Hemorrhoids?

Did anyone else experience hemorrhoids after their c section? I know it’s common with a vaginal delivery but wondered if it was normal with caesarean too..

I thought it was more related to pregnancy and the weight of the baby on everything rather than birthing but I may be wrong!x

I did, randomly about 4wks post C-section, which I did think wasn’t ‘normal’ but I just got over the counter cream and it went away

You can get them after a c section as it's due to the pregnancy and the weight of carrying baby/extra pressure not the delivery method. I had them and had a c section.

you're right! X

Yes... I'm suffering very badly at 9w pp. Nothing helps, it's a nightmare and so so painful. I've seen the GP and he prescribed a cream to numb the pain but nothing seems to work on shrinking them back. 😭😭😭

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!

Almost 37 weeks + told to do another growth scan

I just had my second to last doctor’s appointment this morning, and my OB told me she wants me to do another growth scan because my belly is measuring small. She says it’s probably just because I’m a smaller woman, but they like to be safe. It’s hard to hear though, since I just did one a couple months ago.

I did this with my firstborn around this time of pregnancy, so I do think I just carry smaller (even though I don’t feel like I look “small” at all). My first baby was 6lbs 15oz when she was born at 41 weeks + 2 days. I’m having this baby at 39 weeks on April 7. I hope she’s still at least 6lbs.

Anyone have any stories similar to this?
