C Section Experiences?
Hey everyone!
I’m currently 2 weeks post second section and am having a horrendous time. I just want to see what other people’s experiences were with their recovery second time around. My BP is spiking I’ve been in and out of hospital and then I have a wound infection and am currently taking antibiotics. Just feeling a tad lonely atm only so much my partner can understand, although he has been amazing!

Have you been tested for preeclampsia?
You can have preeclampsia post partum. I had a c section and antibiotics due to an infection. I was only in the hospital for 1 night so I think I came out too early and my recovery was better with lots of walking and drinking lots of fluids. Is the loneliness hormonal are you sleeping alright
I had a really bad experience too but it does get better. I’m also due my second next month & super nervous for another section.
I was in & out of hospital with my first c-section due to post partum preeclampsia and I also had a wound infection. The loneliness is so normal, your body has been through a major surgery and obviously the hormonal crashes when you have a baby. Just keep talking to the people around you and take help where you can. Hopefully now you’re on anti-biotics the infections clears quite quickly and you can start feeling a little more human! I hope you’re okay, it feels tough because it is tough. Make sure you find little pockets of time to look after you ❤️

Please help me build a case for elective c-section
Heya! Was hoping someone with experience could help me figure out how hard it is to get approved for elective c-section in the UK. And could help me to build my case for it!
I am 2nd time pregnant after emergency c-section 2.5 years ago. I am only in my first trimester and so far don’t have any specific recommendation for c-section. However for various reasons I would like to request elective one this time.
My main reason is mental health and stressful birth experience. I was desperately trying to request c-section with my first by the end, but everyone just kept offering diverse interventions to avoid it, just to end up having c-section anyway, but unexpected and stressed.
I am also mum of a toddler now with no support group other than my husband around…I simply can’t afford to have relatives hang around for weeks waiting till I go into labor so they can look after my older son
Just looking to hear your experience of getting successfully approved 🙏 I had a first midwife appointment and she booked me with consultant to discuss it

Clear blue pregnancy test
Is it true if it says 1-2 weeks you’re probably 3-4 weeks pregnant?

Just wanted to see if anyone else had these issues.
I was just taken to the hospital by ambulance early this morning. I have never been in so much pain in my life. I woke up out of dead sleep to feeling like I was getting stabbed in my upper center stomach and someone was twisting the knife. I was screaming and throwing up and nothing was helping I couldn’t even get in the car for my fiancee to drive me so ems and cops had to come. They ended up giving me a low dose of fentanyl and it helped me so much. We did blood tests urine tests ultrasounds on my liver and gallbladder all for them to say “he must of just kicked you hard”. I’m 32 weeks pregnant and been feeling him kick me since 16 weeks. This was not that. I felt so dismissed something felt wrong I wasn’t hoping for something to be wrong but at least I would have gotten an answer to what caused me to be in that much pain. I feel okay now I’ve been sleeping all day but am so sore tired and scared it’s going to happen again. It was constant pain so wasn’t contractions. I just feel so defeated and can’t wait to never be pregnant again for the rest of my life.

Bump not growing?
Maybe I'm just freaking out more than usual today but looking at my bump pictures, it feels I haven't grown since 22 weeks and I'm 26.5 weeks. At 20 weeks I had to go back on a medication that is not recommended for pregnancy and one of the dangers is restricted uterine growth. My anxiety is just at an all time high today. Im not looking for anything. Just a safe space to get my concerns out. Im already being monitored extra.
