C-Section / More Kids?

I was told after your first time getting a c-section, all your future kids would be born that way, is it true moms? Furthermore, I thought I was going to die after that surgery and post partum , to have to go through that again even more than 2 times is scary. I wouldn’t wish this surgery on anyone! Am I alone with this thought?

You can try a VBAC but you just need to be aware of the risks and I think it depends on why you had the c section in the first place as to whether you’ll be more successful with a vaginal birth x

My doctor literally said “I made sure to see you up real good inside and out so that you can go for a vaginal birth in the future.” As they were wheeling me out of the OR lol so vbac is possible if your health allows!

You can try for a vbac but just need to read up on the risks. It does depends from person to person.
After my c section the doctor said "I see no reason why you wouldn't be able to have a natural birth next time". But obviously it is personal choice and whether it is worth the risk or not

Yes I had a c-section in 2023 and a VBAC in 2025. It’s possible.

I had a vaginal 2016 emergency c section 2017 and vbac in 2026. It’s possible and can go smoothly. The biggest thing is understanding your c section scar and if it will allow a vaginal delivery

Tired.

Mamas… what do you do when you’re tired? Tired of cooking, cleaning, taking care of kids, laundry, dishes, DINNER, taking care of a household shoot taking care of yourself.
I’m a ftm also sahm. I’m tired I want to run away. I feel like I have the whole world on my shoulders, the only true time I have to myself is at night then I’ll have to juggle going to bed at a decent time or stay up and regret it in the morning. I don’t like this feeling, HELP

Chores

When did you guys start vacuuming etc after a c section? I'm over the 6 week mark but can't remember with my first and don't want to push myself too much. X

NHS 12 week scan?

I’m coming up to 10 weeks and have my first booking appointment next week when I’ll be nearly 11 weeks- I’ve not heard anything about my 12 week scan? I had a private scan yesterday (photo) and the sonographer said my NHS scan should have been booked by now otherwise it will be too late to do any health screening?! Now I’m in a panic lol- has anyone else had their scan later than 12weeks as at this rate I think I’ll be having it between 13-15 weeks?

Is this normal or should I be concerned

So I’m a ftm I had my baby Feb 7 and I think I just started my period again I’m not completely sure but I just started bleeding again and been having soreness down there like how I did after I had her and I’ve been feeling nauseous and threw up today I haven’t had any cramps and it doesn’t feel like my usual period I feel like I’m over reacting but I’m not sure cuz again this is my first so idk how healing processes are

20 weeks and baby’s weight so far

My 20 week scan ~ so far my baby is 0lb 14oz and now my delivery has changed to 38 weeks due to my c section scar being too weak apparently. I’m genuinely so nervous about it all. Is that a big weight for the baby so far ? My last were 9 pound and 10 pound babies 😢😢 sorry for the random post this early 😂
