Elective C section
Hi guys, I’m having an elective caesarean on Tuesday due to difficulty with my first birth. Any tips to prepare me for during and after? Also any advice for recovery with a 3 year old. Thanks in advance 😀

Trapped gas in your shoulder afterwards was a big one for me, chew gum or drink peppermint tea.
The drive home also make sure you take painkillers before you leave.

C-section & apron belly
Any fellow Mumma’s with a slight apron belly and a csection scar? Im 12 weeks pp and I’m really struggling with irritation and pain especially when the weather is warmer. By the end of the day it’s so sore. I look after the area keeping it clean and dry it just feels like a rubbing sensation which is really irritating and hurting the area throughout the day. Any tips to avoid this or stop this? Anything I can use or do?

Back to back
Hi Ladies
Just been told by my midwife baby is back to back (I’m 35 weeks) she said that’s unlikely to change at this stage but what I’ve researched says different. Anyone else had this and baby has moved into the correct position?
I’m going to be doing exercises to try and help him move etc

Labour starting 🤞
I’m 39+2, I had the worst pressure down there last night and then didn’t sleep well at all last night due to some really weird dreams and terrible backache and since I got up I have contractions every 5 or 10 minutes. Feels very real now!
No waters breaking yet or mucus plug though.

Twitching
Baby is nearly 6 weeks old and I’ve noticed this week a few twitches in deep sleep, it’s only ever 2-3 twitches in her arms and legs me being me googled and that obviously tells you the worst. I never noticed it until now. It’s never happened while she’s sleeping on us on car seat or bassinet. It’s only happened 3 times on separate occasions. Today I held her hands and she did it once or twice more before stopping but don’t know if I didn’t hold her firmly enough as we were driving and could obviously pick her up. Please give some advice for an anxious mother😭
