FTM c-section booked
Hey, I’m due to have my baby via c-section next week and I’m terrified! I’ll be 37+4 (have to have a section due to being high risk). I’ve never had an operation in my life. If anyone has any positive stories to share about the day, the recovery, etc, I’m all ears 🙏 I feel like I’m desperately trying to avoid hearing the bad experiences

You will be ok ❤️
I'm booked for my c section in 2 weeks and I'm feeling apprehensive like you. Had nightmares at the weekend. I had two natural births but never a c section. All I can offer is that I have had 4 friends who had c sections and they've all been fine and recovered well. Hopefully we will be the same! Wishing you all the best ❤
Get on a stool softener asap it will be a major help when you’re recovering :)
I have had two c sections, both great experiences with no issues during or in recovery. It can be a bit daunting when you first go in to theatre but the staff have been really comforting for my operations!

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?

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

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?

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 ☺️

growth scans / 28+2
Hi i’ve seen a few posts about growth scans & people saying how much their babies weigh but i have no idea how much mines weigh, will i have a growth scan at some point or is this only for higher risk pregnancies?

28 weeks and feeling fed up!
This is my 3rd and I’ve never felt this uncomfortable so early on. I can’t get comfortable whether I’m sat or laying down. I ache so much. When I lie down it feels like my lungs are compressed and my hips hurt. I remember this all so well towards the end of my last 2 pregnancies, but how am I supposed to manage it for potentially 12 weeks?! Is anyone else feeling the same. I’m not sleeping well I’m exhausted. Don’t get me started on the heartburn 😂😂
