Sex after c-section…

I’m 10 weeks pp and still haven’t had sex. My stomach is still super sensitive and I don’t feel sexy AT ALL, and just wondered if this is normal and when c-section mamas started being intimate again?

I was about 12 weeks.. I just didnt feel confident, comfortable or interested. I was so tired and my body didnt feel my own!

Don’t rush it, you’ll know when you’re ready.

Valentines baby 💕

Posted earlier this week about scan anxiety following mmc last year. Had my scan this morning and all was well. Was such a relief. Had almost a 30 min scan as baby was so active they couldn’t take measurements 😅 my stomach is going to be sore later 🤣 but at least I got to see baby for an extended time. Due date moved up one day to the 14th Feb as well 🥰 my little valentine ♥️

Sticky eyes

Hi everyone! My baby is nearly 5 weeks old and has gammy/sticky eyes since birth... I feel like I'm constantly cleaning them and using breast milk on them. They've been swabbed twice now and midwife said its nothing to worry about, I just wondered if anyone else had a similar issue? I feel so bad for her, some times they look to be clearing up and then it comes back!
Born via cesarean.

I don’t know what name

I feel anxious about not having the baby’s name. We have a favourite Luke or Lucas/Luca. I am Mexican and my husband is Scottish. I would like to receive a sign from heaven to choose the name! Heeelp

C section mums - how long did it take for the overhang to reduce/go?

Did you work out/diet? Or did it go on its own? Very self conscious about it

How long did your induction take?

I've been in hospital for my induction since Monday, but it doesn't seem like anything is happening yet. 😭

I'm currently on my second pessary. After the first one, I was still 0 cm dilated, and so far I haven't felt any real progress.

I'm 38+3 today. For those who've been induced, how long did it take before things finally got moving? I'd really love to hear your experiences!
