Little one just turned two months old maybe 3 days ago. Me and hubby have definitely been “active” as my libido is the highest it’s ever been and we have sort of gotten out of hands on a few occasions, as well as the condom coming off and neither of us realizing. So chances are high that maybe I am going to end up b...
Anyone else not had a peep of labour starting? I’m climbing the walls - I’m booked in for induction this Sunday (2days) and I really don’t want to be induced! I really want a water birth and was told by my midwife the ward is so busy I’ll just be walking the corridors /monitored until I’m ready to have the baby / ...
Discharge is starting to get a little thicker.. still the same color tho ( white ish ) could this be the mucus plug?
Has anyone else found intercourse painful after a C-section? Not in terms of dryness but tightness. We done it for the first time and my vagina just felt so tight it was painful. Wondering if it gets better or I'm going to need physio for my pelvic floor.
Hi all, I’m a first time Mum and have a few questions about my planned c section: • Can I wear a little bralette/ sports bra with no wire when I’m having the c section? • How soon after can I have a shower/ how do I protect the incision from the water? • Do they put the catheter in after the epidural or before? •...
Has anyone got an idea on how I could help it? I had a c-section and had sex a few times. In some moments I get this burning and stinging sensation that lasts a few seconds then eases but it’s been almost three months and I’m still feeling it.🤔 I use lube to help but it’s not really doing anything
Anyone else struggling and in the same boat? my son is in NICU and due to have an operation next week. Don’t feel like anyone is asking how I am too. and it’s taking a toll on me anyone else the same?
Uhhhhh labor can come faster 2cm the vjj pain😣 any suggestions on what to do with the constant pain?
Does any one of you have been using high waist underwear after c-section? I feel like it would help, I have a sharp pain in one of the stitches when i move. And my abdominal binder doesn't reach over there. Do you think buying underwear for this would help? Although it is probably just for 15 days
Recently had an emergency c section and as it states in the name I wasn’t prepared for it. I have the urge to go number 2 but I freeze up every time because of the pressure on my wound … any tips ??
I have tried sex, pumping, walks, miles circuit….nothing will change my cervix. I am 39+1 and can’t get to even 1cm dilated. My doctor couldn’t even reach my cervix to attempt a membrane sweep. Now next week I have to prepare for monitoring and NST…..I’ll research that more tonight as I’m not quite sure what it mean...
Did anyone put together a hamper or bring some sort of gift for the midwives who helped deliver your baby, and if so, what kind of stuff did you bring? Thank you x
I feel like I am having strong contractions every 10-11 minutes for the past 4 hours. Are these Braxton hicks or how long does it start to get closer together?
Hi everyone this here is Jayce who is 5 weeks old right now he born on the solar eclipse and I had no idea that he was going to be born with an extra chromosome. He is my first born and I’m 29 years old so I was very caught off guard. We just had a visit with his cardiologist thankfully no surgery needed yet but sti...
I had a c section 11 days ago and still have itching all over my body, has anyone else had this and how long it is likely to last?
I have a blanket with baby’s name on to go in the hospital bag, I’m due on the 20th of June! The blanket with his name on is a cellular blanket, should I pack another cellular blanket or a more fluffy one?
Hey has anyone given birth here before? And how many people can you have in the room with you aside from myself and dad I'm currently 38 +1 so I'm due any day now hopefully
Anyone here had a csection or an emergency c section. I feel like my body failed me. I always feel upset and disappointed, I really wanted a natural birth but baby was in distress. I could really use some advice to get over this trauma
How long after a c section did you feel your tummy going back to original size or something similar, I’m 3 months post surgery n I have the c section pouch but wondering if my excess tummy flab will get any smaller?
My elective section has been cancelled & re arranged to a different day & partner hospital! Their reasoning is because I’m a maternal referral not a consultant referral so in this case a woman needs it more than I do (totally understand this!). But to be moved hospitals when I’ve had 9 months at my preferred choice....
