she seems to have trouble. With my first pregnancy I never healed properly and I’m wondering is that could be an issue. Also my hip keeps popping out of place an...

Today I was told that I would need to have my baby at 38 weeks due to previous birth complications and gestational diabetes. I am so torn on what to do. I have heard being induced is really painful but on the other hand the recovery time and risks of infection etc from a C section are a lot higher. If anyone has b...
