Can someone help me understand…?

I’m 26 weeks pregnant, I’ve felt baby moving for a month or so now, and it seems entirely logical to me that how I feel the baby’s movements will change. Surely as the baby is growing and moving about in there, I will feel different sensations…? And I have! I understand there are risks but if baby is less active one...

Ttc bleeding?

For the past 3 days I have had 2-4 hours of bleeding a day but very light, like you’d only notice when you wipe at the toilet? I’m so confused to what this is as I am currently only 4dpo! Has this happened to anyone else ?

C-section hip/groin pain

Has anyone else experienced a constant dull ache in their left hip/groin post C-section with occasional very sharp pains? I’m 16 days post C-section and paracetamol, ibuprofen and dihydrocodeine isn’t doing much pain wise. Incision all looks ok so not sure what is going on 🤷‍♀️

Elective c section

If youve had an elective c section and you hadn't started labour at all before hand, did you bleed vaginally straight away? Or is there a delay? With my 1st I had an emergency c section but I was fully dilated and pushing, the whole shabang at that point so I bled straight away.. im just trying to see where I'll sta...

Getting nervous now

Hey all! This time around, I'm having a planned caesarian section as having my first born was quite traumatic and ended up being a category 2 emergency ❤️ Any planned section mamas here who have been through it before, what can I expect from a planned section?

Is this normal ?

Going to try and keep this short as possible. My baby has been trying to get her left foot for weeks, she finally did it a few days ago, but she’s just not interested in the right foot. She looks at it a couple times, but not bothered by it, she puts her hand on her right knee but that’s as far as it goes or even t...

Circumcision help?! please only answer if you chose to circumcise!

Hi mummies, I’m due with my little man in 6 weeks and I’m having a hard time deciding whether to circumcise or not. My questions are What was the healing like for your boys?
