Sex after c section
Ever since my c section in May we haven’t Bern able to have sex. Not because we don’t want to … we literally can’t. He can’t get it in like something is in the way. Went to GP and they said nothing is wrong just keep trying. It’s sore and literally can’t get it. Anyone else? What do I do?

Maybe a case of different positions?
I can't imagine waiting or trying for so long, must be awful for you both 🫣 xx
Probably pelvic floor. Same here 😑 just painful
Yes probably pelvic floor
Try to focus on relaxing your pelvic floor muscles
Hunny so sorry to hear this :(
It could be your pelvic floor but also maybe your muscles are very tense! I had this before and it was because I literally couldn’t relax so used to put my fists below me to lift my pelvis and breathe deeply. Not sure what you’ve tried but I feel for you xx
Use lube, Get on top , and relax your body completely and just start with day 1 getting the tip in, day 2 whole penis, day 3 sit with whole penis in, day 4 go up and down a few times but small movements day 5 take a break day 6 up and down fully day 7 you will be good!
Have you tried perineum massage?
It sounds like an overactive pelvic floor- I would speak to a pelvic floor PT and see if they have any recommendations. As someone who has lived with an overactive pelvic floor for my entire sexual existence, I also can't recommend enough lube- all of the lube, more than you think you need- even if you don't think you need it.

Waters breaking
Can anyone tell me their experience with waters breaking ? Did it come in a big gush or a light trickle ?
I’ve read it dosent always come as a big gush and sometimes comes as a light trickle. I’ve been experiencing a light trickle sensation the past 2 days but my underwear isn’t damp or anything so I’m not sure if I just go to the bathroom so often it dosent have time to soak or if it’s maybe just discharge ? I’m not sure if I’m just being paranoid or if I should get it checked out . I’m also just 37 weeks with first baby

Contraception
Hey girlies! My daughter is currently 14 months old, and I had the Mirena coil fitted at the end of September. Since then, I’ve been having a bit of a nightmare with my periods!
I’m currently on day 17 of my first period since having it fitted, and honestly, I’m so fed up. Before getting the coil, my periods were always really regular, lasting no longer than 5 days, so this has been a massive change for me. The bleeding has been quite heavy too, to the point where I’m going through pads every couple of hours, and the cramping has been pretty relentless.
I’ve recently been to see a doctor who did a vaginal ultrasound and said everything looked fine. However, she’s booked me in for another ultrasound with a sonographer to have a closer look at my ovaries. I’ve never had any issues with ovarian cysts before, so naturally, I’m a little worried about that.
Something else that’s been playing on my mind is the possibility of an ectopic pregnancy. There was a bit of concern raised because I’ve been experiencing some symptoms that can be associated with one, including cramping predominantly on my left side, pressure when going to the toilet and arm pain. I’ve also been having cramps almost daily since having the coil fitted, and they’ve gradually become more noticeable.
I know irregular bleeding and cramping can be quite common in the first few months after having the Mirena fitted, but 17 days of bleeding, especially when it’s this heavy, is really starting to get to me.
I just wanted to ask those of you who have the Mirena, what were your first few periods like? How long did your first period last, and did anyone else experience really heavy or prolonged bleeding? Did you have constant cramping too, and did things eventually settle down?
I’d also love to hear from anyone who experienced similar symptoms, particularly the one-sided pain or pressure. I’m not necessarily looking for medical advice, just interested in hearing other women’s experiences because I feel like I’m going a little crazy at this point!

Pins and needles
Hi everyone,
I had a c section on Friday and since Saturday evening or so, I’ve had pins and needles in my bum. At first I thought it was just from sitting for a long period of time but it doesn’t seem to go away. It doesn’t hurt, it’s just uncomfortable!
Did anyone else have this after their spinal? I don’t recall having it after my first section.
Thanks in advance ☺️

Induction
I have an induction booked for 40+3 if I don’t go into natural labour before then. They are asking whether I would prefer a medical or mechanical induction? Has anyone experienced either? If so, how was it? Would you have preferred a different option?
