I just had my 6 week check for me and baby, Is it normal for them not to see ur c section scar? It was a very quick appointment for me where they asked if my mood was okay and if I wanted contraception. I’m just guessing that I’m now able to get a bath, lightly exercise ect…

I didn’t have c section but I was hoping they’d check my stitches after vaginal delivery! I was in my appointment about 3 minutes came out very shocked how short it was! Similar just said how am I, asked if I wanted contraception, checked my bp and that’s it

They should check the scar to see if it has healed well, how do you think the scar feels like? As mine hasn’t healed 8 weeks in now but I’m exercising lightly already just no bath x

Mine was yesterday and the exact same. With my first c section they examined my stomach and pushed down etc to check my uterus had contracted I think.
I totally forgot to ask if I could have a bath 🙈

That was my experience with my first. Pointless tbh.

They checked mine but the appointment was more for baby than me. It was just check scar, you should go on contraception, are you happy, the end 🤣

Yeah 6 week check is absolutely useless. If they didn’t time it with my 2nd son’s jabs then I would cancel because they don’t do shit. Last time they just tried to push contraceptives and that was it

A lot of GPs arent even doing these checks anymore, they are just saying to call them if theres a problem which is awful!
Get your hospital bags ready guys, you never know what’s going to happen! (I knew this was going to happen though)

I was super excited to make it to 24ws. However OB check up was yesterday, since being seen every week in the high risk clinic I am now on a heart monitor. After experiencing several heart palpitations docs are concerned. I got a EKG done in the beginning of pregnancy because I was experiencing heart palpitations which ofc came back normal. Now I’m finally being monitored. I’m happy and sad b/c it’s so much with having an autoimmune disease and being pregnant. My first child is 3 and I didn’t have to go through any of this. Some days are definitely easier than others 😮💨
Is anyone else on a heart monitor or have been while pregnant?

Has anyone else got a seriously stubborn bubba who seems to have absolutely NO intention of making an appearance? 😂😭
I’m 40+6, 3cm dilated, had 3 sweeps, lost A LOT of mucus, and had 3 evenings of contractions after my second sweep… only for everything to completely stop and NOTHING since! 🫠
Now I’ve got an induction booked for Monday, so it looks like our October baby girl might just become a November baby girl! 🍂🤎
At this point, I think she’s far too comfy in there… but Mumma has officially had ENOUGH! 😂🤰🏼

I woke up the other night with extreme cramp in my calf, it eased after a while but I can still feel it a few days later. My calf just feels so tight.
Anyone else experience this? And what can I do to help?
