Labor & Birth

Hello! I’m 35+5 and have been feeling intense period pain on and off for a few days now but today it was accompanied with a feeling of heavy pressure in my lower abdomen. Sometimes the pressure was so much it felt like my waters might go. I wondered if anyone else is having / has had this? My son was born at 37 week...

Hi, I'm currently 26 weeks and unsure if my waters are slowly leaking. Has anyone ever experienced this before? Earlier today I felt a sharp pain in my lower pelvis/crotch area (roughly about 2pm) and since about 9pm I've been leaking what I'm assuming is either amniotic fluid, wee or just discharge. It's clear and...

I was induced with my last baby and ended up with an emergency c section, but this time due to baby size we have a planned c section. Did anyone have a planned c section and go into spontaneous labor before their planned date? My dr has assured me that I will get my c section either way but I’m curious how many of y...

Hello! What is everyone using on their C-Section Scars to help with healing/over hang etc?

I'm due in October and I want to opt for another c-section im just scared of how it's gonna go, like does it hurt more afterwards? does it take longer in the theater? Tell me ur second c-section stories :))

Morning girls I’ve woke up this morning with clear sticky jelly like discharge, only after I went to the toilet and wiped I noticed it a lot I had to wipe 3/4 times. Could this be my mucus plug? I’m 34+3. thanks ladies

Hey ladies, diagnosed around 28weeks and bow 30weeks plus 3, first baby ivf. I’ve been told last week baby weighing around 4lbs and abdominal circumference showing top end large, think like 2weeks ahead. Being scanned at 32weeks and told would book elective c section at week 39,and wondered if he kept growing much ...

To anyone who’s had an elective c-section before please could you share your experience/ any advise! This is my second baby but will be my first c-section due to many risks and the fact they’re going to be taking my right ovary & tube at the same time! Any insight is appreciated!

Its been over 2 years since i had c-section. My tummy hurts so badly if i walk more than usual. It feels like something inside my lower tummy is hurting. Yesterday i had a very long walk probably like 30 minutes which is a lot for me and my tummy is still hurting even after taking paracetamol.

I had my first sweep last Friday when I was 40 weeks, since then my underwear is always wet, but not contractions at all, just crumps in my kidneys. Do you think that maybe I broke my waters and is dropping? Or should I contact my midwife? Also I'm taking Canesten Pessary as I'm having thrush. Tia

Im 41+1 weeks pregnant, I’ve had irregular contractions since last night, however tonight they’re getting really intense (painful) and are getting closer together. Longest apart has been 15min and closest together has been 4min. Contractions lasting between 50 and 90 seconds… I live an hour away from the hospital…. ...

Hey! So I had a sweep yesterday and I was almost 2cm dilated. Last night I had inconsistant cramping but since 5am i’ve been having what i think is contractions? they seem to be coming in waves. The pain is about 7/10 right now. Do you think this is early labour? 🥹

Can I do Pilates 8 weeks after a C-section? I have never done it before

My baby is turning 8 months this month, I had her by c section and I’d fallen pregnant again I just found out. Is this a serious risk to my health???

I'm 3.5 months pp, and I'm still having difficulties. When I wear clothes that are on my hips (underwear and pants) my scar starts to hurt. It stings and feels a little how it did in the beginning of recovery. I have to pull all my pants to my belly button for comfort, but it's still very uncomfortable. Any tips/t...

I’m going to have a scheduled c section on 05/23. Starting to write my birth plan, what things you included in yours?
