Help!! 12 days PP bowel incontinence
Anyone else experiencing or have done in the past bowel incontinence after a forceps and episiotomy with second degree tear? Haven’t been able to hold wind in much since giving birth but now lost control of my bowels on two occasions on way to the toilet with urgency with very little warning. Will call midwife tomorrow but wondered if anyone can offer me hope this isn’t forever!

Is it a wee you can’t hold in?
Sadly more bowel movements then bladder
With my first I had forceps and episiotomy, and I shit myself a couple of times after birth didn’t last long tho. I think the forceps just cause abit of damage or stress to the bowels but I’d deffo speak to your midwife about it x

Involuntary arm flings
Hey moms, my 6 month old keeps on having these involuntary arm flings on his one arm. I am wondering if it is totally normal?
The reason I’m concerned is because one week ago I had a fall while wearing him in the carrier which was a huge scare. At the hospital they did all the checks including an ultrasound of the brain through his Fontanelle which showed everything was completely as it should be, and he had no signs of the fall at all. But since then I noticed the arm movements and can’t remember if it happened before, it’s totally normal that it’s happening and if I’m being a bit paranoid post trauma from the fall, or it could be linked in any way that I need another opinion?
Advice please!

Elective C Section experiences/thoughts?
Due to get induced due to low Papp-a 40+1 but I really don’t want an Induction so I’m starting to consider an elective csection instead so I still have positive experience alongside more control?

Cramping at 8 weeks
I’ve had a lot of period type cramps the last few days. They’re noticeable but not unbearable. I am 8 weeks 3 days, but anywhere between 7,5and 8,3 realistically. I can’t remember having cramping with my first, and this has got me worried.
