Yup same here. I can’t sleep on my left side because it hurts and every time I sleep on my right side by the morning I’m in pain. I have to sleep on my back which isn’t really a problem because i prefer sleeping on my back. Also if I do a lot of work and on my feet a lot throughout the day, my scar hurts a lot. I’ve heard scar pain is normal. My mil still has scar pain here and there after 30 years. I was thinking of going to my OB and confirming that it’s normal because the pain gets really bad sometimes.

I get most pain on my left to, I have to swap every so often in my sleep. Am a single mum so always running round after the kids. Yeah was thinking off asking my consultant when I see them

I had my C-section 4 months ago and I'm not getting pain in my scar that's still numb but the skin around my scar is really sensitive and my lower back aches if I stand up a lot or for a long period of time

I had a c section December 2021 the ends of the scar does get sore but I use bio oil and massage the area which has really helped.

Day out after c section

Hey,
I had an emergency c section 1 week ago I obviously don't want a day out right now but I have things booked for the Easter holidays so in 2 weeks. I was just wondering if I will be overdoing it if I have a day out then or will I be ok? I would still take it as easy as I could. When did everyone feel good enough to go out?

Reduced Movements

Has anyone else gone in for monitoring for reduced movements and as soon as you arrive at triage the baby starts moving and the CTG is normal? It makes me feel like I am over reacting.

Newborn stage

Is anyone tired of doing the same thing everyday and being on a 2-3 hour schedule? It’s the same everyday and I feel like I’m losing my mind. It’s making me depressed even if I get out once a day. When does it get better? I feel like I’m just waiting for the next stage where it’s not just sitting around all day.
