I’d 100% call your midwife or GP

Have you called your triage unit? I've been having really bad headaches recently and they did a full MOT, BP, bloods, urine sample, the lot! With pain in your eyes it's defo worth getting checked out! Hope everything is okay!

no experience with this but please ring your gp/midwife straightaway, better to make sure it’s normal for you as everyone is different :)

I gave triage a call. Im at the hospital now being monitored waiting to see a doctor. They've ruled out preeclampsia though.

Thanks for all getting back to me 🥰

Morning C-section

Last time I was an afternoon elective C-S, went in for 2pm and baby born at 5pm. This time I have to be there for 7 30 am
What time did your c-s end up happening if you had a morning elective? I know it can vary but still curious if there's an average 🤔

TW: image attached - Elective section scar healing

Hi all, I had my c section 12 days ago now. This is my 2nd section, the first time around it healed fine. But this time it feels a lot more intense. I have been having stinging sensation and pulling. Today I checked it and notice this lump. Is this normal, should I be concerned I’m worrried that the scar looks as though it’s healing outwards like a keloid?

Low iron and elective c section?

Hi all
Has anyone been successful in getting an elective c section while also having low iron?
I’m only 11 weeks so have a long way to go yet but already have low iron (vegetarian and have always had low iron/ anaemia). I’m taking OTC supplements and have asked for a transfusion if it gets more severe (not approved yet, who knows). I can’t stomach the prescription iron.
But I’m worried I could be refused an elective c section because of this (due to the increased bleed risk). Has anyone managed and if so how? Did you just push for transfusions beforehand?

I need people to fill up my side of the wedding?

Hi, my name is Morgan. I am having a wedding in about a year. Due to religious reasons, my parents and family will not be attending. Thus my side will be empty. I am taking applications for people to be my cousins aunts uncles and somebody to walk me down the aisle. Yes I’m aware of how pathetic the sounds but hit me up if you want to participate.
