To those who have had homebirths are they messy?

There's the obvious bodily fluids but if you've got a waterproof sheet down and some old towels it's just an easy fold it all up and the midwife takes it away. 😉

We had a private gender scan done at 14 weeks. We got told the baby is a boy! But the private’s look very big for a 14 week old scan 🫣😅 compared to my youngest boys scan and his was at 16 weeks. Does this look like an umbilical cord shot or deffo a boy! 🥲🫣😳

Gall Bladder & Appendix Removal

I don’t suppose anyone else has had a c-section swiftly followed by appendix/gall bladder removal & can give a realistic idea of how long it’ll take to feel more normal again?

I’m 7w post c section & had both the above removed this week and currently feel like I’ve taken 10 steps back from a recovery point of view so would love to hear a real life experience!
