I would say most surgeons would want you to wait at least a year to give your body time to fully heal before having another surgery.
Also don’t plan if you intend to have any more children x

Gotcha well I would wait at least a year. Really working out your core and losing weight and all that and then get one if you want to but I wouldn’t do it any time soon because if you end up losing more weight or get better core muscles then your tummy tuck might be different

Planing to have Lipo and I was told 6 months but best to wait a year 😩 my sister had one soon after the baby and it didn’t look as good as when she lost more weight after that. Better to shred as much as you can and then go for it.

did you plan to have a child afterwards or did you not really want any? I’ve thought about maybe getting one day in the future but curious how it would be if for some reason I got pregnant after on like accident

I did the bbl a few years ago. It’s the lipo with transfer to bum , not going to lie , recovery was hell but girrrrrrrl the results are life changing 🤭

Just be sure you really need the tummy tuck before getting one. My sister got one because the doctor made her think she did, which she didn’t and now she’s limited to the amount of kids she have. It was 2 through c-section after with complications on her body afterwards. She says she’ll get her tubes tied to make sure she won’t get pregnant again cuz I think it could be life-threatening at that point. So just be sure it’s what you want and it’s necessary. I’ve had a c-section and was pressured to get a TT by some doctors but others told me I don’t need it. Worked out consistently a couple years later and got myself some abs before getting pregnant a couple months after again lol

Day out after c section

Hey,
I had an emergency c section 1 week ago I obviously don't want a day out right now but I have things booked for the Easter holidays so in 2 weeks. I was just wondering if I will be overdoing it if I have a day out then or will I be ok? I would still take it as easy as I could. When did everyone feel good enough to go out?

Period like cramps

Hi
I’m currently 33 weeks pregnant and I keep getting period like cramps I thought these were Brixton hicks but I’ve heard they only last 30 seconds ish as this can go on for a good time frame then go away and come back, they aren’t bad enough where I can’t do basic things they just feel like I’m about to get my period I’m jus wondering how normal this is? Baby is still very actively kicking xx

C section or natural?

I am a control freak and thinking c section is the least stressful route for me and baby… less complications during labour etc. whilst acknowledging recovering can be hard.
If it could be guaranteed no tearing or complications then I would opt for natural and kind of want to experience the feeling.
Then again could plan and go either way 😂 arghh!
Anyone else in this predicament?

Midwife check

Can someone remind me when the midwife visits you at home? Is it the day after you’re discharged? And is that the same on the weekend or do they not visit then? Thanks!
