C-section
I have been scheduled to have a c-section on the 2nd of November due to some complications with my twins (I'll be 37 weeks)... the boys have been both head down for a while so I prepared myself for vaginal delivery but suddenly my waters have increased and both of them flipped into transverse position. What are your recommendations for an easier recovery? I have heard the post op pillow is useful but is there anything else I should consider buying? Are the silicone type patches for c-sections worth it? I will also be staying at the hospital from Friday meaning a longer hospital stay so I can be monitored and be on strict bed rest so I only have a few days to prepare 😬

There is a chance I’ll have a c section
I had an elective with my first and will be having one with this baby too. I think there is evidence to support that silicone but only from 6-8 weeks, massage etc my recs would be take some peppermint chewing gum and tea for after the op helps with the gas pain and supports getting your bowels moving. If you can get something to help you get out of bed as you won’t be able to use your tummy. This time round I’ve got a frame thing that fits under the mattress. Pillow to put over your wound for journey home. I’m sure you know this but you’ll still bleed vaginally after a c-section so still take pads etc xxxx

Bump dropping at 34 weeks?👶🏼✨
Hi Mummas 👋🏼
Does it look like my bump is dropping already at 34 weeks?
FTM! I have a feeling she is coming early. Horrific pelvic girdle pain and constantly moving! She’s been head down since 30 weeks. Measuring on track at 53rd percentile.
Interested to know your thoughts! 🩷

Scan picture
Hi,this is going to come across the wrong way but has anyone else had a scan at 31 weeks and thought oh she/he has a big nose 😂 absolutely gorgeous still but has anyone thought this and it be a totally different story when they’re born?

For the c section mommas
Heya so possibly TMI but question for all the c section mommas
So my 6 weeks post c section was Oct 7th and my partner and I have been sexually active since then, every time we do (and it’s a very weird way to explain it but only way I know how) I get that uncomfortable pain like when you can feel that you need to change a tampon and it starts to be too uncomfortable, I only get this feeling during and after sex and have never felt this before the c section. Even after a natural birth with my first boy everything was fine. Is this normal to have this feeling?

Waters broken? Almost 35 weeks
I was sat in bed just now and when I stood up there was a large wet patch on the bed, I didn’t even notice it happening. It wasn’t huge but more than any sort of discharge patch I’ve had before. Also I’m usually a bit wet down there with the discharge but it’s dry all of a sudden. Have my waters broken or just a one off large discharge maybe? It only had a faint smell
