Well I had my C-Section on the Tuesday night, home Wednesday 8pm and then was out for a walk Thursday afternoon 🤣
I was food shopping by the weekend and going out walking and down the canal the week after ☺️ just do whatever you feel comfortable with, no one will be able to tell you a right or wrong answer as to when you ‘should’ do things x

amazing. Thank you. I’m just about to leave hospital after nearly a week here (planned c-section turned into me ending up in critical care with ileus and two collapsed lungs 🙈) but I’m really hoping to get active asap cos I miss the outside world 😅

Had my c-section Thursday night, came home from hospital Saturday and went for a walk Sunday afternoon. Probably should have left it a little longer as I was exhausted after the walk, but after spending 10 days in hospital I had to get out of the house🤣

Date of discharge. Being mobile is fab for your recovery. Popping to the local shops even if it’s slow and you take rests is good for you.

I went to Costco at day 5 and it felt great to be out in public. Just sat down every 30 mins for a break or a feed x

oh god! Glad you’re okay.. I have my second section booked for Friday so I’m planning on doing the same things I did first time round..
I took regular pain meds , just paracetamol and ibuprofen for around 4 weeks and then just knew to stop so halved the amount then stopped.. just listen to your body! :) x

The next day, was back doing yoga after ten days and driving

Day 4 pp 😊

Listen to your body. I had an emergency section so was in hospital for a week after. When I got home, Partner asked if I’d like to come food shopping, after that I just felt like I had walked too far and over did it

It was 10 days for me. I had an emergency c section after days of a failed induction so my body was a bit exhausted x

Was born on the monday was going round tesco on the Friday 🫣😅

Stayed in hospital for 4 days and I had to go back on day 5 for an appointment. It was great!

Mine was an emergency c section and I went food shopping and the next day I was in pain, so I used to just walk to the shop and back which was a 5 minute walk there and back. The HV said it’s good to walk ☺️ and good to get some fresh air x

2 days :)

10 days but I only had catheter out on day 7 so was readmitted for it day 6! I was itching to go out haha. Didn't go out alone until baby was big enough for sling (9lb) which was about day 23. Because couldn't carry the pram alone.
Make sure your area is flat you need to wait 6 weeks to push uphill

I think I waited roughly 2 days 😂

One week for me

Day 4 for me but it was very short lol

Day 5! But don’t go alone… you’ll feel like you’re all better until suddenly you move too quick or there is a bump in the road. Literally the smallest movement will hurt

About three weeks, but I was severely swollen and actually couldn’t move LOL

woah! I’m so sorry! That sounds horrific! You poor thing! X

My little boy born 5th April at 18:15 weighing 6lbs 11oz. He kept it interesting by turning from breech on the day of my csection on April 1st. Started induction on his due date the 4th and he he was here within 24 hours. So happy and hope everyone else has an amazing birth experience <3

Bump..

Just hit 26 weeks pregnant and I CANNOT stop comparing my bump to other people! It doesn’t help with hearing “oh you’ve popped” or “where did that come from” every bloody day🙄
What are our 26 week bumps looking like? This photo was taken today and I am 26+1

Circumcision

Anyone know what the rates are for Circumcision? Did you choose to circumcisie or not?

More info for cesarean

Hi everyone, 26 weeks, just had my follow up scan after finding out at 20week (done at 22w due to scheduling) that I have complete placenta Privia. My dr said it was still early and can move as baby grows however today at our second scan, he said as it hasn’t moved in 4 weeks, and he is concerned that it may not move. He started taking about c sections and the high risks associated with it, and my head just wants to explode. I have had two medically perfect unmedicated births, and now I have to have my worst fear of being cut open come to life. I am absolutely terrified of having a c section. The whole reason I’ve done unmedicated both times is because I hate hospitals, I hate hate hate needles and how not only do I have to give birth in a hospital but also have to have a cesarean, and my entire medical team is going to be changed. I’m just so heartbroken and terrified. Im not sure exactly what I’m looking for, I guess just reassuring words or advice. Thanks

When did your pregnancy sickness get better?

I’m almost 8 weeks pregnant with my second, and the sickness this time is horrific. With my first little boy I had zero sickness at all, my pregnancy was a breeze. But this time it’s taken me out, and ofc I wasn’t expecting this as my first was so easy. I am gagging every 10 minutes almost throwing up, I am exhausted and I can hardly do anything, I can hardly eat and drink, I’ve never felt so ill in all my life.
When does this subside, because the mum guilt is eating me alive as I am feeling so unwell I cant do much with my little boy

(Fyi I’ve already had an early scan and there is one healthy baby ❤️)

Movements

I don't want to get paranoid like I did last pregnancy.
How movement changes towards the end? Im 37 weeks. I stopped Aspirin at 35 weeks.
I still fell her moving. Its just less intense.
Im not worried. I just want to make sure less forceful kicks are normal.
