Periods

Mamas please tell em I’m not the only one… had my last baby and said I was DONE! Had my tubes completely removed. “I have pcos and endometriosis”. It was supposed to make my cycles be lighter and easier.
HA!!! What a joke. This is my second period now since having my baby and I feel like I’m about to DIE with my periods. So heavy. So painful. Nothing helps with this pain. I mean NOTHING. I’d rather go through natural child birth than deal with this. Is this normal to feel like this? Anyone else have bad periods after getting tubes removed!?

Just left hospital…

Omg just had an elective section when does the pain stop?
I’m day 1 today & although I’m moving around I’m only having paracetamol and ibuprofen which I can’t see helping! I’m so sore.
I’m gonna need to do stairs too. Also I’ve got a pico dressing any advice on making the most of that too x

Is my baby ok?!

My little girl will be 4 months soon, and the past few weeks she literally stiffens her whole body up straight when I try to sit her on my lap.. before a feed, after a feed or just to sit her in her chair? She also curves her back a lot when I hold her head over my shoulder to wind her??? It’s like she literally wants to get herself up from being sat down??? She also does it when she has a little bit of a temper? Anyone???

What week did you go into labor?

I’m having a c-section at 39+1, and I’m terrified labor will start before then. Currently at 37+3. I know some people deliver earlier or later than the included options. Feel free to share!

Water

How can I encourage my baby to drink water and a decent amount? I’ve tried different Tommee Tippee bottles/ cups with different straw types, we’ve tried Munchkin as it was recommended which worked really well but now he’s lost interest. He’s 11 months but will be on formula until he reaches 12 corrected in the summer but I’m worried that if by that time he still isn’t drinking he won’t be getting enough fluids

For elective c sections ?

For elective sections- do they do this bang on due date? Or can they wait two weeks like they do if you were overdue and going to be induced?
