It's my second too! With my first I didn't realise it was contractions for ages so every little pain this time I'm like THIS IS IT! 😂 Then nothing comes from it!

I've been getting period cramps on and off for about a week now 😩 Was your first early? x

Awww your bodys definitely getting ready for big day! My first born in 2018 was born 2 weeks late and i had to be induced and ended up with a forceps delivery so this time round i really am fearing labour starting at home as last time i feel like evreything was planned lol wby xxx

@toxitears181
Oh I really hope so 😂 It's much harder second time around with a little one too!
Oh no I'm dreading if I go over 😩 What was the induction like? I bet it was nice knowing which day though and having everything ready. Was it a quick labour?
Mine was born a few days early x

Oh i know definitely mines nearly 4 so its not been too bad but it can be very tiring 😦 the induction process was absolutely fine tbh very smooth and dandy it was a long labour process tho from around 6pm and i didnt have him untill the next day at 12.55pm but i think that was due to the epidural i had how was your last birth xxx

Mine turns 2 in a few months 😩
Ah glad to hear the induction wasn't bad 😊 Good to know if I needed one! Hope labour wasn't too bad even though it was long! How was the epidural?
I didn't have time, I only had gas and air 😂 My contractions started getting bad as I got into hospital and I had her around 6 hours later, she didn't want to wait around.

Awww bless yes induction was not as scary as i thought it would be so dont worry about that :) labour before the epidural was awful but once the epidural was in it was an amazing experience i was pain free and able to enjoy evrey moment up untill he was born which was nice :) and awwww thats good she was born fast xxx

I'm 36 + 3 with my second. Feeling ready now! Everything this time has been more complicated so I'd like a nice simple birth but I think I've got less expectations this time. I just want my baby now!

I sort of feel scared but different to the first time
Like i sort of know what to expect (Hence why I feel so scared still!) but also lower expectations and using what I do know to do things differently

Breath and trust your bodies! We can do this!
We are designed to do this

So I'm more ready than ever which is gearing me up

Every day is a day closer and I feel I'm on a countdown x

I'm due July 27th, baby no.3 for me! First just turned 4 and second will be 2 on 5th! Luckily had great labour experiences in the past so excited for the third (and final!) time. Both born 38 weeks and feel this may follow similar suit as had cramping on and off for past few days. Can't wait for those new born days again. Any FTM you n the thread, try not to be worried or scared of labour- I have watched lots of hypnobirthing videos especially ones by positive birth company whilst pregnant with second and again this time and feel it really helped me during labour to remain calm throughout!
