Pregnant after C-section 9 months ago

We always wanted babies close in age so to have an 19 month age gap we’re over the moon but I’m panicking, I’ve heard some horror stories recently and now I think about my belly getting bigger after a C-section 9 months ago and I feel sick

Please can anyone share stories getting pregnant relatively soon after a section? I’ll be having a planned this time, I’m not even attempting a vbac but I’m so worried my belly is going to get too big and I could tear something, my last baby was a big 9 pounder I’ve not slept the last few nights as I’ve terrified myself

Hi so I’m 34 weeks currently and will have a 15 month gap between my babies. I’ve had no scar pain etc and my risk of rupture if I choose a VBAC is only 0.5%. My baby is also measuring 3 weeks ahead by their calculations but comparing to my last pregnancy it’s been no different in terms of how I’ve felt with the growing size. Hope that eases your mind a little bit x

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

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 ??

Ovarian cyst question

So for the ladies who suffer from cysts, how painful can it be when they pop? So they found a cyst on my ovary and well I've been getting pains in the area where my ovaries are... Now the pain isn't excruciating but it's enough to make me wanna double over or stop me in my tracks. Like I don't know if I've just been straining my muscles when I've moved too quick or something. It's hard to explain really. But I'm waiting for another ultra sound scan so I don't know if I've developed more cysts or if I even have PCOS. My doctor said he wasn't concerned. Yes that's right he.. But since I found out about my cyst I've been worrying about my self and even feeling like there is something there, like ive always had a feeling something was there but since it was pointed out my mind thinks about it all the time which is annoying...
