Csection recovery

Hi mamas, I am 1 week pp and I wanted to ask about the pain while going through recovery. I had an emergency CS so I am quite clueless. My first few days after my C-section seems to have been better than the last two days. The pain and soreness seems to have returned stronger and out of nowhere. I also seem to have this discomfort when I pee which was not there at the beginning. I really cant explain it but I in general feel like as days go by, I wake up with some new pain or level of soreness. Is this normal? Or could something be wrong? I have also been having headaches from the middle of the day that doesn’t seem to go away upon on all the pain medications I am on. I am keeping an eye on my blood pressure and its coming in high. Any advice or should I go to the hospital? SOS!

Induction?

Anyone been induced before? Was it more painful? Better than thought? Worse than thought? Worth it? Thoughts?

C section or natural?

I am a control freak and thinking c section is the least stressful route for me and baby… less complications during labour etc. whilst acknowledging recovering can be hard.
If it could be guaranteed no tearing or complications then I would opt for natural and kind of want to experience the feeling.
Then again could plan and go either way 😂 arghh!
Anyone else in this predicament?

Period like cramps

Hi
I’m currently 33 weeks pregnant and I keep getting period like cramps I thought these were Brixton hicks but I’ve heard they only last 30 seconds ish as this can go on for a good time frame then go away and come back, they aren’t bad enough where I can’t do basic things they just feel like I’m about to get my period I’m jus wondering how normal this is? Baby is still very actively kicking xx

Homebirth?

I am thinking I want a homebirth (second baby) for a few different reasons but my husband is very against it, he is worried about things going wrong and we are a 30 minute drive from the hospital. Has anyone been in a similar position and what did you end up doing? Any advice? 🙏
