10wk PP period

Not going to lie I was hoping the first period after having a section would of been a bit longer then 10wk!

It. Is. Brutal. (Lots of fresh red blood)

Anyone else found the same?

I’m 10wks PP, 11wks Monday and I came on yesterday, it was slow yesterday but overnight last night ramped up and I’ve got bad cramps 😵‍💫😵‍💫

I have heard the first period after
Pregnancy can be brutal x

I didn’t get my period yet and I’m 12w PP!

lucky! This period is brutal 🖕

@Taome Jane same here, it was a few little spots on Friday, but heavier Saturday but last night it was like niagra falls! Soaked through pad, pants, jammy bottom and all in the bed in the space of like an hour

@Alice yep I bled through everything last night! Haven't our bodies been through enough.

when I gave birth, I used adult nappies for the few weeks afterwards. If this period carries on the way it’s going, I’ll be getting some more to deal with it 😅

Got mine at around 9 wks PP and it was terrible!! Constantly bleeding through (although it wasn't painful). I was so shocked as before pregnancy I had really light and short ones.

Yep, I had to go back to post partum nappies

Yes! Mine started last weekend and I’ve had a week of bright red heavy blood 😭 it was horrible!

Pregnant with baby 2

Hi everyone! I gave birth via emergency c section 9 months ago as my baby boy was measuring big, he pooped inside so there was risk of him inhaling it and I wasn’t progressing past 3cm to have a natural birth and now I’m currently 20 weeks pregnant with my 2nd baby. I’m having a consultation on Tuesday to talk about birth options and to have any questions answered but I don’t know what to ask. I feel like it would be safer having a c section again but at the same time I don’t want a c section. Does anyone have any question ideas I could ask or any advice/stories of similar situations. Tia

I have a feeling like I might get attacked from this but I’m going to say it anyways. incognito 🥸 GLP1s being mainstream for regular people who are NOT diabetic or morbidly obese is bad for so many reasons 💉💉💉

Side affects, long term dependency, supply shortages and costs, regaining the weight back as soon as you get off them.. all that ASIDE how do people not see just from a zoomed out perspective how crazy it is. I can’t imagine being someone facing food insecurity in an underdeveloped country and watching westerners give themselves daily jabs so they can lose weight while still eating a calorie surplus/ crappy foods. It’s giving hunger games when district 12 Katniss finds out at the party at the capital that people eat and then take a pill to make themselves sick so they can 🤮 and eat some more. These ads running ozempic everywhere are disgusting, and then getting amazing athletes like Serena Williams to push them talking bout “i’ve never been healthier” girl you were an OLYMPIC athlete wym??

Planned c section

Has anyone had a planned c section and been home the same day?

Getting pregnant after c section

When did you get pregnant again after a c section? Our plan was always to have 2 under 2 but that is now out the window because I had an emergency section. I know they say 18 months and we will be sticking to it (as much as I don’t want to) but I’m curious how quickly you got pregnant after your section?

Movements

I’m 28 weeks tomorrow. Yesterday I had loads and loads of movements but today I have only felt small flutters and a couple of kicks throughout the day. I get so confused as some people say they don’t have a pattern but others say they do. We have a Doppler so used it this evening and could hear the heartbeat and then moving but does anyone else get quieter days of movement than others? I am seeing my midwife tomorrow so will check but just find myself getting anxious about it and don’t know when to get checked. I know they encourage it but last time as soon as I got to triage baby started moving loads!

Clogged ducts, eye gunk

Little Theo has been having really gunky eyes, we’ve taken him to the doctor and the a and e and they’ve said it’s most likely a clogged duct, anyone else’s baby have this and was there anything to do about it? I feel horrible constantly wiping his eye xx
