Hey I’m having an elective C-section tomorrow and I’m super nervous I have a hospital and needle phobia and I can’t stop thinking about it, I had a panic attack at my pre op and I’m so worried I won’t be able to go through with it, any tips or positive stories? Thank you!xx

Anyone ever had this its freaking me out abit its hanging out at the end of scar

Is it true that having a third baby by C-S is also super risky, or is it just not true ?

I know it’s abit TMI but I think the dignity will be out the window come labour time. But I’ve read so many people say that Bowles become looser before labour. Has anyone had this before. The last two days I’ve practically felt empty and I just can’t seem to stop. How long did it take you if you’ve already experienc...

Is anyone having a planned c section in June? Have you got a date yet? I have a consultant appointment when I’m 37weeks but I feel like what if it’s to late for them to book me in for a date if I was to have baby the next week or something I just don’t want it to be last minute again. I just feel stressed as my firs...

Ladies just wanted to know how is the spinal anaesthesia feels like during C section, is it a lot painful and does it also cause back pains afterwards. And what about when the catheter is inserted is it painful too?

Anyone been in the same situation or are in it currently. Had a growth scan today I'm 32 weeks and baby's stomach is measuring 2 weeks behind she's dropped 50% weight from 21 centile to 11th since last scan. They said if she continues to drop they may have to think about an early delivery with either induction or c...

What are your hospital birth must haves to pack for vaginal or c-section delivery? What did you wish you brought but didnt and will next time (if you plan to have another) I want to be as prepared as I can be without packing the whole house lol

So I’m 8 weeks pregnant, my little one is 6 months old & it was a Cat 1 c section. The age gap will be roughly 14 months. Has any one had a successful vbac? I’m scared of having another section as I was put to sleep for my first. I need some hope😂
