Unknown pain

I had a c section with my first 3 weeks ago and I'm still getting really bad pains. I've been to the doctors twice the first time I was put on antibiotics for 5 days which didn't help, the second time my doctor said it's no the scar but my uterus and sent me off for an ultrasound which I haven't heard back yet. The pain is above my scar which is a stinging pain I also get bad cramps and a stick in my right side. Did anyone else go through something similar?

I do feel soreness above my scar. But it's not that bothering. 3 weeks post partum

I had EXACTLY this around the same time as you. I went to docs 3 times about it as I was really really worried. It turned out to be my nerves rejoining, it’s quite normal for you to experience nerve pain which I had shooting, stinging pain which started from the right side of my incision and shot round to my right side/hip area! It lasted around a week, I took ibuprofen every 4 hours during this time and rested ALOT this week and eventually it passed on its own just fine! X

You can experience contractions like pain due to the uterus contracting back to normal size

Finding out gender

Has anyone found out the gender at a private scan at 14 weeks? And has this been accurate?

I found out at 17 with my first but I know a scan place that offers from 14/15 weeks and I’m impatient 😂🥲

Induction?

Anyone been induced before? Was it more painful? Better than thought? Worse than thought? Worth it? Thoughts?

Baby names

My daughter‘s name is valentýna and I’m struggling to find other nice girl and boy names beginning with V I’ve got a few and I’ve got loads that aren’t beginning with V, but I feel like I wanna go for all vs and I also love girl and boys names that match so because my daughter’s name is valentýna I would love to call my son Valentino my husband does not agree 😃

Induction or c section?

As a last resort, would you rather be induced or have a planned c section?

Really not liking the thought of being induced from people’s experiences I’ve read!
