Emergency c-section flashbacks

Does anyone else have moments with their emergency c-section that provides random stresses?

I was under GA for the section so I struggle with the fact that I wasn’t awake for my baby’s birth.

He was just sick in his bed, typically just before the baby monitor died 🙄, so I didn’t see it until just after it happened. It’s really bothered me that I wasn’t there for him when he was sick and I just feel a bit stressed/out of funk now.

My husband is great with my feelings etc but just wondered if there was anyone else with the same feelings as it would be great to have fellow people to talk to who get my feelings.

Early scan

We can a private scan yesterday at 6+1. We ended up having to a trans vaginal, which I was expecting. There was a gestational sac and yolk sac. But she didn’t want to 100% confirm whether she could see a fetal pole. She was reassuring and said it might be that my days were just a little out and that everything can change within hours/ days. I think I ovulated around day 16/17. Anyone else had the same and then a healthy pregnancy. We had a loss in December and were diagnosed with unexplained infertility in April so feeling excited and super anxious. We’re booked back in next Thursday 🤞🏻If you got this far thank you 🥰

VBAC or C Section?

I had planned on a home birth with a midwife. I labored at home for 36 hours, and after 7 hours of pushing, we finally transferred to a hospital and we ended up with an emergency c section. Thankfully all was okay. Though it was the Last thing I thought would happen. The hospital was a surprisingly positive experience given the circumstances… I think there’s a lil residual trauma still there around the ordeal. As we want to have another, I’d be curious what others chose to do. Was the VBAC healing and worth it? Or how was a second c section? What did it do to your scar? Is it worse in any ways?

I find myself thinking about this decision often so would appreciate some insights.

Baby kicks at 32 weeks

I’m roughly 32 weeks and baby used to move a lot a couple weeks ago. I still feel him moving around sometimes here and there. Also I have an anterior placenta. Heart beat was 148 at my OB visit on the 21st… but his kicks just seem less and not as strong as I expected them to be he could just be hanging out in there. He gets measured on the 28th. I just get a little nervous when I can’t feel him as much but I do still feel him when I eat or going #2 and laying on my side even walking at work but I wish I could feel him without my anterior placenta…just over thinking 💭 and my nerves going through it. Is anybody else noticing less movement from there baby around 32 weeks?? I also was told movements would be less once he’s bigger.

Leaving baby with grandma

Wondering when everyone first left baby overnight with grandparents/trusted people? My baby will be just shy of 5 months when my husband and I’s anniversary is, so we were hoping to leave her for a night. She loves her grandma so I’m not too worried, but I just want any advice if poss, thanks!
