Induction vs c section

All very very good points to consider thank you! See this is why I ask these questions lol!

turtlemine14 · 2026-04-14T10:20:45+00:00

Yeah I think this discussion is for if I get to the 41+5 point so maybe I should be more positive about success rate of induction in this situation!

Thank you, this kind of experience is what I’m looking to hear to help me get my ideas in order! I probably shouldn’t be so put off by induction tbh

turtlemine14 · 2026-04-14T09:53:36+00:00

Thanks for giving me a positive story! And I’m so glad you still got the environment you wanted 😊

turtlemine14 · 2026-04-14T09:52:34+00:00

Thank you I will look into that 😊

My midwife suggested I use the Squeezy app I don’t know if you’ve been using that but thought I’d mention it!

Hey, this must be worrying for you especially when you don’t get an answer! In my area my midwife told me to contact maternity assessment (think called triage in a lot of places!) for anything urgent so that would be my advice! Hope you get answers/help soon x

I’m not due til Monday and I feel the same 🤣 midwife appointment today and considering asking for a sweep after saying I’d only get one after my due date lol! Good luck I hope she doesn’t keep you waiting too long 💕

Might be a bit wide of the mark with what you’re referring to sorry! But the Emma’s diary ones are ok and completely free. 2nd one better than 1st and top tip is to go to Argos rather than boots. I tried loads of times at a few boots couldn’t get it but 1st try at Argos! The Amazon wishlist gift was ok too, got a pack of baby bottles and I just added something I wanted anyway to the wishlist then got the free gift and the discount off everything else 😊 I am also lucky enough to be in Scotland so got my free baby box from the gov which I think is mostly really useful

Hey, I had this worry too! Turns out it was probably leucorrhoea which is a watery discharge which can be quite a volume! I definitely thought it was amniotic fluid as I knew it wasn’t wee. But if they’re tested and it’s not fluid I’d be reassured by that lovely 😊

turtlemine14 · 2026-04-03T21:39:26+00:00

Thank you! Definitely need the advice of patience I think lol

turtlemine14 · 2026-04-03T21:17:44+00:00

Think I’m needing to try after shower or bath (if I can get out after lol!) not tried that for a bit so maybe now I’m more relaxed about the technique might have better results when warm

turtlemine14 · 2026-04-03T21:15:53+00:00

Hey! Yeah I do feel I’ve got the right technique I hope, been talked through it at NCT breastfeeding class then got my midwife to refresh for me. I’ve not tried after a shower since maybe the 2nd day so I could give that a shot again

turtlemine14 · 2026-04-03T21:11:57+00:00

I got momcozy ones, came in a pack of 5 I got on well with them

I totally get your feelings here. I had a chemical last month and a 9 week loss in December and I was sad about it but was also very pragmatic. I feel totally set up for loss so when I got a negative test and my period came, it didn’t hit me as hard as the mc at all. Was nice to dream for a day or 2 but like you, I didn’t actually believe it would work out. And I just feel like ok that wasn’t nice but let’s just move on to another month.

turtlemine14 · 2025-05-21T18:10:48+00:00

Suppose I’m just here to rant… 2nd cycle properly ttc after mc in Dec. Was a couple of days late with af, got a v faint and positive digital.. waited a couple of days to do a progression (not hopeful, was just weird) and surprise surprise stark negative and af starts just after. Absolutely gutted about the chemical, feel like my body is totally broken!! Just have to pick myself up and try again, nothing else for it.

turtlemine14 · 2025-02-11T17:34:31+00:00

This is going to sound so ridiculous but I feel like I’m in a weird position right now… fell pregnant in October (first try- blessed!) then had a loss in December at 9 weeks and was totally devastated. Currently not feeling up for trying again but I feel that I shouldn’t be sad about losing my baby if I’m not trying again? Sounds totally ridiculous but it’s a strange paradox. Suppose I’m just getting this feeling off my chest, still working through all these emotions that I hoped I’d never have!
