Leg pain after PreE

I had preeclampsia and my legs tripled in size im now 11 months PP back at work (which a lot of physical activity) ive already called the doctor twice but i get palmed off with phone calls.
Im just wondering if anyone else has experienced this? I get muscular pain in my calves and shooting pain in my shins with a cold sensation in my feet. I work 5 days a week and try to take get out with baby as much as possible for entertainment.

I have the same exact feeling. My dr said that it is probably neurological and if the problem persists after 4 months pp (Im at 2 right now) then he will refer me to a neurologist or something specifically for imaging in case there is nerve entrapment.

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!

Anyone else’s owlet pi##ing them off ?!?! It goes off 5/6 a night saying it can’t get a reading and needs a snug fit. My baby is 8 months old so moves a lot. It is driving me insane and I keep end up taking it off!!
