I'm getting induced at 39 weeks, any tips on how to rippen my cervix? I really dont want that balloon in, i think the consultant was trying to scare me...
Or how many people's cervix have been thin enough to just have a pessary in at 39 weeks
@michaelahobbs44, can I ask what the reason for being induced is x
@7littlegems i reallly hope so, I personally think she was trying to get me to opt to go naturally. I'm hoping at 39 weeks my cervix will have thinned xx
@michaelahobbs44, it says in mine about raspberrie leaf tea , hopefully with this being ur third it cervix’s will be low and maybe even dilated too xx
@7littlegems yes but it doesn't say anything about how to try and ripen your cervix leading up to it.. xx
@michaelahobbs44, they don’t use the ballon thing at my hospital I didn’t really think it’s used that much x
I have been induced twice and will be again at 39 weeks one was 39 week but they popped my waters one was 38 weeks and took 4 days of pessaries hoping when I go in at 39 weeks this time again they can pop my waters x
@michaelahobbs44, I know I think I’d be scared if they said I was having that haha xx
@courtniek98x me niether..... sounds painful! @chesscalouise2 will do thank you x well cross fingers i go before xx
Ignore that picture, I dont even know how i did it 😂
@michaelahobbs44, I’ve heard of it hun but I don’t know anyone who’s actually had it xx
@courtniek98x i think my consultant was trying to put me off the idea of having an induction...
Have you heard of a catheter being used an then balloon? Xx
I had 2 pessaries at 37 weeks hun I got to 3cm then they broke my waters xx
I really don’t think people get it. I got asked how many ultrasounds I was going to have this pregnancy. And to be honest it’s more than I would like to have. Dating scan was yesterday, NT scan is in three weeks and starting at 16 weeks I’ll have monthly ultrasounds to measure my Cervix. Apparently I’m ungrateful and lucky. 🙄 There is nothing lucky about having to constantly worry about how long you’ll stay pregnant for.
Has anyone tried evening primrose oil to start soften they cervix ? My sister did it and she had her baby this morning at 39 weeks

I swear it gets bigger everyday, but I'll be 39 weeks Friday ❤

Can I see all the mommies belly's and how many weeks are you 😁 sorry that's the only pic I have that you can actually see my baby I'm 23 weeks today what do you think I'm having ?
Weight Gain
What week are you and how much weight have you gained so far?
@7littlegems I Had a c-section with my first and bled out on my second after trying a v-bac.. I didn't feel like i was able to bond with either of my children because of how much trouble I had during and after labour, i was going to try a normal delivery again but now I've got spd and varicose veins in my vulvar its terrified me more. I can barely walk now never mind possibly going over so it's a number of things really xx
