C section

Hi has anyone recently had a C Section at Kings Mill? I’m in next week for mine and my pre op is on Monday. However, I have my nail appointment Friday. Does anyone know if they will make me take them off? 🤦🏼‍♀️😅

Just had a planned C Section at Kings Mill 4 weeks a go, went really well, Yes, I was told no nail polish nothing, you will also be given a liquid to shower in from Monday to desinfect your skin and hair, you wont be allowed to use shampoo or Conditioner after Monday.

oh I may as well cancel my nails then 🤦🏼‍♀️😂 thank you for the info! X

I had an emergency c section back in December and it went really well, everyone was so reassuring and lovely too! All the midwife’s where fab with me x

I had an unplanned section this week at kings mill. I had gels on my toes and that was fine they explained the no nail polish thing is mainly so the paint doesn't interfere with the pulse/oxygen monitor they put on your finger. Repeat what Harley says above the section team were amazing with me this week. So were all the midwives. Hope all goes well!!

Thank you everyone x

Pregnant with baby 2

Hi everyone! I gave birth via emergency c section 9 months ago as my baby boy was measuring big, he pooped inside so there was risk of him inhaling it and I wasn’t progressing past 3cm to have a natural birth and now I’m currently 20 weeks pregnant with my 2nd baby. I’m having a consultation on Tuesday to talk about birth options and to have any questions answered but I don’t know what to ask. I feel like it would be safer having a c section again but at the same time I don’t want a c section. Does anyone have any question ideas I could ask or any advice/stories of similar situations. Tia

I have a feeling like I might get attacked from this but I’m going to say it anyways. incognito 🥸 GLP1s being mainstream for regular people who are NOT diabetic or morbidly obese is bad for so many reasons 💉💉💉

Side affects, long term dependency, supply shortages and costs, regaining the weight back as soon as you get off them.. all that ASIDE how do people not see just from a zoomed out perspective how crazy it is. I can’t imagine being someone facing food insecurity in an underdeveloped country and watching westerners give themselves daily jabs so they can lose weight while still eating a calorie surplus/ crappy foods. It’s giving hunger games when district 12 Katniss finds out at the party at the capital that people eat and then take a pill to make themselves sick so they can 🤮 and eat some more. These ads running ozempic everywhere are disgusting, and then getting amazing athletes like Serena Williams to push them talking bout “i’ve never been healthier” girl you were an OLYMPIC athlete wym??

Planned c section

Has anyone had a planned c section and been home the same day?

Getting pregnant after c section

When did you get pregnant again after a c section? Our plan was always to have 2 under 2 but that is now out the window because I had an emergency section. I know they say 18 months and we will be sticking to it (as much as I don’t want to) but I’m curious how quickly you got pregnant after your section?

Movements

I’m 28 weeks tomorrow. Yesterday I had loads and loads of movements but today I have only felt small flutters and a couple of kicks throughout the day. I get so confused as some people say they don’t have a pattern but others say they do. We have a Doppler so used it this evening and could hear the heartbeat and then moving but does anyone else get quieter days of movement than others? I am seeing my midwife tomorrow so will check but just find myself getting anxious about it and don’t know when to get checked. I know they encourage it but last time as soon as I got to triage baby started moving loads!
