How to reduce fat after c-section?
I’m having a strong cramping sensation in my lower abdomen & tightening every 5-10 minutes. I have been timing them for an hour. When should I call the hospital? I’m 38+3
Some places say 4 weeks others say 6, what do you think? Either way can’t believe baby will no longer be newborn soon!
Please could you tell me what you are packing or if you’ve given birth before, what was essential while in hospital. There are so many items I’ve seen like the Frida mom recovery kits but is it all really needed? TIA
How many moms here have had a date to be induced and it turned into a C-section? I have been given a date to be induced for next week but ive heard a lot of women who go into a planed induction turned into an unplanned C-section??
Hey ladies. So I may have to have a c section and as superficial as it sounds I’m really worried about being left with a “c section pouch” is there anyway to avoid this?
As in without being past due date but as long as you’re full term? My sister was saying you could and I would honestly consider it as I’m already miserable for a number of reasons but my mum thinks she’s wrong 🙈 do the nhs support it? I know I’ve overheard them offer it to those who are full term and go in for…
I’m 41 weeks now, has anyone else gone past 42 weeks ? I’m declining induction so if he hasn’t coke by 42 weeks I will elect for another c section rather than go through the trauma of induction just to have it fail anyway 😅 was hoping for a home birth after previous section 5 years ago. Anyone experience anything…
Does this look normal? 4 days PP.
Today they took off my plaster over my wound and woah it’s so painful! The pain from the wound has been about a bit painful but now that the plaster is off it’s sooooo sensitive & painful wow! 😭 Is this just me?
Just wondering how soon after giving birth can I massage the incision area? I’m currently 4 months pp. I’d also like to try out the silicone sheets for scarring. Not sure if they actually help or just another gimmick 😵💫😅
39 +5 Do y’all ever feel the need to push something out your coochie but nothing comes out? Like im not constipated or anything and I show no signs of labor as of current. (I have a scheduled elective induction for 4/1) but I still feel like pushing something out? Anyone else?
I’ve self referred myself at Royal London, and haven’t heard yet. I’m 6 weeks today. Any experiences with them and their birthing centre?
Im 38weeks and everything is normal and healthy. im 3cm dilated and just want this baby out. i cant get induced due to wanting a completely natural birth. Does anyone have any tips. Im doing 2 cups of raspberry tea Eating 5 Dates and doing all the exercises that I’ve been told to do.
Hey! I’ve had my elective c section referral form submitted by my consultant. I’m just wondering if anyone knows roughly when you get told the date it’s booked in for? I totally forgot to ask 👀. Oops. 🙊.
Hoping to hear some mamas experiences of having an induction. I was initially dead set against it (last labour was very painful and heard inductions make it worse!) but I’ve been offered one for next week and I’m so uncomfortable now, I’m just desperate to get her out. Would love to hear some stories! Good and bad!
I had an emergency c-section in 2022 and it was the most horrifying painful experience ever. I just had a PLANNED one today and it was 100x better and less painful. 🥰🥰 I was terrified to come in today but everything went very smooth and according to plan. My twins are healthy and I’m in minimal pain 🥰 walking…
I have had a significant increase in bowel movements today, I am 34 + 4. I have heard that increased poops happen before labour to clear the body out and this has made me slightly nervous. Has anyone else had this towards the end and its not lead to imminent labour?
In so embarrassed but I’ve recently noticed that I’ve started having a different natural smell down there, my discharge smells the usual but my natural smell and sex smell has changed it’s not a strong fish odour but a slight one ( it kinda of reminds of faint skips the crisps after you’ve washed your hands) and it’...
Idk why i’m so excited but a glob of mucus plug came out today!! 37+5 days preggo ❤️ I’m so ready for my baby to come!!
