Complete placenta previa

Hi , im currently 25w1d . Ive had 2 natural births prior from this pregnancy. I was told after getting my second anatomy scan , that i have complete placenta previa and i would have to do a planned c section around 36 weeks. All ive been doing is research and im not so sure it’s the best idea. Im terrified . For the surgery/recovery. Etc. i just really wanted to know if anyone had any advice on the preparation and process . And what i should really look into as this being my first c section.

episiotomy question, anyone who’s had one please?

Ladies who have had a episiotomy how long till you have sex after birth I’m guessing safest option is defo 6 weeks like the usual ? And when did you first shave? Cos it’s killing me not doing both 🤣🤣😭but I don’t want to risk anything so prob best to wait right?

First period after pregnancy

Hi moms! When did you get your first period after giving birth? I'm 4 months postpartum. I had an emergency C-section on December 23rd, 2025, at 28weeks of pregnancy, and I started my first period last Friday (4/10). It's a heavy flow with many small to medium blood clots, and I need to change my pads frequently. Today is day 9, and the flow is still heavy, so I have to change pads every 3-4 hours. I've switched to pants-style underwear. Should I be worried? This is my second baby; my first was 14 years ago, so this feels all new to me again.

Is anyone else struggling with start of 2nd trimester anxiety?

It's like it came on out the blue and I juat cannot calm it. I feel so unprepared and worried, and just cannot switch my brain off.

My partner isn't the most supportive, but I do have a great network in a couple of friends and my mum.

It's hard having gone from really enjoying being pregnant and looking forward to everything, to what all of a sudden feels like fear and worry.

Any coping mechanism recommendations are more than welcome 🙏
