Emergency c section
Hi everyone! Had my baby yesterday through an emergency C section. Labour started spontaneously at home progressed rather quickly, should have been low risk and was hoping for water birth but my baby girls heart rate was dipping and then she was too high up so they were quite worried and thought they needed to get her out quickly, she ended up being born at 17.08 via emergency c section. I found out after she also had pooped inside me and she had her chord wrapped round her neck.
It was all a bit scary and don’t feel like I’ve had time to process anything but just glad we’re both ok can’t fault the hospital as they were brilliant and acted quickly

That sounds so traumatic. Glad you and baby girl are okay! It’s tough the first few weeks. I hope you have some support. If you do have support, try to rest as much as you can. Try not to lift anything or bend down. They say try to walk but for me that wasn’t doable without terrible pain. Just remember the physical pain is temporary. Focus on your nutrition as well

First birthday?
Is it bad I don’t wanna do a birthday party for my daughter turning a year old this December. Rn we are having financial difficulties, bills are being paid but we have no extra money for fun things(just bills, clothes(if needed) food), a family member of mine made a fault dss report about my child. And I just feel like we aren’t just in the right head space for it. I want her to get gift from family members but we don’t have the money to rent out a place (it will be cold, so it will have to be inside) find a place that will have a fun indoor space for other kids and provide food for other people or even decorations. I feel like a horrible mom 😭

I’m about 6 weeks pregnant and all the symptoms I’ve been having (morning sickness, food aversions etc) have all suddenly stopped. Should I be worried or is that pretty normal?

Bleeding around ovulation
My period tracker tells me I am ovulating around today. Friday eve when I went for a wee and wiped rhere was pink blood a couple of times. All of Saturday nothing and I’ve woken up this morning and there’s bright red blood when I wipe. Like the start of a proper period.
I finished my period last week and apart from the on off bleeding I don’t have any other symptoms.
This has never happened to me before. What could it be? Should I see a doctor?
