Scheduled C-section

Okay y’all, my C-section has officially been scheduled and now I’m officially terrified. 😭😮‍💨

In just 9 more weeks, my baby boy will be here! I know that’s still about 2 months away, but it suddenly feels so real now that there’s an actual date.

That’s only 61 days from now, and honestly, I’m excited and nervous all at the same time. I can’t wait to meet him, but the thought of surgery, recovery, and having a newborn again is definitely starting to hit me. So scary. 😅💙

Bowel movements - 5 days after c section

I have no strength in my belly to push out any wind or to push for a poo 5 days after a c section. Did anyone else ever have this?

I did go day 3, but it was loose as i took laxatives and it happened on its own, I couldn’t push or stop it just happened.

I tried talking to midwives today about it as I can feel that I need to go, or pass wind but genuinely can’t as I just can’t push it out, it’s like numb. They didn’t do anything though but I’m so worried as I just want to have normal feeling. I’ve never heard of this before?!

29 week scan

So we had an extra scan today because of my BMI being high.
They told us she has hair!! I can’t quite figure it out from these pictures, any ideas? I have googled what hair on an ultrasound looks like and I’m not sure you can really see it from the angle of these pictures. I think they may have seen it when they were doing the checks haha

C-section recovery

How are we all doing? I had a planned section this time, after having an emergency one 3.5 years ago and I don’t know what I was expecting but I thought it would be easier this time. Safe to say it has not been easy!
