Sorry to hear about your birth Emskie87. Its sad that something that should be so normal is causing so much stress to so many women. I am now seeing a counsellor and I think it might be helping. I ...

You girls are really great. Just reading your posts helps. I did (and at times still do) feel quite a lot of grief over the situation. I guess the trauma was in the births themselves but also that ...

Thanks for sharing girls. It is amazing how many women have disappointing experiences with birth. I am actually doing a study atm on women and their birth experiences and it is eye opening how many...

You poor thing! I know what its like to have breasts that are that sore and I didnt feed for 7 hours. Yes I'm healing well and I'm glad to hear that you got a nice birth

Hey cfair, thought I'd update you.... unfortuntely I ended up with an emergency c-section 5 days before the booked c-section. I went into the hospital becuase i found a Dr who was willing to induce...

How did you go Lil sleepers mum? I ended up with an emergency c-section as my baby was getting distressed and was running out of fluid. I'm hppy to say though that I now have a healthy baby girl! H...

The doctor said I needed to book in for a c-section. He can't induce because I've had a previous c-section. I at least put him off until next week when I will be 42 weeks. I want to allow the maxim...

Hi Lil sleepers mum, hoping for you that it will happen soon. I'm 41 weeks in two days and cannot believe how long this pregnancy feels. I'm seeing doctor tomorrow but I'm going to wait as long as...

Thanks cfair, still no sign of bub yet but now its been three nights of contraction-like pains. I'm just holding onto the hope that it is my body getting ready for the big event and focusing on get...

I'm really sorry to hear about your losses. I have also had one daughter then two miscarriages (one natural, one D&C) and now I'm term with my second child. I know how heartbroken you feel but ...

I'm sorry to hear about your losses. I have also had two miscarriages. With my last one the Hcg was initially normal but gradually dropped over a week or so which was what told the Drs I was miscar...

I'm in the same boat as you. I'm trying for a VBAC and they tell me my bub is huge. At my last midwife appointment she told me though that it wasnt something to worry about as your body can usually...

I love all your tips! I'm now 3 days overdue and have been having contraction pains every night for the last three nights but they stop by morning. Definitely going to try some of these things to k...

Thanks cfair, it is always so reassuring reading posts like yours. I was having more period pain like cramps on and off through the night getting stronger but they fizzled again near morning. Hopef...

I'm not sure how long they will let me go overdue. I have an appointment with a doctor on Tuesday when I will be 40+6 to discuss options. Apparently they may let me go to the end of that week if ev...

Thanks Mum of 3 cuties! That's really sweet. Hopefully I will have some good news very soon.
