I was told that when you are induced the pain can be more intense than if you were to go into labour naturally - has anyone got any info/advice on this?

Hi Everyone!! :wave: I finally have a date for my induction - Tuesday 13th May, I will be 37+2days PG!! I'm being admitted to Hospital in the evening so they can insert some Gel (cant remember the name begins with 'P'?!), then they will repeat the process in the morning. Its to soften my...

I saw a different consultant today and he was brilliant. He explained everything in full and whats to be expected for Cholestasis Patients. Ive now been put on further meds, vitamin K and other potions to get my bile count down. The Midwife said the consultant should be able to book my...

Ive been told I have Obstetric Cholestasis - the hospital is looking after me and i'm spending most of my time up at the hospital. I was in yesterday and had a blood test, but my blood levels have doubled again in only 4 days. I'm seeing the consultant again on Monday, but i'm starting to...

Docs finally confirmed what all my hospital trips have been about. My last blood test showed a significant raise in bile acids so its now being treated as OC. MY ALT and AST are quite high which is what triggered the need for regular checks. Got an AWC Doppler (??) appointment next week...

It seems the norm now to find out whether your having a little girl or boy. I chose to wait, its been hard and ive had so many opportunities to find out but ive managed to resist this far. I have another scan on Thurs (growth scan) we could find out then but ive gone this far without knowing...

Who is going to go to antenatal classes?? How necessary are they?? Ive had so many hospital appointments on a weekly basis i'm worried about work. But it looks like i'll only be able to go to the first couple of classes i'm booked onto because i'm being induced slightly earlier. Do...

Had another hospital appointment yesterday, the confirmed my induction will be in my 38th week, they wont let me go full term and put any further strain on my liver. If my blood results go up too high, it could be sooner, but at the moment its 38 weeks confirmed!! (eeeekk!!!) My question is...

I just wondered if everyone is washing new baby clothes? I wasnt sure if this is something I should be doing?!! Thanks :wave:
