V Bac or a C section?

I'm currently 27 weeks pregnant with my third baby, the first baby was a normal delivery, the second, an emergency c section. So with this one, I'm not sure whether to opt for a c section or a v bac. I get really scared about my scar rupturing if I have a v bac, I'm also worried that I'll get an infection in my scar if I have another c section. My scar at the moment is really neat so I

Contractions starting and stopping!

Hi, I'm so confused, this is actually my third baby, so I thought he would be early and quick, but I don’t know if I'm in labour or not. I've been having contractions (well they certainly feel like contractions) for two days but they aren't consistent. It feels more real than braxton hicks. They started on Wednesday eve and got closer and closer together but by midnight they started to tail off,

Can my hubby get in the birthing pool?

I'm starting to like the idea of a water birth and was wondering whether my husband will be allowed to get in too? Has anyone had a water birth on here? Can you tell me what the experience is like? Was your partner able to join you? And what was the pain like?  I'm currently 28 weeks pregnant with my second baby. Very excited, it's a girl and we have a boy already, feeling very b

The A-Z of pregnancy...

Choosing to bring a child into the world is a precious and rewarding decision. But there are so many considerations from conception to baby names. Pregnancy can make you feel euphoric or it can make you depressed. Everyone’s experience of pregnancy and childbirth is different, and so is everyone’s situation. Some expectant mothers can feel isolated which is heightened after the birth of their child. Other expectant mothers enjoy the experience so much that they’re already preparing for the next birth before their current one.

This forum was set up to deal with all matters related to pregnancy and birthing. If you’ve already had a baby, why not share your story to help other expectant mothers? Perhaps you’re a father to be and have questions you’d like to ask other expectant mothers. We’re here to help support you with advice, questions, answers and general chat.
