C Section Saturday

I am having my second c section on Saturday, I am so nervous I keep hearing having a scheduled c section is so much calmer but I am so nervous, and nervous about how I am going to manage a newborn and a toddler that is so attached to me

i had my second c section 15m pp from my last (both were planned tho) plus a 2rd old (both babies being a velcro child) healing went WAY better the second time around make sure your bigger kid knows to be gentle with you and why that was my biggest fallback was my older babies wanting to be held or hitting/kicking/pushing my scar although i started going into labor earlier and we went ahead and did surgery it was more a surprise date BUT them being planned gives you more control with having things ready and less mental stress added on to the physical get your bags packed and affairs in order you are going to do amazing i wouldnt stress it keep your body and mind in tune and trust your gut everything will work out you got this mamašŸ¤

Oh my gosh my planned C-section in April was so much better than my emergency C-section, you’ll be ok! It was a little rough not being able to pick up my toddler but I just made sure to hold him as much as I could when I was on the couch/bed. You got this! Message me if you ever have questions that come up randomly!

I'm about to go through this too and the mum guilt is really getting to me. I had an emergency c section 19 years ago so I'm worrying about how my body is going to recover this time around with such a big gap! I really don't want to miss out on weeks with my toddler. 😣

Another one?

It happened.

After my c-section I laid in that hospital and I said NEVER AGAIN. I’m never going through the experience of birth (c-section or vaginal) EVER AGAIN.

I told my husband ā€œsorry babe, after this I am one and done. I can’t do this type of trauma and pain ever againā€.

My boy is 3 months old now, I looked at his adorable little face… and said

ā€œShit I want anotherā€.

Hope all the June mamas are hangin in!

98th percentile baby!

So I’m 34 weeks and baby has been measuring large (only his tummy) since 2 growth scans ago which is bringing him to the 98th percentile and currently guessed at 5.6lbs!
My first baby was born at 7.11lbs so they have said he is big for my gestation in comparison

I am in so much pain and have been in preterm labour since 29 weeks so the contractions have been awful but never any progression! And his movements have slowed right down despite positive CTG and scans showing he is okay

Has anyone had this with baby? Gestational test was negative and I have a blood sugar test on Saturday

I have a midwife appointment and I’m wondering about requesting induction at 37 weeks ( I had my last at 38 weeks and almost ended up in a C section as my pelvis was to narrow and be kept getting stuck) so I’m getting very anxious about trying to deliver an even bigger baby!!

Thankyou in advance
