Wanting my tubes tied during C-section

I just wanted to hear others experience with this and the whole process really, I am in my first trimester but I know I don't want anymore children and I'm 27 (I'll be almost 28 when my youngest will be born).

I got it done at the same time and I think healing purposes that was the best but I will say the after effects of it for me make me regret my decision. My my periods are so bad that I’m probably gonna have to go on birth control anyways and I have more cramping than I did years before.

I had my tube tied during the third and last c-section, it took a little longer than just a c-section but wasn’t a problem. What specifically would you like to know?

Had mine removed during my c section back in January. They said it took an extra 5 minutes and healing was no different. I did not notice any difference with my period.

I got mine done during my c section and don’t think it prolonged my recovery time at all. It also, to my knowledge, doesn’t change your hormones so any period changes would happen regardless of tubes tied or not and be more related to the pregnancy than anything else

I think broching the subject will I have push back from the Dr's, will I sign a form and on the flip side potential issues for periods after having it done etc after I think

I had mine done 5 weeks ago with our 3rd. I haven’t noticed any changes yet. I’ve been bleeding on and off. Which I’ve been told by more than 3 practitioners, is normal.

Calling in sick from work

Please someone reassure me it is okay to do this as I can’t stop myself feeling guilty. I’ve called in sick today from work as I’m burnt out, exhausted and not feeling great. Also my mental health has been shocking. I’m 19 weeks pregnant with a 17 month old and never get the chance to just do nothing or rest. All my holiday had to be used before I returned to work or I wouldn’t have been paid so I don’t have any holiday to take now, calling in sicks my only choice. It doesn’t help either that last week I was REALLY struggling with my mental health and had 2 breakdowns at work then as I was leaving on the last day a colleague fell out with me, threatened to discuss it with a manager and I left in floods of tears in a bad way. I’ve not been back since and am dreading returning. Annoyingly though I’ve slept this morning after dropping my lo to nursery and I feel no more energised for it🤦🏼‍♀️

C-section question.

How soon did people drive after c-section?

I know the advice is 6 weeks but did anyone go sooner?

Growth scan!

We went for a growth scan today as my bump was measuring smaller(currently 37 weeks) , however, they’ve said she looks to be growing really well and currently weighs 7lb 4 which is apparently slightly above average! Would this be 100% right? Or has anyone been told that their babies weight is one thing on a growth scan and completely different when they’re born? It’s our first baby so have no idea🩷

Uterine polyps

😭 so I've had non stop heavy uterine bleeding for the last 4 months. I've had two ultrasounds which seem to suggest that I have a uterine polyp but they can't be sure, doesn't look like it's anything worse.
I've now been referred to gynaecology and having just chased my appointment as per the NHS app instructions been told the wait time to be seen is 12-18 months 😢
Firstly I'm scared that it is something bad and leaving it this long is not a good idea, and secondly my daughter has just turned 1 and because of my age (almost 40) we were hoping to start trying for a second next year.
I can't afford to go private at this time as it can cost up to £4500 for the procedure I'm expecting to have.

Has anyone had the same? Have any of you got pregnant with a polyp and it's been ok?
I'm so worried that I get pregnant again and lose the baby, or it causes complications for me (I don't want to leave my LG 🙏🏼💔) or that I bleed my whole pregnancy and I'm constantly anxious something is wrong.

My GP has said she doesn't think there would be any issues trying again now that I'm 12 months post c section.

My LG was born via emergency c section under general anaesthetic at 35 weeks because I had maternal sepsis so my anxiety in another pregnancy will be high anyway.
