need advice!

I (22) just had my first baby a month ago now via c-section due to physical pain that made me unable to push. I love her and I would've loved to have another one but the pain is so unbearable that I dont think I could have another one. Did anyone else feel this way? Or could give me advice of how to bring it up better to my husband?

I felt like this … and then 8 weeks post partum I can’t remember at all what it felt like. If you only had baby a month ago, you’ve got a very long time before you should safely consider another anyway. Your mind may change again, bear in mind you still have lots of hormones, lack of sleep etc. honestly you don’t need to even think about it atm, and if he keeps bringing it up tell that you are focusing on this baby right now! If you get to him asking to try for another, and you still feel the same, then have the conversation because honestly you don’t need to be worrying about it at all right now! Also if you are in pain still, I’d maybe get checked out as idk if it is supposed to be hurting so significantly 4 weeks post x

I understand I’m 2 months pp . I had an emergency c section after 2 days of labor , and just a hard high risk pregnancy . I think it’ll just take as much time as we need to process what our bodies went through . Ik my mother has had 5 children and each labor was different for her and most being a positive experience only her first was traumatic . Knowing that I think that labor (if you were to have a baby again ) could be very different than the first time . I hope other experienced mommas have more advice for you .Glad you and baby are healthy congrats !🫶

Ask for his help bcz he probably doesn't know what to do or how ur feeling, if you know your husband you get an idea of how he's going to react even if there's a doubt you'll never know if u dont bring it up, I cried everytime I got up but I would do it again because I know that pain is going to go away and looking at my 1 1/2 year old is would do it all over again. But it has to be your choice...
I am also 22 a.t.m and my son is 1 1/2 ,everything hurt all day all the time but you have to keep moving and make sure u put that compression band on i found that helped alot and I made the mistake of staying im bed and it hurt me more, I hope things get better and I hope your happy

Would you be okay with this?

Your daughter is 7 and her friend is turning 7. Friend has a sleepover for her bday (so obviously you’re not there and it’s supervised by her parents).
Afterwards your daughter tells you they’re now in a relationship and they kiss often in school (since the sleepover).

I’m not questioning if you’d be ok with the gay part obvs, but for context the friends parents are wlw too

They’re not my kids but I feel like I’d want a chat with the friend’s parents to find out if anything happened in that sleepover under their supervision, or am I dramatic and it’s fine?

General anaesthetic c section

Hello. I’m 39+3 and found out today my only option for giving birth is via a general anaesthetic c section due to my spinal injury and conditions.

I’m not great with hospitals as it is and have never had surgery so I’m really anxious about the whole thing, and finding it hard to process as I wanted a natural birth. Please can you tell me your positive experiences and tips for recovery?
Thank you x

Lazy baby?

Hello! So with the recommendations regarding baby’s movements in the womb, does anyone have a lazy baby sometimes moves lots sometimes doesn’t at all? Bare in mind I have an anterior placenta so I don’t feel every kick.

I mainly feel baby when I’m on my side and she likes to kick me at my sides.

I also haven’t figured out her pattern yet as she can be active at any time of the day randomly

Is anyone else feeling like this? Have you contacted triage for reduced movements?

This is also my first baby but I will say she is getting more active so this is a positive

Can someone please explain this to me? Contractions? I know like period cramps but ugh.

Dr checked me today. Still closed she said. I’m constantly getting cramps. She said because I am having a lot of cramps that she wants to check me in a week again. I can’t sit for long with out my actual butthole hurting though. I’m limping too. So idk when tf to think if it’s real contractions though lol

Any natural ways to induce labour?

I’m due to be induced at 38 weeks but hoping to go into labour first . Any ideas would be appreciated ladies.
Sex isn’t an option as it’s to uncomfortable and dates make me vomit.

1st Birthday!!!

Hello!! I’m not sure if I’m overthinking it but would it be good to have other babies at my daughter’s first birthday party? She hasn’t been around any other babies but I think it would be fun for her to be around others around her same age. Am I only one? Is anyone near the poconos that would be willing to come to a one year olds birthday party with your little one?
