I'm 36+4 (second pregnancy, first was a miscarriage at 10 weeks) I'm absolutely terrified of Labour as I don't know what to expect. I know I'm probably being stupid but I just need reassurance has anyone been this scared for Labour? How bad can it be..

View 2 RepliesIm 39+6 and had a sweep this morning. Turns out at my sweep I was already 3cm dilated.
Midwife has said just go home and see what happens but could still be a few days until anything happens.
Since getting home I've had constant cramps. Is this the start of it all?
Has anyone had a similar experience? Or after having a sweep how long until you went into labour?

View 1 RepliesI'm 37 weeks pregnant and I'm being induced this Sunday coming (19th of April)
This is my first baby, and I have no idea what to expect.
Like I know the basics, they're going to use the tape first for 24 hours (checking me every 12 hours) and then if that doesn't work I get the gel for another 24 hours (again checking me every 12 hours)
And once I'm 3 cm Dilated they will break my waters, and put me on a drip to help bring on contractions..
I need someone who has either been Induced and or been Induced and had a natural labour.
I just want to know what I should expect happen, and does it hurt more being induced or just having Bub come natural. And what I can do once the tape is in to help speed up the labour.

View 1 RepliesDid anyone feel really rubbish before going into labour? I'm 40+6 and started feeling awful a few hours ago. I managed some sleep but am pretty achy (period pain like) and just generally feel terrible (exhausted/flu like) but have had no good contractions. This is my 4th baby, but I don't remember ever feeling rubbish beforehand.
View 4 RepliesCan some of you ladies who have had c sections tell me what to expect? Out of this entire pregnancy I think that is the only part that really scares me half to death.
I'd love to hear your stories & how long it too you to recover.
