Has anyone done the window curtain for their elective? What was it like?
The consultant I was speaking with last Wednesday (when I thought I wanted a VBAC), put in my notes that I wanted a window curtain for my elective. Just wondering about everyone's experience with that if you had one? I know it won't gory or anything like that because it still blocks the icky parts lol, but just curious 😊

I’ve had the curtain dropped both times and seen no gore whatsoever. The lights are so bright they blocked anything like that for me. I got to see a gooey baby get lifted out both times and it was lovely. I’m squeamish and never had any icky moments.
With my first, they dropped the curtain as baby was already out so they lifted her up. With the second I was looking just before and saw them actually bring him out. Crazy and surreal. But amazing. Beautiful. I'd recommend it there's nothing quite like it 😊

Pelvic girdle pain
Hi, I’m 24 weeks pregnant with my 3rd baby, my pgp is actually insane. It was always bad with my other two but at around 28-30 weeks. It started around 20 weeks, did anyone else experience it this early? And any recommendations?

20 week scan!
The so-called "20 week scan" is scheduled next Monday for me and I'm actually 19w 1d next Monday. Is it still fine or did they make a mistake while scheduling? Should I be concerned or not? And what to expect during the scan? Can I get to know the gender from the NHS itself without booking a private scan?

Hematoma after c section
I’m 3 weeks pp and a hematoma has formed on top of my incision. Has anyone else experienced this? If so, did the fluid/ blood reabsorb into the body or drain out? Did it eventually disappear? I’m worried that it will require draining but my doctors are adamant this isn’t an option.

Second baby, first midwife appointment
I’ll be 7 weeks in a couple of days, but I’m not seeing the midwife until 23rd Sept. Is this normal? I was seen a lot sooner when I found out I was pregnant with my first.
