Sciatica Nerve Pain 😫

Hi! On Monday I had the worst pain in my whole life: a sciatica nerve pain. I screamed and cried a lot. Now I’m struggling a lot to manage the pain and my belly is huge. I’m 36 weeks tomorrow and I’m thinking of having a C-Section at 37 weeks, ‘cos I can't bear this pain anymore. Are any of you with the same issue?

Will they one that early? Normally elective c sections are at 39 weeks x

Yes!! I’ve had this pretty much from around 20 weeks!! It’s so sore!!! I feel your pain!!

As my baby is too big and the pain is severe they are considering this option

what are you doing to manage the pain? x

@Jenny Vargas that's good to know I've been offered an induction at 37 weeks for severe spd and a big baby but when I asked about a c section they said I would have to wait until 39 weeks, so I'm going to speak to them again now you've said this, thank you 😊 xx

Tomorrow, I will have an appointment with my consultant to discuss this situation. Because nothing was yet decided. I can update you after the appointment.

yes please lovely, good luck tomorrow xx

Hi! I had the consultation today and the Dr said she won't do a C-section before 39 weeks, however as I’m in so much pain she would induce me next week. She did the examination and my cervix is already open. So, the same situation as you. Induction at 37 weeks 😬

@Jenny Vargas thank you for getting back to me :) ooo did they give you a date today for next week? Your a couple of weeks ahead of Me as I'm Just over 35 weeks. Are you still having a section? Xxx

No, I will have an induction next Friday. I’m so scared 😟

@Jenny Vargas did they book you in for an induction the other day? Sorry for all the questions 😅 just want to know roughly what to expect monday when I have my consultant appointment xx

I had the appointment on Friday and she booked me for an induction for next Friday (15th)

@Jenny Vargas that's fab to know, also you will be fine, just think you get to meet your baby very soon xxx

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

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 ??

cheating dream

i need advice but PLS DON'T JUDGE!!!
last night i had a dream, i always used to dream my partner cheating on me with my friends, or being super mean, but since we had our baby those dreams disappeared. for context, we haven't been able to have sex yet, I'm 12 weeks pp, and my pelvic floor is so tense, and it's awful.
last night i had a VERY weird dream, it was so realistic, and different from others, he handed me his phone, and ask me to help him handle this girl, like annoyed? in the chat this girl was super obsessive, and messaged him a lot before he replied. she asked him to sing a song to her, and he sent her a voice message singing it, and other voice messages i couldn't listen in the dream. i wrote her to stop, and she was angry, telling me he started it. then i confronted him about this (still in the dream) and he changed his attitude, he seemed so guilty and said to me he had deleted some messages. i don't remember much else, but i woke up with the URGE of checking his insta messages. we've been together for 5 years, and I've never checked his phone, and neither has he (that i know if, at least) and contained myself, but I'm still very much concerned about it. it felt like an epiphany, a revelation or smth like that. I know people might think I'm overreacting but i can't get it out of my head, it was so specific.
i though about asking him to show me, but i know he'll be bothered that i don't trust him (i would be too in his place), but if he's cheating he would say that to make me feel bad. also i thought about checking his phone in his sleep, and then ask him to see his reaction, but feel so bad, i wouldn't like if he went through my phone without asking, even tho I have nothing to hide.
please, be kind!!
