Jersey Mikes with all the deli meat and cheese I craved for months

When I got home I had chicken wrap and chips from our local takeaway

I didn't have a c section but I went straight to sleep after going to the nicu to see my son as he was born at 00.23 😅. I did however get my mum to bring me a maccies one night because the hospital food was shit 😂 and we was in there for 12 days as he was 6 weeks early.

Bloody steak and a runny egg 🤣🤣

I had a domino's. You cant eat a lot so I had 3 slices and then I just took a slice every few hours xx

Sushi. Lots of it!

the fattest mcdonald's known to man, i was too tired and high off of god knows what meds to remember what i ordered 🤣

We stopped at the pub on the way home from the hospital and I had some decent chips. The hospital ones were awful soggy oven chips😅 I also had a can of monster in the car waiting for me🥰

Had my parents pick me up Olive Garden & bring it to the hospital 😋
My son refused to wait for his November due date lol. Literally pushed him out only 7cm dilated this morning 😅

I can’t wait to get pregnant again, but has anyone gotten pregnant shortly after having a c section? The midwife told me to wait 2 years before I get pregnant again, however, that means I’d be 44 and I’m worried it might be a risky pregnancy.

I know emergency C-sections are quite common, but has anyone here chosen to have an elective, planned C-section? What was your experience? No judgements and rude comments please. This is a sensitive subject. I’m 30 weeks pregnant with my first baby and I’m considering having a planned C-section. Because I’m 41 and suffer from anxiety, I’m worried about the unpredictability of trying to give birth naturally at my age with the possibility of needing an emergency C-section in the end. I know it’s a major surgery that comes with a lot of risks, but it seems so much more controlled when planned in advance, which I find comforting.

My son loves her so much. She just like Mrs. Rachel but she African American! He shows the same interest as he does Mrs. Mrs . Rachel

Hey ladies! I’m currently 18 weeks (19 tomorrow) and I’ve been feeling baby boy tickling me for the last couple of weeks. I now think I am feeling him kicking me. I am just guessing that is what’s happening but I can’t even seem to catch him doing it! Anyone had this previously and has some advice with seeing baby kick? My Fiancé is desperate to see it and feel it but I have told him to be patient lol

Is anyone experiencing similar… I’m getting a dull constant ache in my lower stomach, under my bump/in a similar position to where my c section scar is (although I don’t think it had anything to do with that)
It comes on when I stand up or walk around. I thought it could be round ligament paint however I’m pretty sure that’s more shooting and stabbing pains where this is a dull ache. I didn’t have this with my first pregnancy so it’s left me abit confused.
I have a midwife appt tomorrow so I’ll mention it then but wondered if anyone else has the same?!
(I also have a 14 month and wondered if it could be to do with picking her up etc)
