I’m with you😩

Yup

Totally with you all. I even tried sleeping in the garden

Last night i thought i couldn't love my husband more for the genius idea he had to keep me cool. A small wet towel wherever you want it. I kept it on my thigh / butt. Such a save.

My partner has frozen a load of water bottles and is placing them in front of fans.. managed to keep the house at no hotter than 26 degrees yesterday. Our little girl is 3 weeks old today! She’s cluster feeding and screaming in between, hates the heat...so with you there an feel for you. 💕

Totally with you all. I’ve tried everything but nothing would settle her. I ended up having to camp out in the sitting room as I managed get her to go off in her Moses basket x

I need some advice on recovery post c-section and she will only sleep if placed on me or sometimes rarely my partner. I got no sleep last night and we tried everything so please send over some advice!!

Choosing delivery date

I am having a c section and my doctor has provided two delivery dates. One of them falls on my husbands bday. We are in disagreement bc he wants a shared bday with our daughter. I don’t want them to have the same bday bc I want her to have her own special date. Also future kids might be upset they don’t have a shared bday. Idk what to do. Any advice?

Induction!

Hey there!! Currently in hospital to get induced, been here since 1120am monday (22nd) I first had the pesserie insertion and after those 24h I dialated on the outside of cervix only by 1cm. So they then tried the dilapan rods insertions, they didnt use a speculum for that and it was the MOST uncomfortable thing ever! It litteraly pinched me or something! Idk what happened! It was that painful and uncomfortable that I burst out crying like I have never cried before! I hated it! So ive been given some time to think and i decided to try again but with Gas and Air, in the delivery suite to use the things to prop up my legs, and then the speculum too!! Just wondering if anyone else has had a similar experience?! Or what are your guys' experience with the same induction types!?

I’m finally 6 weeks postpartum today!

Today I am officially 6 weeks postpartum. I had a c section so it’s definitely been a long road. Anyone who’s had c sections before how do I go about having my first bath? My gp checkup isn’t for another 2 weeks but I’m desperate to have a bath and don’t want to wait if I don’t have to. Any advice?
