This is my 3rd baby, first one had an emergency c section at 41+6. / second baby vaginal ( traumatic ) at 37+2.. Tomorrow i will be 38+2 and decided to go for elective c section.. i am so freaking scared 😱. My last section was 10 years ago and i don’t really remember the pain or the healing process.. any advice ?

I got my date last night, and I am SHITTING it 😂✨ but all excited at the same time. I had one with my little boy just over 2 years ago. Your going to be absolutely fine, be excited that your baba will be here in your arms tomorrow & you can looking forward to warmer weather with your gorgeous babies (that’s what I’m telling myself 😂) Xx

I had a c section Wednesday! I much perfered it compared to my natural with forphes and being cut😫I can only describe it as imagine looking for something in your you handbag you can’t find😂just make sure you have your painkillers in on day 4 now and I’m only a bit sore but managing everything , but being able to wee and not have stiches down there was relif for me just take it easy xx

I used a c section belt after my first and it was an absolute lifesaver!

With him I just used one off of Amazon (like one of those elastic back braces that you can do up tighter with velcro) I am booked in for another c section next week and I have bought a frida c section belt off of vinted as it's padded and I have a wild two year old so I am hoping it will offer me some protection too 😂 but I am keeping the old one to hand as it was brilliant! Made it much less scary to cough/ sneeze/ laugh 😂
