Our little boy was born on 7•5•2024 @ 00:46 by emergency c- section weighing 6lb3oz at 35 weeks 💙🌻 he’s happy and health 😇 god is great

Posting anonymously for obvious reasons 😅 Would you say this is bad discharge meaning I have an infection or mucus plug? Ive never noticed this before and I’m a FTM so a bit unsure 😩

For you first time mamas who have given birth already - how bad was it really? Was it as bad as you envisioned in your mind? Especially those of you who were very anxious like I am? Genuine phobia of giving birth and dying :(

I woke up and stood up and all this came out. Im not sure thoooo.

I'm not really sure when to ring the hospital... I had a sweep yesterday and have been experiencing irregular contractions since late yesterday evening. I'm having about 5 contractions an hour at the moment lasting less than one minute. I live about 30 mins from the hospital and this is baby number 2... my first lab...

41+5, 3 failed sweep, 3 failed induction, 2 days of consistent real contractions, had my water broke at 4cm, and then 17 minutes caesarian labor later : Hello World❤️ 6th May 2024 Trust your body, no more induction please Xx

Random question and I’m hoping to not see so many experiences with this but I have to ask as it’s looking like a C-Section may be in the cards for me now due to new health issues and baby’s positioning. I’ve seen a couple stories on Social media about people believing their baby was accidentally cut during the proc...

Just wondering, how many people on here have gotten pregnant again within 12 months after a C-section. Did you actually have any issues as I know they say don’t get pregnant again until 12 months so even say 18 to 24 months. TIA

I had my 36 week growth scan today and they booked me in to be induced on my due date (exactly 40 weeks) due only to my high BMI. I've had a perfectly healthy pregnancy and my BMI has caused no other issues. Just wondered if anyone else is in this boat and whether they're going ahead with it?

Has everyone started this yet? What oil are you using? How often/long are you doing it for? ...I'm 36 weeks so think I should have probably started by now! Also are people eating dates daily to help soften the cervix?

I’m 36 weeks pregnant with baby boy number 2 and we still have no name for him 🤦🏼‍♀️ Shout out some of your favourite boy names please! We are so stuck on what to call him 🤣🤦🏼‍♀️

Hi all, finally made it to our scan! Any guesses? 👀🥰

Hello! I took a test today at 9 dpo, even though I know it’s early. As soon as I walked into bathroom after 5 minutes I saw 2 lines. It was so faint I couldn’t really get it to show in pictures. I’m worried it’s an indent line. What is your opinion? This is my first time ever using easy @ home strips.

Hi ladies, I’m 6 weeks post c section and this is currently my tummy. Is it likely this will flatten out a bit once I lose weight? (If anyone has looked similar?) I had a vaginal delivery for my first and I was lucky to ‘bounce back’ but my confidence has been knocked post c-section and I really hate the way I look....

I’m from the Nov 2024 group (currently 13weeks) but curious to see what bumps look like at 18 weeks when I’ll be at a wedding 😆

Has anyone else’s bump gone really tight this week? Suddenly feeling uncomfortable

When did y’all start shaving on the c section scar? 4 months pp and I still only shave around it but have some hair on it that I would like to remove lol 🫣

Heeey, Anyone else experiences some period like cramps? I have been having it the past few days. But not strong and not regular just sometimes I notice it a few times a day max. Any ideas? Anyone else? Xx

Hey, I’m a high risk pregnancy and due to start having cervical length scans in 2 weeks time. I’m just wondering do you get to see baby aswell or do they literally just check cervix?xx

Started to get lower back pain that seemed to increase over the last two hours, disappeared but now I’m getting tightenings across my stomach and belly seems really hard and I can feel shooting pains / pressure in my bum ? Pain is at the level where I’m thinking of having paracetamol. No pain/period type pain in t...
