Just wondering if anyone else has experience with shaving around their c section scar? I’d like to be able to shave and tidy things up a bit I’m 6 weeks post partem next Wednesday but afraid to shave on and around the scar! Any advice on how long people waited?

Leave some tips if you have any pls ☺️

If your arrival time was 7am for a planned section what time did you go into surgery?

(Disclaimer - I am beyond grateful that my son and I are both happy and healthy however I am still carrying a lot of trauma regarding his birth.) I’m just curious as I’ve seen loads of photos of people who have had a c-section, holding their baby straight away but I never got to. I had a cat 2 emergency c section. ...

Hi ladies, I wondered if anyone has a basic list for what to pack in the hospital bag, typically for baby as clothing size I'm unsure of & really don't want to over pack or take items that I really don't end up using. I've looked on various websites/Google images & the lists all seem super overwhelming. Thanks in...

Has anyone had any experience with subchorionic hematoma? I just had my 8week scan and they found one. I was just curious if anyone in here has experienced this and what their experience was?

How far will everyone be when you have yours? I’ll be just under 10 weeks but I’m sure I had it much earlier last time. Also my dating scan was booked today! So scared baby won’t make it till then as I’ve had multiple miscarriages

Silly question, anyone here who’s had a baby before, I’m guessing you know a contraction pain from a random shooting pain or cramp?

My last pregnancy was a miscarriage and I haven’t had a period since so I kinda guessed my LMP and thought I’d be around 7 weeks. Booked a scan for tomorrow, now filling their questionnaire they predict 6+3… I’m really scared that they won’t be able to see anything on the scan, especially after my previous miscarria...

When did people get their mat b1 form? Was expecting I might at 20 week scan but I didn't and completely forgot to ask about it. My manager at work has asked about it so she can officially let HR know so worried now as I won't see the midwife again until 25 weeks.

Need to know if this is just me?! Gave labour a few days ago, needed an episiotomy and was completely numb from the waist down with a spine block. It’s obviously very sore down there with the episiotomy stitching too and my rectum looks unrecognisable with big lumps 😓 Anyone else experienced this and is there…

I had a c section 5 weeks ago. My scar has a very minor infection which I’m on day 3 of antibiotics it’s only a superficial infection. I’ve noticed when I press on my stomach above the scar it feels tender. Not painful just tender. Is this normal for 5 weeks post section? Looking for some reassurance! ❤️

Anyone else have super long January babies? This is a 3-9m sleepsuit on a 10w old babygirl 😂

So when did everyone start finding out how far they were dilated? Even though I’m 37 weeks I haven’t got a cervical check or anything and they said they don’t do it until I’m closer to full term to minimize unnecessary discomfort. However, I’ve been having really painful contractions that aren’t close enough to go t...

Just for fun, let me hear some unique ones too!

Hi all! I have a question. I’ve felt baby move daily since I was like 18 weeks (she’s my second), but today I’ve noticed her movement is pretty low. She’s moving a ton now, it feels like really low in my pelvis, but I never experienced this with my first. I have an anterior placenta this time, and I’m slightly overw...
