Reese vs Reece (US-based)

If you were to meet a boy/man named this, what would you ASSUME the spelling most likely to be?

Please, *not* personal preference. Just if you had to write it down without asking, what would you write? (And Rhys is NOT an option, although I know it the traditional and I do love it.)

6 month postpartum emergency c section momma

Hello ladies,
6 months ago I was induced to have my son at 37 weeks due to getting gestational hypertension in the end of my pregnancy. I had a birth plan and while I know it’s called a plan because it doesn’t always work out the way we want. Pretty much none of my birth went the way I had envisioned and I’ll say I mourn that almost daily. I was induced and given cytotech to soften my cervix, then the foley balloon was inserted and tugged out after 2 attempts, and the pitocin started shortly after. Things were progressing really well and I was almost 5cm when I was asked if I wanted the epidural. I had pretty much planned on getting one but my pain was still quite manageable, so I wanted to wait. But I felt pressured and didn’t really have support during my delivery. The second I got that epidural I never made it past 5cm…I labored for 27 hours before the decision was made due to me contracting and infection that I needed to have an emergency c section as baby’s hr was spiked as well. To make matters worse I felt my c section happening. I’m not talking about a slight tugging and pulling. I’m talking about cutting and ripping and tearing….It’s been 6 months since then and I still think about it like I said daily. It traumatized me and made me mourn what I didn’t get with my baby. I wanted that immediate skin to skin on my chest and the golden hour after birth. I was wondering if any other moms experienced similar complications and/ or are feeling similarly? I am so grateful my son is alive and happy as am I, but can we just take a second to acknowledge things suck sometimes?

Arrival of baby girl 💖

Well my July baby turned into a June baby 🥹 When the midwife tells you “when you know, you know” my word did I know I was meeting my baby girl! 🥰

Advice

My C section area has a off smell, it’s not sore or anything but it looks wet and slightly red in certain areas. I had a swap taken 3 weeks ago, I am currently 5 weeks post C section. My results show ‘profuse’ bacterial growth from several weeks ago, but my doctor has listed it as no action required and did not contact me once my results came in. Can anyone explain this? Is this bacterial growth normal? Why would my GP list is as no action required?

Fuck Sciatica

I can barely do anything, walk sleep, stand, sit not to mention stretch nothing fucking works!!!

Excuse my language but I am fed up with being pregnant and the pain that comes with it

Okay I'll go back to crying now the pain is too much 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

FYI this is my second pregnancy and I had absolutely no issues the last pregnancy my baby is even easy to kidnap as people tell me because he's a giggling quiet boy full of joy

I'm just tired of this pain😭😭😭😞😞😞

So… I’m 41 weeks and 5 days. My due date was June 18th. At this point nothing is progressing so I’m guessing baby boy has decided that July is his birth month now lol.

Went to my 38 week appointment

Sooo I’m still not dilated. Cervix is very soft, 2cm in length, 50 % effaced. My baby’s head is literally pressing on my cervix, when will I go into labor yalllll????????😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
