These August Babies Are Coming Early !!

38+4 ! It’s a surreal feeling! I still can’t wrap my head around the fact that she’s finally here after 9 LONG months. I need 24hours to just stare at her & soak it all in 💗

C section recovery

Hi everyone. I've been booked in for a C-section. It wasn't really what I wanted, but all the other choices have been taken away.
I'm worried most about the recovery.
Does anyone have any good recovery tips or recommendations?

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.

What Is Your Experience ofaternity services triage so far?

I have personally had a horrendous journey so far from routine scan issues to the end up resulting in an emergency section. What is your experience so far taking into account how you were feeling and whether you'd felt seen, heard and listened to?

Hospital rooms

Hey mamas! So I’ve been learning a lot about advocating for keeping your child in the room while you’re in the hospital. It’s definitely something that I want to do and under no circumstances other than going to the NICU do I want them to leave the room. But I just thought about something. What about if I have a boy and they need to be circumcised is that something that has to be done outside the room?
