C-Section

Hi ,
I am having an elective c section in January - any tips on recovery?

- also how badly do the injections hurt afterwards? I don’t know how am going to go about doing these 🙈

I had a spontaneous V delivery in January this year & due to a multitude of reasons required 6 weeks of self inhexa injections post partum & tbh you get used to them & they don't hurt that much as long as after you've aministered it you move it around the injection site my rubbing & pushing on the area it prevents your muscle feel very tender & spreads the meds around the area quicker ultimately reducing bruising too! You can do them in your thigh or tummy although after about a week I personally opted to do them on the side of my butt as it's such a big muscle it didn't hurt near as much as my tummy! Just a side note have some antihistamines on hand as some people (myself included) can get very itchy from the blood thinners around the injection site x

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. ??
