My 1st c-section was because baby was breach
Second C-section was because the OB/GYN I had told me she didn’t do vbac I really want to experience a vaginal birth so planning to switch obgyns

My friend just had her 3rd and had 2 C-sections before this. She wanted to birth at a birthing center and only a few midwives would take her, because it is a risk. She actually ended up laboring at her mom's house accidentally, but everything went beautifully. So I would say maybe check out birthing centers in your area? If you'd prefer a hospital just keep calling around and asking which places will do it for you.

My first was emergency c section send was 2.5 years exactly later and I managed a vbac, drs like to do c sections if you have had one before as for them its the easier way, it means less monitoring for them and agreed less of a risk I’m from the UK so things might be different there. What I did was stayed at home the entire time, I literally made it to the hospital as I was about to push, I knew if I went hours prior it would have been a c section and I was determined to not let that happen xx

The reason I chose to was because my first was an emergency and I felt like I had failed (just my own thoughts even though I didn’t fail) and I wanted to be able to experience actually pushing a baby out (crazy I know cos that’s painful)

Induced, emergency c section, accurate scan weight

So I'm finally announcing my son's arrival.
Born 8th July after being admitted to hospital for an induction. Being induced at 39 weeks, waiting for days to go on the ward for my waters to be broken which ended in an emergency c section. My scans all showed baby plotting above 99 percentile and they were right as he was 9lbs 13oz. Baby pooped inside which was noted when my waters were broken and he developed a temp and his respiratory rate was elevated so we ended up staying a few days after too. Ended up coming home on his due date 11th July! Just posting on here if anyone wants any further information.
Also trying my hardest to breastfeed this time so any tips please send them my way.

Pelvic pain after birth

Hey guys! I gave birth around 5 days ago and I’ve been experiencing really bad pelvic pain still. Like turning over in bed is extremely painful, sometimes even walking is painful, my pubic bone itself hurts, and I hear it click sometimes.
My tailbone is also a little painful and it hurts to sit down, as if my backside gets like numb very quick.

Has anyone else experienced this, if so, did anything help?

Thoughts on our baby name🙏🏻

We love the name Roscoe, I first put it to my partner when we originally found out we were having a baby. I have loved the name for years from the song Roscoe by Midlake which is where I originally heard it. The song itself is so lovely, and having looked up its meaning, his name means ‘roe deer’ or ‘forest’ of an old Norse definition. Recently since telling a few friends and family we have had nothing but backlash which has now made me reconsider. People saying it’s a dogs name, although our dog is called Henry😆 and just generally disliking the name. Just wondering what people’s thoughts on the name are.

Feeling zapped 🤯

Anyone else in their late 20s and just completely drained from watching the baby all day, or is it just me?

Anyone out the other side??

We've had horrendous sleep for a good few weeks now, as in hourly wake ups and 4/5am starts to the day. I am EXHAUSTED - someone tell me it gets better 😅
