You NEED to wait 6 weeks. Wait for clearance from your OB. You have a dinner plate sized wound in your uterus from where your placenta detached and sex can bring bacteria which can cause an infection to the wound if you haven’t healed yet. I know it’s not the answer you want to hear but it’s a short amount of time in the grand scheme of things ❤️

You have to wait because of the open wound the placenta left. So no matter how you birth you still have that wound that’s susceptible to infection. That’s why you’re not supposed to put anything up there for 6 weeks minimum.

Ya’ll are crazy thinking you can’t handle no sex for 6 weeks. It’s only your life you’re risking 🤪 the chances are you’ll only maybe die. 🤗👌 go for it, your new baby will be fine. 👍

Second pregnancy, same rude midwives!

Honestly, I can’t believe how we’re sometimes treated during pregnancy.

I went to my first appointment today and asked for a toxoplasmosis test because of a potential exposure (my husband cooked a half cooked venison burger 😑).

The midwife’s response? “I don’t know how it is in your country, but here we don’t routinely test for it. I’ve had a lady from France who wanted a test too because apparently that’s how they do it there.”

To which I replied, “I wouldn’t know, I’ve never been pregnant in France!” 😂 And just to clarify, I’m not even french, I’m belgian!

The whole appointment was honestly awful. I know the exact date of conception, but not the first day of my last period and my cycles are very irregular. Despite explaining all of this, I was told multiple times I was probably 9 weeks, maybe 10, when I know for a fact I’m 11 weeks.

Now I’ve been told I need to go to the Early Pregnancy Unit to confirm my dates (that I already know), because they’ve booked my first scan for after 14 weeks.

Absolute joke 😅

C-section - 3 weeks

Hey mums😊Is anyone else struggling with how their C-section looks? I feel like mine has created this little shelf that makes my lower belly stick out and the area right above my vagina look puffy or fat. Almost like my stomach and pubic area form a “B” shape.
It’s not that noticeable but I can notice it 😩 I don’t know if I’m explaining it properly, but it’s really messing with how I feel about my body.
Does anyone else have this?
Does it go away?
Any suggestions, products or anything that could help?
I understand I’m 3 weeks post surgery and all, so is still healing and my body is recovering.

Gender?

Hi all! i hope you’re doing well.

i went for an early reassurance scan and was only 9 weeks here, so maybe impossible to tell but i was just wondering if there are any experts here that could have a guess at the gender? 🥲🩷
