  • RED WINE – A glass here and there in pregnancy???

    Hi, I have had about 4 glasses throughout this pregnancy – not in the first trimester, only in the second trimester. Just 1 glass with dinner now and then. Now, what I want to know is…….has anyone else done this and their little baby has been just fine? I hear so many mixed stories. I have spoken to so many mothers that had a glass every night throughout their pregnacies, my sister who had a glass each night and has 3 gorgeous kids! I havent been to ask the doc yet as I fear they might judge me? Anyway, I only know 1 lady (from work) who says "dont do it", what if – something happened? I am sure just a glass here and there is ok? what are your thoughts? Thanks! x
  • What happens at birth?? Induced or ceasar or natural?? I am very scared!

    OK, SO, I am now 20 weeks preg! My doc said all type 1’s get induced at 38 weeks, has anyone else had this experience? how did you go?
    Any side effects and is it dangerous? I am hoping I will go into labour before 38 weeks and naturally,….did anyone go beyond 38 weeks and gave birth ok? Anyone forced to have a ceasar due to a big baby! Is it true that we get induced at 38 weeks? Is this what happens in your country? I am honestly scared of inducing the baby as it doesnt seem natural yet at the same time I am scared of going beyond the 38 week mark incase the baby grows too big and wont fit thru the birth canal and i wil be forced to have a ceasar or a risky natural birth. Is it ok to be induced? Your experiences would be welcomed……thanks in advance for sharing……x
