What week did everyone lose their mucus plug and how soon did you go into labour after that?
So I have two kiddos now 4 (vaginal birth) and an 11 month old next month (c-section birth) and I'm due with #3 in 3.5 weeks and want to try a vbac because personally my c section was WAYYYY more painful and miserable afterwards than my vaginal delivery and I'm terrified to have a c section ever again. Does anyone h...
Anyoneās contractions start as little needle-like stings in their stomach? At this point, Iām thinking anything can be a contraction lol.

How long did everyone bleed after a c section? I'm just curious due to the fact is I'm 4 days post c section and I'm not bleeding anymore but it could be due to the fact I got nexplanon before I left the hospital.
Been having mild contractions since around 11pm they started around 7pm but very very light(like very mild period cramps). From 11pm onwards they progressed to a mild/moderate pain and I only started monitoring them this last hour. Does it look as if I need to call hospital ? I have had no other signs no mucus plug ...
Anyone else baby still breech? Iām 36 weeks 5 days. Is there any hope or chance baby can still turn heads down?
I canāt believe heās finally here! Woke up at around 6am on the 24th with contractions unexpectedly without any hint of labour the days before. Didnāt lose my mucus plug, wasnāt dilated and my waters hadnāt gone! They were coming in at 2/3 minutes apart so I dropped my toddler off at my in laws and made my way to th...
I had my second section 4 days ago. My OB removed all the keloid scaring from my previous section. I'm finding this time around recovery is more difficult. I'm bruised everywhere and in so much pain.. any helpful tips to help with recovery? I feel like it's much slower this time then it was the first time.
Would love to see others birth plan and what you felt was important to include. Those who have delivered already did the hospital honor your wishes as long as it was not medically necessary to make changes?

I brought up my concerns with my birth plan with my OB, I'm expecting to be induced after I had an elective c-section last time, and she showed me they have a VBAC calculator to give odds that a vaginal delivery would be successful and it came out to only 20%. I still want to try and I plan to start drinking red ra...

Hiya everyone, has anyone got any advice im 3 weeks postpartum and my c section scar is still really painful and sore. It feels like it did when i first got out of hospitalš© Iāve had extra painkillers but nothing seems to be working to reduce the pain. Has anyone else been like this? X
Hello all I am 34 + 1 today and I just went for a wee I wiped and got up washed my hands and felt a tiny bit of watery discharge run down my leg. Is this normal? Google is saying itās a sign that labour is near?!š
Iām 28 weeks pregnant and will be going for my second c section end of dec/Jan time. It is an elective. Previously had c section that was elective but then went to emergency. Iām just thinking how on earth will I cope with a toddler who likes to be picked up and cuddles. He will need to be picked up such as gettin...
