Can’t wee after C-Secion

Sorry if this is TMI

Had an elective yesterday (30/07/26 9:21am) after an emergency with my first, i had to have a catheter in for 12 hours but haven’t been able to go to the toilet since. They did a in and out catheter after 6 hours and said I had another 6 hours to try and go before they would maybe need to refit the catheter again for 24hour observation. But I still can’t go even though I feel absolutely desperate for the toilet.

I’m terrified something is really wrong please tell me some of you have positive stories after this happening and I don’t have some kind of permanent damage 🙈🙈🙈

What is everyone doing for their baby’s first birthday ?

I am being so indecisive on what to do. I would love to throw a birthday party for my babies first birthday but then I don’t want the headache of hosting & setting everything up & cooking the food but then what if I regret not doing the birthday party.

I’m also thinking to just do a cake smash photo shoot instead of a birthday party & on the actual day of my baby’s birthday she will open gifts in the morning & then taking her soft play as she loves soft play so much. Finding it sooo hard to decide what to do!

Anyone else not throwing a birthday party ?

Inductions

I had my 36 week growth scan yesterday, everything is measuring perfectly, baby is weighing 6.2lbs and following their growth chart nicely. But I thought it was weird how the consultant said 'ok we will do an induction at 40weeks yeah?' and I was like umm no?? I'm a ftm, had a really straightforward pregnancy with no issues, only reason I have consultant lead is cause my BMI was slightly over the margin and it's my first baby. Has anyone else found that they're pushing inductions without medical reasons?
