Yes, I’ve had the exact same. I’m now 6 months pp and they’re just awful. Had never suffered with pains or heavy periods before having my daughter x
Definitely heavier than it ever was before I had my LO.
Developed PCOS after my first pregnancy. Or maybe I always had it but never realized
Yeah, I’ve had 2 kids and they’ve got heavier with each kid. I’ve also found my luteal phase to be a LOT tougher.

General anaesthetic c-section
Does anybody have experience of a c-section under general anaesthetic? I have been told I can not have an epidural due to some health problems and have been given the option of being put to sleep, I unsure of my other options than this or birth with gas and air until I see the anaesthetists 🥲

16 weeks
Hi all,
I’m currently 16 weeks with my fourth pregnancy. I am getting a really unsettling feeling about this pregnancy. I cant shake this feeling like there is something wrong. Like I’m going to go to my scan in 4 weeks and they will tell me there is no heart beat. I guess it’s not helping that I can’t feel baby kick not even flutters. I definitely did at this stage in my last pregnancy.

Early scans?
Hey girls! I am roughly 6 weeks pregnant and found out because I was having very bad cramps. I had a scan last week which showed gestational sac and this week a yolk sac inside but still no heartbeat. I have been discharged from epu until routine 12 week scan. I have a previous diagnosis of endometriosis so the cramps could be caused by this but am I right in saying with the cramping and pain I should be seen once more to confirm a heartbeat?
T.I.A a nervous first time mum🙈🫶🏻🫶🏻

Wanting a VBAC
Hiya ladies I’m currently 39 weeks and 4 days I have opted for a VBAC I had my first child last year in April
I was hopeful for a VBAC at the beginning of this second pregnancy as baby is not breech this time round however as I’m getting close to my due date as well as being in the early labour phase for the last 2 weeks and still stuck at 2cm I’m becoming worried as I’ve been told if I go to 41 weeks they may have to induce me but there are risks of scar rupture leading to an emergency c section anyway.
Today it’s really been sitting on my mind as I’ve been in and out of hospital recently with pains but no progress in dilation so it’s really making me out way my options for a VBAC, hence was wondering if anyone has any positive induction stories after having a c section xz

Elective for first birth?
I’m 11 weeks pregnant and have known since before conception I wanted a c-section. I have only known friends who had traumatic natural births and do not want to risk the “worst of both worlds” with a traumatic natural birth and THEN emergency c-section anyway.
Has anyone else here done this, if so how did you go about telling your midwife, and friends?! I feel there’s so much judgement even though it is supposedly MY choice.
