C - Section

How’s everyone feeling that are having planned sections? I’m starting to feel really anxious and have the most irrational thoughts!

So so so so so nervous, I’m terrified of all things medical and can’t have vaginal due to transverse baby

Yes, having my second c section on 7.05. I will be 37 weeks and 1 day pregnant. Somehow this time around as I know what to expect I am a bit more anxious but excited at the same time. What worries you?

hey i had one on friday and genuinely i got there and said to the staff “please don’t do this to me i don’t want it” but i PROMISE the worst part about the whole thing is getting the cannula in your hand, the spinal just feels like pressure but it’s not painful, and then from then on you can just feel like pins and needles when people touch you. i wont lie when the surgery went on it was the weirdest sensation and i dont think anyone can prepare you for that but it 1000% doesn’t hurt. during it my blood pressure dropped (which is common with the spinal) and it made me feel really sick i told the man stood by my head he literally pressed a button on a machine and within seconds i didnt feel sick anymore it was amazing. i asked them to not let me know what was going on because i was so nervous and just wanted to be distracted and the whole time i didnt hear a single medical term or anything. everyone around was sooo calm and genuinely id do it all again 1000 times over

Suddenly feeling really sick

So I've just turned 37 weeks, and out of no where suddenly feeling really nauseous and have vomited just the once so far. I've put it down to little ones position as my bump has dropped a little bit.

Anyone else experienced this? I don't remember feeling like this with my first.

20 week scan date

I saw a tiktok about the 20 week scan needing to be done by 20+6 which i never thought of, mine will now be when I'm 21 weeks as my due date got moved up by a few days. I've never heard of this before and wondering if this will be an issue - I will obviously contact the midwives to double check but I never knew it was that strict

Baby girl 'mini period'

Has anyone else's baby girl had a mini period in the first weeks of life?

I heard of it beforehand but now my little girl has been getting small amounts of blood in her nappy and its a little scary to see although I'm told it's totally normal? 🥲

Anxious help

I’ve eaten pepperoni on pizza (not boiling hot) without realising it was on the not safe to eat list

I’m TERRIFIED. Haven’t had contact from midwives yet so can even ask but please someone advise me or help. If something has gone wrong would I know what would I feel

I’m scared and crying

Anyone else with a Velcro Baby?

Let me vent! Baby only wants me ALL THE TIME. I can’t do anything without her, even if I’m in sight…
It’s cute and I know it’s developmental but I just want to have someone else hold her without her flipping out…
