Water run? Morrisons test.

Hi! Took this test this morning (12dpo, no period yet) and I’ve seen this on my test. Unsure if it’s a water run or maybe something more. What are your thoughts?

Baby boy is here

Baby boy arrived yesterday, 6/11. His due date was 6/19. We are all doing fine.

Should dads be allowed to stay on the maternity unit overnights?

When I was in having my last baby, the written rules were dads had to leave by say 10pm and could come back in the following morning. It wasn’t until hours after I said goodbye to my husband I realised that the 3 other women in the room had been allowed to have their partners stay. One was snoring loudly, one was constantly walking and hovering about and also using the in room toilet which stated patient only. The gaps in the curtains made me feel extremely uncomfortable with boobs out,bleeding and vulnerable as you expect after a birth. I also was aware they could hear every personal question the midwife would ask me. This is making me anxious for my delivery this time around :-(

Terrified of ripping down there..

I’m considering a C-section for a few reasons including PGP. But amongst a few of the major reasons are i’m afraid of ripping or messing up my vagina. I’ve heard some women say months after birth they’re still scared to look down there or that they took a mirror and looked one day and had a major jump scare 😰😱 It’s just the extra healing time, the complications i would have with post surgery pain management from medication i’m already on, and the added risk of a major surgery, plus a lot of benefits i would lose for myself and baby by not having a natural birth.. Does anyone have anything to add? 🙏

Overhang above C-section scar

Can anyone give me tips on how to get rid of overhang? I had an emergency C-section 23 weeks ago.

I think I may be pregnant.

So, I've been experiencing a lot of pregnancy symptoms for the past 3 weeks or so. I took 2 pregnancy tests, and they were both negative. So I don't know what to think. But Chatgpt said it was two soon for the tests. So I don't know. I'm just confused and have a lot of mixed emotions. My best friend thinks I am pregnant, however. I'm getting all the symptoms I got when I was pregnant with my son, tho. But I think I'd just wait for my cycle, and if it doesn't come, that'll let me know if I am. What do you think, tho?

C Section Advice

Hi! Our baby is breech, and we just tried an ECV which was unsuccessful at 37 weeks. Our c section is scheduled for June 25. Moms who have had c sections- how can I prepare? Should I get a binder for afterwards? Any tips on how to best care for myself and baby would be so appreciated!
