I did it

Well if you’ve been keeping up with my last few posts…you already know. But anyways. Contractions were horrible when I wasn’t pushing, my epidural failed to make my stomach numb, but my urethra was numb so I couldn’t pee, I went through my entire labor without peeing, and then went 2 hours in recovery with our peeing. The minute I sat on the toilet all the pee just started pouring out..safe to say I was there for a minute. But anyways. I had my daughter at 2:17 AM via vaginal birth. My epidural wasn’t working the way it should so I did feel a significant amount of pain, however once baby’s head was out it was a breeze to push out her body. Thank you to everyone that gave me good success stories and positive thoughts🥰

C - section

Hello lovelies, I’m getting closer to my date of c section.

Can I ask how it all went for you? I felt prepared and now I have this awful feeling what if I bleed out! I’m sure that’s not the case. But I just wondered how it went, and how the aftermath was. I have seen on social media people say it’s horrendous but then I speak to friends and family and they’re like yeah it’s not easy but you can cope! You can walk, etc. I think it’s the unknown… lol!

Also were you all sick during your procedure and did you all get terrible trapped gas? If so what tips do you have xx

Can you see anything? I’m 12 DPO 🙏

My own opinion is that this is inconclusive (can maybe see a vvvfl but could also be an indent too hard to tell) but curious what others see

Just want to sleep again! 🫩

I wake up around 8.30am, have some cereal, meditate/pray for a bit, make a cuppa and then by 10am I’m tired again and could easily nap. My iron levels have been checked and were fine. Is it just me or is anyone else feeling like this? I’m currently 35 weeks pregnant 👀

Best way to be induced??

I just found out I may need to be induced early due to preeclampsia and having a generally bigger baby which of the ways to be induced do y’all recommended?

This is a bit strange.. but hear me out

I am 36 weeks and 4 days today.
I had that feeling, you know when you are trying to take a tampon out on your end of period and it kind of hurts because the tampon is dry? I had that sensation today?

Now I feel like I have to push something about my vagina? It kinda tickles but uncomfortable. I’m not having any pains at all anywhere btw so can’t be baby ??
