6months PP

I am almost 6 months post c-section & experiencing pain during sex (deeper inside) along with painful episodes of diarrhoea usually around my ovulation time. (sorry tmi) and ended up with thrush after sex. I have obviously been googling and Endometriosis could be suspected or various other reasons. I'm just wondering has anyone else had similar? how do you get a diagnosis for this and could that cause infertility? My scar has always been a bit sore on and off or if I do certain things but I thought that was normal.

I’ve had the same issue started 5 months pp n is still happening at almost 9 months pp, I went to my gp and I’m having an internal scan, endo is extremely hard to get diagnosed with takes on average 8 years of back n fourth to gp, surgeries, gyno appointments and consists of excruciating pains during periods- that badly u can’t move and nothing eases the pain, bloating so severely u look 9 months pregnant, back pain and tons of other things

I have Endometriosis stage 3, the only way to be diagnosed is through laparoscopic procedure, it took me 7 years to be diagnosed, going back and foward to the doctors and they finally agreed to do the procedure, thrush isn't bought on by Endometriosis that's caused by if having sex and not washing out straight afterwards, the symptoms are very far and wide with endo. It can cause painful sex, excruciatingly painful periods to the point of keeling over in pain and not being able to get out of bed, feeling very sick, painful bowel movements, painful urinating if held to long, stomach bloating looking 6 months pregnant, excessive tiredness even after a good night's sleep. Very heavy periods and irregular. Also feels like barbed wire is being ripped through the stomach, pelvis, back and vagina. All these symptoms are what i experience, all are different but most are like this. Like I say the only way to get diagnosed is through laparoscopy but the doctors will go down other avenues first before referral.

Hi, I had some pain during sex for several months, depending on the position. But the pain was more on my scar than in down there. But now, 19 months after, I am fine. I have not had pain for a few months now. Maybe still a bit early? I was constantly in pain. I couldn't even lift a lot of weight. Maybe call your GP?

Hospital bag (UK)

What did everyone pack for their section? I'm staying in for 3 days due to mental health, not really sure what I'll need to bring, feeling very nervous. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

Pregnancy after c section

What time scale did everyone get pregnant again after a c section?
I know the doc said they recommend eating at least a year to 18 months but it took 4 years to get pregnant the first time after being told we could not conceive naturally so not wanting to stop it happening knowing it could take a very long time again but also worried.

Labour

Think im a bit confused really, i went into traige as was having contractions eveey 3-5mins. Since being here im now having them every 2-3mins which was confirmed with the machine and i think the toco was 90-100 and they feel painful and my lower back is in loads of pain but apparently im only just over 2cm dilated maybe, she has said i can stay here for a bit longer to see if things progress as had a previous quick birth as well but i dont understand why the pains are coming this quick if im only 2cm dilated and feel a bit deflated from it also.

I had a sweep this morning also.

C section trauma ?

Is it a thing to be traumatised by a c section delivery? I’m 4 weeks pp after having an emergency c section. I won’t go into the ins and outs to what got me there 😂
Nothing went wrong in the surgery at all, it was just incredibly intense, overwhelming and scary, but luckily my baby was delivered safe!
However I’m finding my birth experience quite difficult to even think about and when I do, I feel a horrid gut wrenching feeling, my heart aches and I just uncontrollably cry! My body feels really alien to me, like it’s not my own and I just feel really let down.
