Advice Cystoscopy + balloon dolatation

Hi, my son is 21 months and had ongoing scans as he was born with a dilated left kidney. Function tests showed that the kidney function has decreased therefore an intervention is necessary. Does anyone have experience of this type of procedure?

How do you handle the pressure to constantly do activities?

I see so many mums keeping a packed daily schedule, and it makes me feel guilty that I don't do the same for my 9 weeks old daughter. Do you feel like your baby needs constant out-of-the-home stimulation, or is a slower, quieter routine at home just as good?

Early labour?

Hey girls. I’m 34 weeks pregnant and having a couple of symptoms.
Please tell me if you think this could be early labour?

- diarrhoea. (5/6 times a day)
- period like pains at the bottom of my belly.
- feeling sick. Gone off food slightly.
- lost my mucus plug 3 days ago

I’m honestly not sure 😂😩

Last min C-section

Hey mamas! I was getting induced at 39 weeks since baby is big. The induction itself last over 30 hours and the doctor then suggested it turn into a c-section delivery. It was the most mortifying experience ever, being deliriously drugged up and in pain for such a long period of time, then being told the initial operation was unsuccessful.

Now I’m about 6 days post-partum and healing at home. Any mamas have advice on whether scar cream is necessary? Is it that effective? Which one did you use?

Any advice to speed up recovery?

Thanks!
