People do always do that! I always try to make sure I am so positive about my birth experience cos it was positive for me, I had an emergency c-section and I've never felt more comfortable and relaxed in a hospital environment! My sister had 3 inductions with her babies and she speaks of her experiences all positively, her 2nd one was the hormone drip and the other 2 were the pessary.So many people I’ve spoken to keep saying to me “whatever you do don’t let them induce you” because they’ve had really negative experiences and it is making me so anxiousI wish they’d just not say anything even though I know they’re only trying to help. I’ve already been told I’m at risk of pre term labour due to a problem with my placenta and it’s unlikely I’ll be allowed to go full term as there’s a risk of rupture, so I’m hardly going to decline an induction if it’s going to be the safest option for me and baby. One thing I’ve found since being pregnant is nobody wants to tell you their positive experiences
I had what I would say a positive induction with my first baby and opted to be induced again in 2 weeks! I think birth is so personalised that in any situation weather it be induction, spontaneous labour, emcs or ecs, some people say it was the best thing for them or the worst thing for them. Try to watch some positive induction vlogs on YouTube or read some threads about positive induction storiesSo many people I’ve spoken to keep saying to me “whatever you do don’t let them induce you” because they’ve had really negative experiences and it is making me so anxiousI wish they’d just not say anything even though I know they’re only trying to help.

I was induced with my first and it went perfectly! I was supposed to be induced with my second last week but had to have an EMCS, and my first induction went so well, I was disappointed I didn’t get induced because that’s what I had in my head would happen and it went well with my first! People LOVE telling stories of how things were bad and went wrong, you very rarely hear people saying how well things went. Induction in my experience weren’t that bad!So many people I’ve spoken to keep saying to me “whatever you do don’t let them induce you” because they’ve had really negative experiences and it is making me so anxiousI wish they’d just not say anything even though I know they’re only trying to help.

I’ve got some maternity ones from Primark. They sell them separate so you can get the bits you need. They go over bump and have pockets! Expensive for Primark but I like them https://www.primark.com/en-gb/p/maternity-pyjama-shorts-lilac-991097243556Can anybody recommend any good maternity pyjamas? They all either look like something my nan would wear or they’re about £40 which I just can’t justify for something I’m not even gonna wear out and will only use for a few months
I think for me it’s more about reading up on the subject, so feeling like if they do offer or say I need an induction, then I understand the reasons and statistics behind it. Sarah Ockwell Smith has some really good posts on this on her website.So many people I’ve spoken to keep saying to me “whatever you do don’t let them induce you” because they’ve had really negative experiences and it is making me so anxiousI wish they’d just not say anything even though I know they’re only trying to help.

I’ve not read too much about it yet as I see a lot of negativity around it. However I’m similar to @Elle Woods that with GD I’m likely to be induced if I don’t go into labour naturally. I see a lot in the fb group have elective c sections but I would want to avoid a c section if I can (unless it’s the best for the baby of course )I think for me it’s more about reading up on the subject, so feeling like if they do offer or say I need an induction, then I understand the reasons and statistics behind it.

saying that I have a very straightforward first (spontaneous at 38 weeks, arrived in less than 12 hours) so I’m hoping the same for #2!
A lot of people go in with this idea that they want this that and the other, but end up changing their mind! Quite often it’s ones who had their heart set on a water birth but actually didn’t like it, or wanted to go with minimal pain relief but ended up with the epidural. Keep an open mind, but it’s your labour, your body, and you have the right to choose in every decisionI think one thing I’m trying to work on is being open to things being different to what I wanted as I think the lack of control/ planning is something that’s quite scary to me!
I really like the term birth preference but I still want it to be positive if I don’t get my pool birth. Same with breastfeeding, I’d love to try it but if it doesn’t work I don’t want to be upset about it.
Only just seen this and haven’t caught up but I was induced with my first because my waters went early & then he decided to poo on day 10 so had to come out, I was the exact same as you and scared because of what other people had said - I cried when the consultant was explaining everything but I promise you mine couldn’t of been any better. I was induced at 10.30pm and had him in my arms by 9am the next day! I always tell people about it now cos I’d never heard good induction stories either but honestly, if I could have that all over again for my second I’d be so happySo many people I’ve spoken to keep saying to me “whatever you do don’t let them induce you” because they’ve had really negative experiences and it is making me so anxiousI wish they’d just not say anything even though I know they’re only trying to help.

Congratulations! No, don’t be worried. Symptoms vary from person to person and they’ll fluctuate throughout - they’re not an indication at all of how things are progressing! I didn’t have many symptoms at that point either, other than tiredness, my sickness actually began in the 2nd trimester which is when a lot of ladies start to feel better! So it’s nothing to worry about - just enjoy it whilst you’re not having any of the rubbish onesHi guys. I'm 7 weeks 1 day but haven't had any symptoms yet. Should I be worried?
I feel thisLord have mercy hahaha I better not give birth in husband’s new car or he’ll never forgive me
