Have you started perineal massages? What works best for you here?

I tried it earlier this week and it was just soo painful so I stopped :-( any tips to make this better?

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 🙈🙈🙈

He’s here! 🩵

My baby boy finally entered the world 13 days late- July 30th at 8:58am. He’s perfect! Labor went much differently than I had hoped, and I got an unplanned epidural… but I’m so glad I did. Woke up from a nap to learn I was 10 cm dilated, pushed for 25 minutes, then finally got to meet my baby 🥹🥰
