2nd section

Anybody else had 2 sections? I’m absolutely terrified to the point it’s keeping me awake at night thinking of all the risks and stuff

Had my second c section 4 months ago and I was the same. I had what can only be described as a mental break down mid spinal and they turnt the radio up really high and we jammed out to music. 😅

I had two sections just under 3 years apart. Both went well, I still felt extremely nervous and worried second time around. But I feel like the recovery was quicker the second time but I guess thats because you already have a little one to look after. I can honestly say both were good experiences. 😀 you'll be in safe hands.

I had 2 sections as well for my two babies
I think the second one took a bit longer to heal and was more painful than the first

Had two i think second was easier BUT it keeps getting sore my first didnt get sore at all x

Had my second section 4 weeks ago, first time was emergency and second one was optional I healed so much quicker the second time round I can’t recommend enough to just get up and walk around as soon as you can after the procedure it’s painful but the best thing you can do for a quicker recovery!

I’m having a third c section in 2 weeks and dreading the op & recovery ❤️‍🩹 😭 but it WILL be ok!!! The risks are there, but they are low. C sections are performed daily, focus on your breathing. Take pain medication on time. Rest and small steps in the first couple of weeks and we’ll be back before we know it. We’ve done it before. And we can do it again 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽

I had 2 c sections- first was an emergency section and the second was elective. Can only have electives unfortunately but I actually threw up the morning of because I was so nervous. It was the fact of the epidural and not having gas and air like I did in my emergency one. But honestly once that was in I was absolutely fine and was actually able to get up and about quicker than my emergency one. The only other thing I found was sickness. I kept feeling sick on the table but they sorted me out straight away. Just keep them updated on how you’re feeling as they can give you extra drugs or anti sickness in my case. Honestly I would do it all again in a heart beat! All the best girly!♥️

I've had 4 and the recovery got easier each time. 💜

I’m only 16 weeks and already thinking about how much of a wreck I’m going to be when I have mine. First was a category 1 emergency under general anaesthetic so even though it was the most traumatic experience ever, I had to put to sleep for it and was unaware of a lot of what was going on. Adrenaline definitely numbed me during that one too!

Big baby advice please!!

I attended my midwife appointment today (27+4) and baby is literally off the scales! Midwife has said she’s referring me for an emergency scan and look really concerned for me. Has anyone else’s growth chart shown a baby this big? If so what was the weight at birth? TIA

Labour approaching?

TMI… 38 weeks and 3 days today, diarrhoea constantly today 4 times in 4 hours, last night had a lot of pressure in pelvis and rectum again for about half an hour, did anyone else get bad diarrhoea and did labour follow it if so how long after?

Advice on early induction

I had my growth scan today (35 weeks) and they are measuring on the 9th percentile. I have another scan in two weeks and they'd like to discuss inducing between 37-39 weeks if they've not grown enough. Any advice or similar experiences?

Second baby and my first was born 6th percentile at 40 weeks - small but perfectly healthy!

Please help calm me down…

(Third baby / two previous spontaneous labours).

I am spiralling.

37+5 and went in for reduced movements yesterday. Had a scan today and baby is transverse.

They want to do an ECV on Thursday at 38 weeks to get baby head down (obvs with risk), and then if successful they want to break my waters so she cannot move again (and will either go into labour or need induction). If unsuccessful, they want to schedule a section.

Please please please give me a positive story that doesn’t result in days long labour / c section 😭😭

I know ultimately the most important thing is getting baby out safely, however I am absolutely petrified of the thought of both induction/c section.

They have said if I don’t have the ECV the likelihood of her going down on her own now is low and may need emergency c section anyway 🥺
