I've been having contractions since Wednesday, and booked in for induction since Sunday for today.
Started having contractions in back as well as pelvis yesterday.
Had the pessary at 11:15 and lost plug at 13:30ish.
Front and back contractions getting more regular and more pressure at the bottom.
Fingers crossed for it to be happening soon 🤞

Awww, congratulations OP. I assume you are going to follow the MN tradition for live labour threads and call her Balonza?

Thank you everyone! So far she's determined to sleep as much as possible and not take to the breast but she's totally fine otherwise.
I'm honestly in such a bubble, she's so worth all the pain and complications

Thank you @Squeakybubbles26 we're doing great! We had to go to hospital during the really hot weather and we caught a bug a couple weeks ago but all better now! Six weeks old today!
She's absolutely gorgeous and I'm more in love with her every day 🥰
