C-section

Does anyone have experience having a baby sooner than the guidelines? I had an elective C-Section in March. Think I could be pregnant and wanted to hear people's honest experiences. Either vbac or repeat section!

I got pregnant 7 and half months pp and now 37 weeks I got highly advised to have a repeat C-section as risks for vbac so I'm booked in 23rd for one x

is your pregnancy going well so far? Is there pressure on your scar? X

It's gone perfectly so far 🤞🏻 I'm high risk but I was working up until 33 weeks pregnant x

Yup it the babe was fine but I did have a emergency c section at 36 I was scared but my family reassure me every would be ok an he is still here today

Yes i had my second baby just about 18 months PP and i am pregnant again, due 14 Months PP.

The chances of uterine rupture is very very small... dont let everyone's scare you into thinking you must have a Csection. VBacs are still possible prior to the "18month recommendations" depending on your conditions etc. I highly recommend looking up SUCCESS stories of VBACs prior to guidelines....

Its very rare we hear the success over the horror because very little people discuss the good... the bad is what gets attention. If you want to try VBAC dont sell yourself short of atleast looking into it and seeing what would be best, also if you chose induction, please read the POSITIVE induction stories as these are also hidden in the crieves of the horror ones.. it helped me alot ❤️

I would recommend checking with your OB. My OB said she’d be comfortable with me getting pregnant around 8-9 months post partum if I wanted another C-section. However, if I wanted to try for VBAC, she said it wouldn’t be safe to try before 15-18 months post partum.

congratulations and thank you for this! Did you have a vbac for your 2nd and are you planning to have another with your 3rd?

Got pregnant 4 months pp after and emergency c-section. Scheduled to have a c-section on Friday at 39+1

My first and second pregnancies are 18mo apart. My second and third are going to be about 17-18 mo apart as well. I honestly was never interested in pushing so c-sections worked for me once I had my first one. As you get a bit bigger you may feel tenderness around your scar but not everyone feels that. Mine comes and goes but is never painful. I honestly recovered much quicker with my second and even went to my babies first pediatrician appt by myself cause I was feeling so good

how did this go?! X

Anyone else up feeding their Bebe?

As above. Trying so hard to keep my eyes open

Oh my God, oh my God I hope this is not true!!!! I’m kind of scared

I’ve been throwing up and taking a shit all night!!! I just hope that it’s not what I think it is

Small head reported following 20 week scan

Has anyone else had it flagged that their baby is in the bottom 5th percentile for head size?

They said everything was fine whilst we were in the scan and then I got a phone call the next day saying that it’s on the small side and we’re being referred to a paediatric specialist at St George’s. Has anyone else had this and how did things go??

Would you bring 9 week old to a family party of 35+ people?

These are also people who will want to pass the baby around and get a turn to hold him. He just got his 2 month shots two days ago

Exercise 6 weeks after c section

What movement did people start to introduce? I won’t do anything too vigorous until I’ve seen the pelvic physio as I don’t want to compromise anything that may have been extremely weakened through pregnancy! But just wondering what types of classes/movement people started off with?

Is this normal??

I’m 29 weeks pregnant and having really aching legs and they’re all lumpy and swollen. Above the knee and behind the knee . Should I be worried ? My legs have never looked like this up until a few days ago. ??
