C section pain

Is anyone having a lot of pain after their c section? I can barely walk and constant throbbing - this is my second one for context

Sorry to hear this, how many days postpartum are you? I’m 6days pp and pain started significantly improving yesterday day 5. I’m still taking it really easy though and limiting movement

Same as Kyla it took about 5 days for me to feel significantly better. Mine was on the 1st and I think from about the 10th I felt nearly back to normal

First night home was hell, i couldn't stop crying. Honestly walking really helps. Also my 2nd, found it more harder than the first pain wise but found i healed a bit quicker. Im 12 days pp started feeling "better" around day 6 onwards x

I’m on day 4, post C-section also 2nd time around, from day 2 my pain reduced significantly, but do find if I’m standing for a long period or done a bit too much I do get a tad sore, just try to keep on top of meds etc and yourll feel better in no time!

As someone who has had 2 c sections, one perfect and one with extreme infection, this sounds like infection. Please get it checked. I had sepsis with my first and it was a constant throbbing pain I couldnt shift and I would be crying waiting for my next painkillers. This time round I am up on my feet and doing all my normal things on day 6.

Mine wasn't as bad the second time round. I was mobile a lot quicker too. Maybe get it seen to?

Oh my God, oh my God I hope this is not true!!!! I’m kind of scared

I’ve been throwing up and taking a shit all night!!! I just hope that it’s not what I think it is

Scan needed at 33 weeks

Hi ladies! I just had a midwife appointment (I am 33+5)..the midwife was different to my usual midwife. She's requested I have a scan within 72 hours as she said baby is measuring a little small, however, she did say that it's likely nothing to worry about and it's probably just her measuring me a bit different to my usual midwife. Has anyone else had this? Am a bit worried although babys heartbeat and movements are completely fine.

Finding out gender

Has anyone found out the gender at a private scan at 14 weeks? And has this been accurate?

I found out at 17 with my first but I know a scan place that offers from 14/15 weeks and I’m impatient 😂🥲

normal or infected?

5 weeks post c section , i went at the beginning of the week as my wound had opened completely different area to what’s leaking. was told it didn’t look infected. anyone know if this is normal coming off it, it’s only a little amount at a time

Hi

Hi guys so I’m 25 weeks today and I haven’t felt the baby kick at all yet at the scans she’s moving constantly that it’s hard to get the right measurements my first pregnancy was cryptic so I just want suggestions from one worried mother

Rolling milestone at 5 months - What’s typical ?

Good morning ladies,

My daughter will be 5 months old tomorrow, but there’s still no sign of her rolling. She does tummy time and loves lying on her mat, playing with hanging toys above her and to the sides, but she only lifts her legs and doesn’t seem interested in rolling or moving sideways yet.

Anyone else the same or have your babies already learnt how to roll yet ?

Thank you
