Nine weeks post c section.

Recovery was fine, stopped loosing blood after about 3/4 weeks. Have since been wiping jelly like substance from vagina. However now stomach is tender to touch not near the incision above this, from belly button all way down and across. Even t shirts moving over tummy Is irritating and sore to touch. No fever and generally felt ok. Does anyone know what this could be? Dr said just to keep an eye on it.

You could be ovulating and your period coming on and experiencing mittelschmerz (ovulation pain) based on your cervical discharge

Following as I’ve been experiencing the exact same 6 weeks pp with pain mostly being on the right side. I had an infection around 4 weeks pp and it’s the same pain I experienced then so I assumed I was getting another infection but have the doctors tomorrow for my 6 week appointment so will definitely be mentioning it. I hope you start to feel better soon! X

I’ve been having discharge for over a week, getting pains today and some blood when I wipe, I’m 6 weeks pp x

I had this and everything hurt my skin. I was really worried and did also go to the doctors. It did eventually go, around 8/9 weeks pp. Just wanted to say so you know there is light at the end of the tunnel! I think it is a lot to do with nerves knitting back together x

- I hope so mine seems to be getting more sensitive not less so was making me very worried. Holding the baby now is sore, wearing cloths is sore it fells like it should all be bruised that’s the only way I can describe the felling.

Nerves knitting back together and muscles getting used to being used again. I'm slightly less sensitive at 15 weeks post but still don't like being touched on my tummy and still have days where its a bit sore x

I have felt this, not the discharge but I’m 3 weeks pp and the skin close to my belly button hurts. I know it’s the skin and not inside but clothes etc does hurt x

Help

I was getting pretty painful period cramps and during those, I had painful lower back cramps. I had these on and off for like a few hours so from about 10:30pm to 1am?

I’ve had no show, or anything like that.

Is this braxton hicks or early labour pains?

Little girl turning herself sideways in next to me

My little girl tonight, has spun herself so she is lying sideways in her next to me, making me panic!

Is this normal at 4.5 months, do I just lie her back normally/vertically?

Labour??

I’ve had on/off mild period cramps since 9 last night, very irregular and very mild, but I just had one that woke me up. My waters haven’t gone and nor has my mucous plug… but could this be a sign that it’s close?! I’m 40+3 and desperate to meet her!

Ways to induce labor naturally

Hi All! FTM, Entering week 40 and no signs of labor, no dilation yet. Please share tips and ways to induce natural labor. Induction is already scheduled on week 41 but don’t want to go through that process.

Early waters/pre term labour?

I can’t get checked until later today unfortunately. I can’t tell if I’m leaking/starting early. I definitely think I’m having braxton hicks yesterday and today.. i have some pain in my back but she is quite low down so hoping it’s just pressure, baby was a little quieter yesterday but she’s back to more normal movements today, but my underwear just seems to get so wet, especially after going to the bathroom. And I honestly can’t work out the smell, I’m pretty sure it’s just discharge/urine leaking but there’s that worry in my mind a little. Are there any other ways to know/check if it could be the start of it all?

Groin pain?

So I’m 34 weeks with my second and for a couple days now I’ve had terrible groin pain so bad that sometimes I can’t even walk or shift a certain way or I feel like the baby is just gonna rip out of my groin… I definitely was uncomfortable towards the end with my last pregnancy but this is just absolutely awful. Is anyone else experiencing this? Or anything that helps?? It’s making it so hard to still care for a toddler when I can barely move without pain..
