Planned c section

Looks like they are going to have to give me a c section!
Deverstated is a understatement but needs must. Placenta is low and baby is breech.

If anyone on here's had one, can you tell me how the day of your c section plans out? And any advice really?
3rd baby but first c section.

Thank you!

I had a section with my first for placenta praevia.
Because you have a medical need, it’s likely you’ll be high up on the list of surgeries. Went to hospital for 7 and just relaxed, can’t even remember how time passed. The medical team comes to meet you. I went to theatre at 11 and they did my cannula and spinal block - probably the most daunting part.
Baby comes out so quickly! You then spend the rest of the procedure focused on your little one

Cramping after orgasm

Hi everyone,
Just looking for advice, I masturbated twice early with just stimulation, I’m 13+4 weeks and I’m just about curious how long you cramped for afterwards, I had the initial cramps that lasted for about half an hour, but now they’ve been on and off throughout the day since orgasming. Is that normal to have cramps on and off throughout the day afterwards ?
This is my first pregnancy so any advice is welcome 🤍🤍

Anybody else?!

So I recently just moved back into my dads house bc my husband wants a divorce and I just found my ultrasounds from 20w 5d and I was wondering if anyone else is genuinely missing there baby being in there belly instead of not and if you guys also hate how fast they are growing up.

Leak from upstairs flat.

Has anyone experienced a leak from above that wasn't so obvious? But was definitely there.. trickling through the walls and causing stains? Wet and musty smell? I have evidence of a leak somewhere coming from above. But the neighbours are denying it. What can I do ???

10th Centile at 28+4

I had my midwife appt yesterday and she measured my bump, she plotted it as over the 100th centile (my bump is a lot bigger in this pregnancy compared to my first) anyway she felt my tummy and she said ‘baby feels really big’ so she referred me for a growth scan the same day.

I went to the scan and it’s now showing my baby is on the 10th centile… is this something to be worried about? I never had this with my daughter so I can’t help but worry that he isn’t growing as he should be🥺 has anyone else had this?

What are the least helpful things you’ve been told in pregnancy?

I can start
1) “you still have 2 months to go? But you’re massive already!”
2) “baby due September? Better push them earlier so you avoid extra year of childcare cost”
3) (to my partner upon announcing the news): “you better work more and harder get a promotion now”.

I can go on forever, thought the “you sure it’s not twins” comments were an urban legend but people are THAT stupid

Struggling FTM

Spent yesterday crying feeling like I’ve lost myself. Exhausted and feel like I’m not doing the best I can, questioning whether I’m a good mum, have managed to break the zip on my next to me in the night shuffling back in bed put my hand on it and it wasn’t fully down and it’s now bust so another thing I’ve messed up. Spent the last 3 and a half hours googling trying to fix it, have ordered replacement fabric from the Snuz website but I still can’t settle my brain and I’m going to have had no sleep now to do it all again. Feeling so lost, useless and like I’m completely crumbling
