baby is here!! positive birth story!

Baby boy is here & i was supposed to have another c section today (april 13th) well my son had other plans and came a day early.
labor started on its own. i got to the hospital with contractions 3 minutes apart they checked me and i was 4cm dilated.
the contractions were AWFUL, the doctor came in literally 7 minutes later and i was at an 8 !
he said he could do the c section but he’d have to knock me out because there was literally no time due to dilating so fast or i could attempt vbac.
he quickly answered all my questions i could get out about vbac and told me since i was already at a 10 that vbac is less risky.
so i had my baby vaginal all natural with no epidural it was the absolute hardest & most painful thing but most beautiful thing ive ever done.
he and i are both safe and healthy and thats all that matters!! 🩵

Baby Boy arrived Easter weekend

My baby boy was born on 2nd April at 9lbs 6oz via elective cesarean. I was desperately hoping for a VBAC but the system broke me in the end, they kept bringing me in for scan after scan and talking about his size, my age, low papp-a etc. I'm the end i wasn't strong enough against the tidal wave of the NHS but looking back i wish I had been more confident in my own ability so for all of you holding out for a vaginal labour I hope you get what you want x

My son was born with a hernia and is due an operation this week, but he's thriving and happy 😊

Leaving baby in the car

Would you leave your baby locked in the car whilst you fill up with petrol and then go and pay in the shop for the petrol? Like is that allowed? I don’t have an option to to pay at the pump where I live you have to go inside, but I don’t want to get her out the car to then go in to pay to then bring her back out to put her back in the car

How many C-sections have you had?

I’ve had 2 C-sections and we still want more kids but we know the risks of having multiple and it’s scary?

Fans

Which fan is everyone going for or loving? Didn’t realise how high the risk rate of SIDS drops with a fan so just thinking of which to get and where to place it near the bedside cot 🤔 any tips/reccomendations welcome
