I know you don’t have to and midwives have seen it all but it be a personal preference if anyone be seeing down there. However 35 weeks worth of baby bump be blocking my view and I feel like I can barely reach at this point. How are you girlies finding it because the patch work look is not for me and some places I feel like imma throw my back out just to reach 😅

Sensitive subject but need advice....

So I have genital herpes (super triggering for me as came from previous relationship) throughout my pregnancy so far I have had atleast 3 outbreaks, despite being on meds everyday to suppress it.

I also have endometriosis, pcos, fibromyalgia, and suffering with severe PGP. This is my first pregnancy.

My OB and I had a chat at 21 weeks about c section vs vaginal birth and he has said the choice is up to me. He provided me with all risks of c section and vaginal birth. I am so torn.

My main concern is if I plan for a vaginal birth, I will likely have to have an emergency c section if I have a herpes outbreak during or around labour/due date. Which feels likely, as i will be stressed. My other concern is if I am able go vaginal birth, with the soreness down there plus a possible outbreak I wont be able to cope with the pain and irritation down there.
With c section obviously big concern is its major surgery whilst being awake, and the recovery time is more. I already am suffering with severe pelvic girdle pain, so will a csection make it worse? Will i be able to comfortable breastfeeding baby or will we need to look at combi feeding or formula?

Had anyone on here been in my position? What did you do? Any advice?

Pelvic gurdle pain

Guys I’m 39 weeks on Thursday and I can’t even roll in my bed or life my leg up I’m waking up in the night screaming in agony from moving is there anything I can do to help this I’m taking dyhidrocodine and it’s not even taking the edge off and I’ve tried a belly belt to take the weight off but that doesn’t help either

Preemies?

Any mums in this group suddenly find themselves a mum of an October 2026 baby and not a December one now?

We were visiting family in the next county (for less than 24 hours mind you!) and found ourselves rushed to hospital with bleeding, preeclampsia and an emergency c-section baby.

Being at the hospital, recovering from c-section whilst my son sits in his incubator is definitely not an experience or thought I ever had for this pregnancy. Anyone going through similar??

Mild pain

Hi ladies ❤️ I’m 13 weeks pregnant and have had a mild pain on the right side of my abdomen since yesterday. It comes and goes, even when resting, and I also notice it when walking, bending or taking a deep breath. Has anyone experienced anything similar? I am a bit worried and honestly don’t know what to do.
