C Section Recovery & Sleep

Hey Ladies,

I’m scheduled for a c section in a week and already thinking about how I’m going to sleep comfortably with the incision after. With my first baby it was an emergency c section so I was not prepared for the pain and ended up sleeping in my recliner for a month until it don’t hurt to sit myself up using my core. This time I’d like a more comfortable set up but I don’t have one of the fancy reclining mattresses. Anyone have any suggestions on what worked best or a good wedge pillow?

Hospital bag review

I’m 37 weeks and told the baby can come anytime so I got to packing my hospital bag tonight.

Ladies, please review this.

Do you think this is good enough for a hospital bag?

I also have 2 Lindt chocolate bars (snacks), L&D gown just in case and a going out outfit for when I leave the hospital.

C section recovery feeling stuck

Anyone else pp feeling stuck/ trapped?
4 weeks pp c section so I can’t get out and about and anything with a newborn is hard. Feeling stuck and frustrated in the same place on the couch feeding and contact napping. I know that’s what I’m mean to be doing but how did you get out of the feeling of being useless / stuck.

C-Section vs Vaginal Birth

Hello! I’m a first time mum to a 5 month old. I had an instrumental vaginal delivery. My preference was to avoid c-section if possible due to the recovery time, but of course would have accepted it if it was needed for any emergency reasons. Thankfully, I didn’t need a c-section.

Are any mums who had an elective c-section able to share why? This is a no judgement zone, I’m just curious is all! 🥰

Boy names

I am REALLY struggling to name my baby.. I’m due in 3 weeks. Did anyone else have this issue? How did you pick? I really don’t like most name options, and the ones I like, my husband doesn’t and vice versa. Help.
