I spent a lot of my pregnancy worrying as I was told at 12 weeks that I had low Papp-a. This was something completely new to me, as my first pregnancy was straight forward (apart from resulting in a planned caesarean as baby girl was breech). Low Papp-a meant...

My first baby was a spontaneous birth at 37 weeks in a birthing pool – pretty much a dream delivery so I was pretty devastated to learn that I had gestational diabetes and would most likely need to be induced this time around. I saw my midwife at 37 weeks and...

My first induction happened to be the birth of my fourth child. I was diagnosed with Cholestasis (ICP) at 34 weeks and my planned home birth turned into a planned hospital induction at 37 weeks. I wasn’t dilated only 1cm upon starting Cervidal, but after a couple...

After 41 weeks of pregnancy I was offered an induction. There were many factors that lead to me making this choice. But I must stress that it was a choice. Luna is my first baby and I had dreams and plans of how I would give birth naturally in my own home or in a...
