Is it tubal removal or the c section?

If you’ve had just a tubal and a relate, or if you only had a csection and can relate mark that on the poll.

I’ve had 3 kids prior that were vaginal. This last kid was c section and I got a tubal removal. I’m over a year postpartum and I’ve had symptoms that I didn’t have after the vaginal birth. As soon as my period started back up around 3 months postpartum.

Now I get very goopy discharge during ovulation. Painful pelvic pain in general but especially after orgasms and even days after. For my periods the day before I start to bleed I get actual contraction feeling cramps. I’ve had painful cramps in the past but this feels the same as labor contractions. It also bleeds off and on for the duration of the period as well. Where before it was a simple start until it stopped completely.

Again none of these complications occurred after the vaginal deliveries.
So I don’t know if they could stem from tubal or c section 🤷‍♀️
Also curious about any other symptoms you all have had?

Birth partner

Has anybody else not taken their husband /wife /partner with them when they went into labour? My husband came with me the first time but I’m genuinely thinking of taking my mum this second time around she hasn’t asked me to or knows that I want her to maybe come. I just feel like my partner isn’t reliable enough for me to get in touch with him all. Maybe it’s done it once don’t need to do it again situation I don’t know but I thought it was normal to take your partner but maybe not for everybody?

35+1

Waters have broke!!! It’s go time!!! No hints and then suddenly waters broke and had a contraction 5 minutes later, now having contractions every 4-5 minutes!

Cancelled elective c section

I was originally booked in for a low risk elective C-section on Thursday 17th. Was in my scrubs ready to and after being in hospital for nearly 8 hours I was told they couldn’t do it due to emergencies.
Went back today (19th) and told I was the only one booked in but obviously any emergencies would be prioritised which I completely understand. Got ourselves really excited and prepared that after Thursday’s drama it would happen today. After being in hospital for another 5 hours we were sent home again and told to go back tomorrow.
Have to fast again and return first thing in the morning and been told again I am the only one listed (apart from emergencies again) but I just have absolutely no faith that they will actually do it tomorrow. Has anyone ever heard of an elective c-section being cancelled on the day 3 times?

Just to note I am 40+2 now and want to avoid the induction, hence the choice to go for elective C-section.

Can anyone give me any reassurance and any advice if I am again turned away tomorrow?

Consistent tightenings

I’ve been having braxton hicks since about 1pm every 10ish minutes. They’re not painful but it’s been about 4.5 hours. Is there any chance this could be labour? Or just braxton hicks?

Low waters

Hi, I went for a scan yesterday (36 +5) as I’d had reduced movements about 2 weeks go. This was a follow up scan to ensure baby had grown.
When at my scan they said my waters seemed low so sent me to triage.
I had the swab to see if I was leaking waters which was negative.
I have another scan and CTG tomorrow. Has anyone else had this before either this pregnancy or previous. I feel like I’m spiralling and I’m so anxious. This is my third baby.

Hurts during sex

I am a FTM and finally having sex after months of not doing it ( dont want to get pregnant again for awhile lol). But everytime me and my husband have sexy time, it hurts on the walls inside. This might be tmi but I just need to know if this is normal and if any other moms have delt with this. We are also using condoms for the first time in years so that might be a factor to the pain as well
