Had really good luck with taking homepathy chalophyla and gelesium (not sure of spell). I started taking one of each every four hours and after three doses contractions started to be stronger and stronger at 2am after being crampy and then building contractions from 11pm on. So what a success! I sta

Has anyone been successful with naturally trying to induce labor at home? What did you do? Those who're currently trying what are you doing and how has it worked out so far? I have done exercises to induce labor from YouTube, yoga ball movements, eaten dates and in a few I'll be drinking hot wate

Heyy mothers out there I am currently in my 38 weeks of pregnancy this would be my forth child 3rd pregnancy hopefully natural, I’ve never gone through with such a long pregnancy. my last born I had a month early, and my twins I had at 36 weeks. basically what I came here to ask is should I be getti

Can someone please explain to me like I’m five how my newborn has the beginning of tears. His eyes got wet when he was really crying. He is 2 weeks old but born at 37 weeks so he’s only really 39 weeks? Is tears based on gestation or how long out of the uterus? I’m so confused…..

I’ve been experiencing smell at my incision and it’s a bit red on two of the stitches I’ve been to my obgyn and he said everything is healing as it should and to just keep dry and clean with hydrogen peroxide. I have no real pain or whatever but I was wondering if anyone has had this issue and it’s

It’s not fun being the end of the birth month moms, is it?? Feels like torture! Im so happy for everyone’s baby announcements but so ready to have mine too! We’re hanging in there!

I’m 39 weeks + 2 days today. I had a membrane sweep to push things along this morning & I’m currently feeling no pressure or cramping that I was feeling before the sweep. Looked it up, says it’s normal for the hormones to build. I’m 2 cm dilated, 60% effaced. How did your sweep go & how long

I’ve been experiencing a constant daily sensation of tightness or pressure in my head, along with a feeling of internal instability something similar to dizziness, but not the usual spinning or vertigo. It feels more like an internal swaying or imbalance. This sensation is present all the time, not

We got induced last night at 38 week. Found out we have a boy! So happy to meet our new family. Our first non fur baby. It was such a great moment. Not to judge you guys that know before birth. But the overwhelming joy of finding out at birth was an amazing experience. To those on the fence about kn

What are your opinions on getting a membrane sweep and induction? If you have had one before what was your experience? Do you think it makes labor more difficult?

I am due in 6 days and we still need to solidify name options. For first names we are between Hallie and Delaney. Middle name options for Hallie would be Hallie Belle, Hallie Isabelle, or Hallie Juliette. We have no middle name options for Delaney. Our last name is Anderson, so I feel like it n

I'm 39 weeks and 1 day. My baby is still breeched. Has anyone gone through a natural labor while baby is breeched or knows of anyone? Any tips you may have please share!

10 days postpartum with a vaginal delivery and a minimal tear and my clitoris feels so sensitive. I don’t feel like anything else still is painful besides this. Is that normal? What kind of pain should I be having at this point with a vaginal delivery? Any?

I looked back on old photos of my last pregnancies and I was noticeably swollen a week before labor. I just started swelling quite a bit the past couple of days and I’m hoping that’s the sign I’ve been waiting for! Was this a sign for you? (I never have preeclampsia either just general swelling)

So I’m two weeks, almost 3 weeks postpartum and I need some insight. Obviously everyone’s recovery is different and each body responds to it differently. How long was it that you felt sore at the incision sight? My scar is healing but I notice every so often the right side will almost “zap” me with

Hello mums! I'm 38+5 today and doctor wants to induce my labor at 40+0 because my baby is small. His percentiles were always very different along the gestation (9p, 20p, 5p, 15p and now 9p again). I am very short and thin, the father as well is thin and has a (low)normal height. I would like to

Does anyone have done this procedure? My ob recomend me to do this on my 40th week appointment but I’m not sure if I should do it. Someone has done it and how was the experience? It worked out?

Had my sweet girl at 37+6 via induction! So glad she’s here finally!

I latch baby occasionally but I mostly pump. (She’s 2 weeks now). My supply is doing great but I never realized how tough it is to exclusively pump ! Definitely not the “easy way out” !! How’s your BF journey been going??

While waiting for baby, I need a distraction and in the words of Madonna, "Music makes the people come together..."

Not related to little miss but I am looking for a new (affordable) car seat for my two year old. We currently have the Safety 1st ever-fit all in one convertible car seat that he has had since 5 months old. He is currently forward facing (I didn’t want to do it so soon but he maxed out on height for

I had a c section on 4/8 and have my 2 week appointment 4/22. I just took my temp and have a 101.6 fever. Should I call my ob or just wait 2 more days till my 2 week appointment?
