Back pain and induced labour

Just had my 34 week midwife appointment (been referred for an urgent scan as baby is measuring a little too big) but, my midwife has suggested advocating for a induction from 37 weeks due to my severe back pain. I have scoliosis and struggling to leave the house without being in excruciating pain. I’m not completely against the idea but want to hear opinions of others on induction! Please nothing too scary :( x

So frustrated! C section today

Today I’m booked in for an elective c section. After an awful induction process with my 1st that ended in an emergency c section, I had such big plans to make this one a lovely experience.

Take away the night before, my daughter at her grandparents so we can get a good night sleep 🩷

The grandparents wouldn’t have her because they both had work today, which was fine. She’s usually a really good sleeper and has 12 hours 7pm-7am no problem.

Nope, she’s been up every hour during the night and started her day at 5am. We are both exhausted!

Is this a good enough reason to reschedule my section!?

Muscle pain in left calf

Since yesterday morning I woke up feeling like I’d absolutely smashed the gym, but only in my left calf. To the point I’m actually limping with it. Not sure if it’s linked but it’s also paired with a splitting headache. 24 hours later and there’s no improvement. Chat GPT has freaked me out saying it could be a blood clot but I wanted to check here to see if anyone else had had this before ringing 111. Also, should I ring 111?

Early Labour enquiry

My waters broke at 29 weeks which was 2 weeks ago rough now I went into labour and put down in the labour ward and was contracting the day my waters broke they eventually calm down and I got sent up to award to be looked after then later on be sent home I then came back into hospital three days ago due to signs of infection as I was dizzy and headache, high temperature abdominal pain, reduced movements and severe chest pain and shortness of breath I’ve come in and I have no sign of infection apparently but my infection markers had risen but still in the safe zone. Then going back into the labour ward last night with contractions really close together and ended up losing quite a bit of blood which has now stopped contractions have slowed down but still there what is everyone’s experience with Early labour or possibility of having a premature? I feel like my body has failed me this pregnancy. Should I be worried

Uk c-section

I am a size 24 uk, and Friday I had an emergency section. I do have an overhanging belly and have done for years but could anyone tell me their experience with the person and healing process? I’m no fool I know it’s major surgery, but I can barely walk, I cannot stand up straight. I’m scared to go home because our bed is so low down and c weirdly it feels like I’ve b pulled a muscle in my hip that I expect I’d need. When do I start to feel better. Thanks

Second c-section

When was everyone cleared to drive after their second c-section? Also when was everyone cleared to pick up their toddler?
