C-Section Recovery
Im currently 10 weeks postpartum following an emergency c-section, I know they say recovery is 6-8 weeks which I don’t believe but i’ve been having really bad abdominal pain, it doesn’t feed like cramps but like i’ve been punched in the gut, has anyone else experienced this and is this normal? It’s sort of come out of nowhere. I haven’t yet had my 6 week check in with the GP where I was hoping to bring this up.

I've definitely had random pain after the initial pain the few weeks following surgery, but for me it's more like a stinging sensation inside and a burning sensation on my skin. Nothing like being punched in the gut. I'm not sure if it's normal or not but that's my experience. Hopefully other people can advise as well!
You should get that checked. I haven’t heard this before. Hopefully its nothing ❤️

Baby dropping?
Idk if it matters but I feel like my baby has dropped a bit? My pelvis aches more and my bladder seems sensitive/like I have to go more often. So excited now! Also has anyone had a discussion with their midwife or doctor about a membrane sweep? I was curious to ask my midwife some questions about it.

Post c section healing..
I’m not sure if it’s because I went into spontaneous labour before my planned c section or what but has anyone else suffered pain wise post c section? It’s only day 4 but honestly struggling with the pinching/ jolt stabbing pain on the left side of my incision when I move around and sit down. I know it’s only day 4 but people make out c sections are ‘easy’. Also have such horrendous tailbone pain (which could be from where I was having back contractions). I just want to feel back to normal and feel this is slightly taking away the newborn experience plus my toddler has reduced play from me as I can barely function 😩

Birthday party help.. 🇬🇧 🏴
Can I ask the mums in England how much they are spending on birthday parties?
Thinking ahead to January as my daughter will be 6. She wants a class party (only 15 of them) and wants it at her gymnastics club.
They charge £250 for 25 children, 1 hour of gymnastics and then 1 hour in the party room.
No food or anything included.
Is this decent or really expensive?
Would hiring a hall end up being similar?
Only bonus is the gym I won’t be able to decorate much so maybe I’ll save some money on balloons etc but I’ll still need to provide food, party bags etc.
I’ve never done a huge class party before only
Small party’s at home!
