Is anyone else’s 6 week old in 3-6 month clothes already? 🤣🤭

in our community

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.

Recovery

I’m due for my elective section in a weeks time at 40+3.

This is my first baby and after dreaming of a unmedicated vaginal birth, an induction is needed due to low Papp-a and this week i’ve finally chosen an elective section over induction for a few reasons (mostly mental and to have a good experience).

Firstly, what would you recommend? I completely understand healing/recovery is so much harder with a section but I think I’m willing to risk the physical impact than the mental impact of emergency/induction.

Secondly, recovery tips please! I have an extremely supportive partner who will make sure I do everything by the book to recover✨

Hip pain when sleeping

I have been sleeping on my sides as per recommendations but every night throughout the night I wake up multiple times because my hips feel like they’re bruised from laying on them. I have a pregnancy pillow and whilst it is comfortable I feel like it’s doing nothing?! Any recs would be great please

How can my husband feel baby move

I want my husband to be able to feel the baby move but whenever he touches my belly baby stops moving 😂
Anything I can do to get baby to move more lol?

I'm 22 weeks pregnant and have a posterior placenta.

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!
Share away please ❤️❤️

Possible C-Section and I live on the 3rd floor.

I am currently pregnant with my third and even though our doctor said I am a candidate for a VBAC after the 2nd C-Section. I want to be prepared because if I have any complications they won't even let me try. The only problem I forsee this time is two things. The first being that we currently live on the third floor with no elevator. Is there a way to get upstairs without aggravating stitches? And I now have a toddler who will be 18 months when my baby gets here. I have thought about a set of stairs to get to the diaper changing station similar to how they have it in a daycare setting but not sure how it'll work out. Any advice?
