C section belly 2nd pregnancy, 2nd section

I had a c section today at 14:00.

My belly is still very cone shape and I’m so worried about this, GP is aware but obviously physio can’t really start until I had delivered, but the fact it’s cone shape now, I’m so scared. They said it went really well.

My belly is so big still, so big. I have cried and scared it won’t ever go down 😭😭😭😭

Position in baby carrier

Is the baby positioned properly in this baby carrier? I can kiss his head but he likes to lean on one side, is it ok?

No biggie

I just used the bus in Manchester for the first time, in a long time, with my baby! No big deal but I was just happy I had the courage.

C SECTION MAMAs

Just curious—those of you who had C-sections, how did your little ones turn out?
I recently read about research looking at possible associations between C-sections and ADHD/autism, and I was wondering what other moms' experiences have been. No judgment at all, just interested in hearing different stories!

Men on maternity ward

Has anyone been told that they can have their birth partner stay overnight with them in the hospital?

When I had my other babies it wasn't allowed. Dad's came as you went up to delivery and were only allowed to stay until 11 etc.

I don't feel comfortable labouring (I'm being induced) with men roaming about. Like legit in their pj's strolling around the ward using the patient toilets etc.

What's your opinions/experience?

Signs labour is coming…

What are the first signs you remember that Labour is coming?

It’s my third but all pregnancies have been so different. My son I lost my mucus plug and reduced movement. With my daughter my waters broke.

Today I am extremely uncomfortable, no matter where I am or what position I’m in. Going to the toilet more often (2) & baby has been so active but feels a lot lower.

Im just curious if there is other things that have happened that could be a sign but im unaware of.

Please help 🧡
