Is it true you have to not eat 24 hours before a c section?

I had an emergency one last time so I had eaten a couple of hours before but the reason I’m worrying is that I’ve just gone 5 hours without food and genuinely got the shakes, nearly passed out, felt really sick and dizzy. I genuinely don’t think I can do 24 hours of it

Emergency c section ( back pain)

I’m 6 months pp and since my daughter has been born I’ve been struggling with intense back pain radiating down to my knees . I’ve been referred for physio by my GP but it’s a 15 week wait list … the pain is getting so bad it’s keeping me up at night . Just wondering if any other mamas have experienced the same thing ?

Blood clots

Im 8 dp. I just went to toilet for a wee after feeding my lo. And passed a blood clot which was (felt) definitely bigger than 50p coin. There was a big splash to it. No excessive bleeding, in fact I transitioned to bigger period pad for the day. No pain. Should I do anything? Is one big clot an issue?

15 weeks

when did everyone start feeling baby move? i’m 15 weeks with my second waiting very patiently 😅

Question for mums🌸

I’m 35 weeks pregnant and I’ve been having this sharp weird pain all the way down my crotch every time the baby moves. It feels like a lot of pressure but not like “oh he’s moving it’s pressure” pressure. It’s like a wiggle that’s so painful my first reaction is to slap my thigh😂. It feels like he’s about to escape. I’ve never had this pain before. This morning I woke up with my rib cages aching and my back too. I’m sat up straight and all I felt was something trying to escape from my crotch it was so intense and painful!!!!

What is going ONNNN did this happen to anyone else?

Birthday

Baby is turning one in September. Does anyone have any good gift ideas. We don't want to go over the top as it's not far from christmas. We would like to get a few bits, but nothing crazy.
5 did people do for a birthday party as I was looking at hiring a hall put, just because we couldn't host both families at our house. But just wondered if there was anything better than this as we would have to set up and do the food ourselves so would just be adding work for us to do

A little disappointed by the 16 weeks appointment 🙃

Was told by midwife we would listen to the heartbeat at 16 weeks and that it would be a nice appointment to bring my little one along. Told my little one about it and she was super excited and only to find out they stopped checking heartbeats at 16 weeks just a few weeks ago! 🙃 my little one luckily didn’t react to it when she told us in the appointment but the second we got to the car, she was very upset because she wanted to hear the baby’s heartbeat!!
