Akikah party - advice

Salaam, hope you are all well.

If you do an akikah party, does it need to be within 2 weeks of the baby’s birth?

I had a covid nikkah and was thinking it would be nice to have a little party. Don’t know if I’ll be able to cope 2 weeks after the birth though.

If you have thrown a akikah party, how long after the birth?

All advice is appreciated ❤️

I think it’s recommended to do the aqiqah 7 days after birth but there’s no hard rule.

Walekoum salam well it’s sunnah to do it on day 7 or day 14 or day 21 or day 28
But if you can not you can delay it until you have the means
If you are not sure that two weeks is too tight do it on day 21 after birth ❤️
I did not know covid was still around I hope you’re better

My daughters aqiqa was done in Bangladesh within 7 days of her being born. My in laws sorted it all out whilst I was still in hospital. We also had an “aqiqa party” to celebrate her birth with family and friends when she was about 4 months old

Is this normal?

Is this little red bit on my section scar normal? It’s not oozing anything, doesn’t hurt but it’s the only bit on my scar like it so just curious! (19 days PP)
Thank you in advance! 🥰

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

Anyone else felt like this?

Hi, I’m 4 months postpartum, little one sleeps through the night and is formula fed, the last week I’ve felt extremely tired and very hungry! Just wondered if anyone else has felt this way/experienced this?

Hey what are your current symptoms?

I’m 37+5

I’m pretty mobile still but anything over a hour or 2 and I’m in discomfort

Getting up from a sitting position is hard

Some of baby’s movements now are bordering on painful especially around my crotch/pelvis

I’m exhausted very easily and nap every single day

Can basically only breathe out my mouth now and I’m snoring and dribbling 😂

Standing in one leg is very painful 😂

Some waves of pain/ tightening but I regular and mild

Low period type aches

And I feel like a fire breathing dragon with this acid reflux

My nose is growing 😂

My fingers swell slightly and go numbs in my sleep so that and constant toilet breaks keep me up ( checked swelling with MW and consultant and all normal, not a worry)

I also do not want to be social in person like I’d rather everyone just be my penpal atm lol

What are your symptoms?

Planned c section

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