I did I had a grade 1 emergency c section due to my little girls heart rate dropping but honestly it was a scary time due to it being emergency but when I came round and everything it was all ok I recovered well and in the end it became a positive experience because even tho scary at the time i got a healthy baby girl and my health too ❤️ I liked that I could use my legs almost right away to as didn't have the epidural x

Not in England but in America but yes I had general anesthesia and I was put to sleep during my first c-section with my first son, i didn't get to see him come out of me or get to have any skin to skin contact with my son unfortunately😭💔 it was an emergency c-section cause natural birth wasn't working the way I had hoped it would i had a lot of complications with my first birth of my first son sadly💔😭 my sons head was stuck at an angle near my pelvic region and he wasn't coming out that way at all

5 month old woes

Has anyone else just lost it and had a bit of a yell at baby when they've been screaming non stop? Feel really bad after having a go but my LO was just non stop behind for no reason at all. So draining, I am finding 5 months harder than any other month so far.

Is there a polite way for me to refuse any further student midwifery involvement in my care?

I’m 37 weeks and every single student midwifery I have had , has struggled to find my babies heart beat, added quite a lot of stress by having to constantly leave the room to ask the senior midwives questions or to find baby, even student doctors can’t find baby’s heartbeat.

I’m a high risk pregnancy, need a delivery suite labour and I appreciate they have to learn / tick off so many births etc but I’m just a bit ansy and fed up now , I don’t want the unnecessary stress.

How can I politely decline the student midwifes seeing me in my next midwife appt in the community and for them not to be involved in my birth?

Blood test results

Hi ladies,

So I’m confused.. been to triage yesterday as had some pains, had my urine dipped and it was clear but then when I had my bloods done my results come back and it shows I’ve got 14 crp which means either inflammation or an infection? Has anyone else had this before?? I’m just abit confused.

Anyone starting to feel fed up?

I am in need of a break from this 24/7 mum role. The screaming, crying, constant picking up, constantttt cleaning, washing up, cooking, picking up mess, to-do lists, everyday supermarket runs, admin, energy into trying to get baby to sleep, trying to get him to eat , waste of food, breast feeding, sterilising, mum rage, mental load feel like I just a huge bloody break from all of it !

Pelvic pain… is this normal?

So I’ve been experiencing the worst discomfort, to the point it feels like my vag wants to rip open… the pressure is crazy. When I walk, I’m just waddling like a penguin and I can’t bend. It seems to hurt when I turn positions in bed, or any movement that involves me spreading my legs slightly I.e getting out of the car. Is this normal? I keep thinking I’m dilating or ready to push because of the pressure 😂I’m 35 weeks pregnant.
