If you had a c section did they announce your hemorrhoid status in the recovery room?

I don't remember this from the first time but when they were moving me to the recovery bed they flipped me over like a fish they just caught, examined my rear and announced "no hemorrhoids" to the room. 😭😂

Bump is still so high

Elective section what was your reason?

For those who had elective section please would you mind sharing your reason? 😊

C-section recovery

Hi all, I ended up having a C-section a fortnight ago and I have had to ask for more medication as I still had pain after the period they gave medication for. I’ve finished the blood thinning injections and now have the anti inflammatory and dehydrocodine if needed.

I’m finding that I’m having an on and off sharp pain in my right hand side that some days are barely there and I feel like I don’t need meds, then other days it’s unbearable.. is this normal recovery or something I need to bring up with my midwife? I’m also finding I am bleeding.. then it completely stops.. then starts heavy again ?!?

Health visitor just said it’s normal? But wanted to see if anyone had this?

What to do

I have my c-section coming up in a few days and found out the date when I received my letter at the weekend. I’m quite a private person so I decided to only tell my parents and partner. I have 2 older sisters but decided I would tell them the night before. My sister called me to ask the date and I made out I didn’t know it as I didn’t want to tell her. She took it upon herself to ring the hospital and they told her the date of my c-section. I don’t know if I’m being dramatic but I think that’s insane as she’s not listed as an emergency contact anywhere, and I’m quite irritated that they’ve told her because she could’ve been anybody. I’m not sure whether it’s worth putting a complaint in or not?

Sorry it’s long lol

1st birthday party

Is it really that bad if we dont celebrate my lg 1st birthday party?

Me and my partner has been torn if we will have a party for our little girl's 1st birthday party? As, my family will not be here( living in other country) and his family is somewhat not in good terms. So basically its just some of my workmate and some of his friends. Also, i dont know how to arrange a birthday party at all plus i dont usually dont know how much money i have to spend?😔😔
Now, i feel so deflated. I need help badly. Thank you.
