I've had 4 and there was a 10 yr gap between the last 2. And I had 0 complications and would do it again if it didn't cost me an arm and a leg to get pregnant

I have had 3 and my doctor said I can have another. I haven’t had any complications.

Had 2 and was told I have no uterine thinning and minimal scar tissue so she’s happy with me having 3/4 babies like I want.

As long as you allow yourself to fully heal, remain healthy and low risk there’s no limit. My aunt had 5 with no issues to her or the kids.

The risks are really if you don’t heal enough between pregnancies, have existing health issues like a high BMI or remain a high risk patient. Things like uterine thinning are the big risk and that’s why they say 18m minimum between babies to heal properly.

My other two were vbac

I’ve had 3, currently on my 4th & final pregnancy and will also be a section. First was an emergency, the rest were planned. During my last section the surgeon ‘cleared up’ some scar tissue so I’d be able to carry again with no complications

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

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 😊

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

Pregnancy after c section

When can you get pregnant after c section for it to be healthy and not dangerous for your c section scar?

22 weeks honestly to be concerned about movement?

I’m 22 weeks pregnant with my first, I’ve been feeling baby move regularly for the past week, she doesn’t usually stop moving, but the last day or two I’ve not felt her as much, like the odd movement here and there but not as much as usual. Is it too early to be worried? I’ve been told that they don’t start regular movements till nearer 28 weeks but I’m just paranoid that I felt her so much before and now not as much.
