Sometimes the numbness stays. I've been numb since my first csection almost 10 years ago now.

I’m 8 weeks pp and still numb I am see pelvic floor therapist and she told me to massage the area above and below the scar and then “re-activate” the nerves by running different stuff over the numb area. For example, she said start off with a cotton ball and just run it across the numb area for a week. Then move on to something a little more rough like a wash cloth, etc etc. I’m barely in my first week trying this out so can’t yet report if it works but it’s worth a shot!

Ways to induce labour

I’m currently 35 weeks so still have a bit of time but I previously had an emergency C-section the consultant told me I can have a Vbac but it’s not very likely. I want to avoid another C-section as much as I possibly can but if I don’t go into labour on my own their not going to try to induce me they r just going to give me another C-section.

Does anyone have any ways to help me try and go into a natural labour

Thanks in advance

Induction or C Section

Hi!
Any mums out there that have been through either an induction or c section fancy sharing there experience and reasoning behind why they chose one or the other?
I’m currently 31 weeks and have been advised that I will likely need to deliver between 38 and 39 due to a couple of complications. It’s a little way off yet but I really can’t decide what route I’d rather go down.

I know a lot of inductions end in a C Section anyway, so I was leaning towards a C Section but the recovery time with being a FTM scare me a little bit, I also know I will likely want more children in the future and not sure how this would impact anything?
I also want to experience a vaginal birth.

Has anyone got any positive induction or C section stories they would be happy to share? Thank you 🥰
