@2020mission i am booked in on monday for my c-section and yesterday had 2 different phonecalls from the royal with different times one said 7.30am other 11am... the lady who said 7.30am said to go with 11am as they must be deciding the order agreed total nightmare i was planning calling tomorrow to double check on the time

Also noticed a change in my boobs they have went sore and hard... i think i might be in the early stages was anyone else the same? I was induced last time so i dont have a clue, for me last time it was pessary 20 mins later water broke but then all the complications started. So im very nervous to go to sleep

@julzx I had my mucus plug go first. Then on dec 15th @ 6:35am my waters broke. Called triage and was told to come in. But day before my waters broke my back was hurting. Didn't notice anything with boobs. I was contracting quite bad in 14th dec but didnt need to go into hospital. When I got to hospital on 15th the induced me to lower the risk of infection. Dilated so quick. Then my complications happened. My actual labour was quick. They say all in all I was in labout for an hour

Hi girls, I'm just on the antenatal ward at my hospital waiting to be taken up to the labour ward! I'm still 2cm dilated, but I don't need any other form of induction and can just have my waters broken straight away!! Hopefully won't be waiting too long xx

Decadesbcun · 19/12/2021 15:10

@lovebeingmum9 congratulations on your arrival. Oscar is a lovely name.

@cutejeans eeek exciting. Hope you’re doing ok.

@julzx hopefully not long for you either!

I am just so fed up now. Lots of small niggly things going on but nothing I would say is progress. Been sick a few times last few days, lots of braxton hicks, backache at times.

Today I went to the supermarket and when I left I had a panic attack in the car and couldn’t wait to just get to home and be safe. Maybe that’s the hunkering down instinct I’ve been told about.

Either way I’m not sure that this baby will arrive before Christmas Sad

JW2021 · 19/12/2021 15:17

Hey julzx
Your not alone….. my belly’s doing absolutely O….. I thought I was the only one left on this thread! I bought pineapple juice & a box of dates - going for a walk in a bit too ….I’m sure it’s all make believe but can’t stand playing this waiting game!
Good luck all you ladies in labor ❤️

xTinkerbell · 19/12/2021 16:09

@2020mission what did you end up doing? Tbf my experience at qeuh has been very mixed. Some things great, others not so much.

@lovebeingmum9 congratulations on Oscar! Hope you’re doing okay

I'm still waiting on the antenatal ward to be taken to get my waters broken on the labour ward🙄 They said it'll probably be in the night that they come and take me up, just want to get going now🤣 going to have a sleep then hopefully they'll wake me up and it'll be time to go x

@xTinkerbell I haven't called yet I'm actually considering asking to delay the induction as I'm really uncomfortable with the timing and I don't think it's going to work. I'm signing up for spending 23-26th in hospital on my own if I agree to it. Partners can visit for 2 hour slots twice a day only.

Congratulations on little Jack arriving @LouLou0505 💙 enjoy this time!

burtle4 · 19/12/2021 20:29

Congratulations @LouLou0505, he's gorgeous!

Curlymam88 · 19/12/2021 20:36

@LouLou0505 congratulations on Little Jack. He is gorgeous. I found keeping mobile after my c section did me good, and also keep on top of the painkillers. Even if they don't offer them to you ask for them. Rather than getting to the point where you're getting pain. Im 2 weeks post c section and feeling pretty tip top compared to my first c section I had 9 years ago.

@LouLou0505 aww what a cutie sweetie. Congratulations and well done. Jack looks adorable. Was there a reason you had to have emergency c section

JW2021 · 19/12/2021 23:05

OMG! Baby Jack is simply adorable……planing on the same name too! Poor you emergency CS - why do they do I this - it’s the year 2021 folks! Rest & recover Loulou0505 - congrats amazing news! 👶🏻💙

Theawkwardblonde · 20/12/2021 09:15

@JW2021 you're not the only one! I'm still here and very pregnant unfortunately.

Up 11 times in the night I was that uncomfortable. Like a bear with a sore head this morning. Spent an hour crying as in that fed up of not sleeping 😞 just want this baby out! Even resorted to awkward pregnant sex to get it to come but it hasn't worked 😂😂

@lovebeingmum9 sorry it's late but massive congratulations!

@cutejeans very exciting! Hope all goes well!

@LouLou0505 aww congratulations!!

@Theawkwardblonde aww bless you hun. Have you tried to eat pineapple? I reckon baby will come soon because I was like that. X

OP posts:
Theawkwardblonde · 20/12/2021 10:55

@jadey1991 tried everything. Pineapple, lots of raspberry leaf, nipple stimulation, expressing, I already walk about 4 miles every day. Bouncing on my exercise ball, sex, spicy food, sideways up stairs.

Open to any other suggestions/old wives tales 🤣🤣🤣

lovebeingmum9 · 20/12/2021 11:15
