Is this just an indent???(taken within time frame)
Have anyone managed to have a successful v back with their second baby? I’m praying beyond belief I get a natural birth and not have to have another c-section
I’m almost 26 weeks with my twins and I’m terrified that they have to come out lol I’ve already had a child and had him vaginally 11 months ago and it was extremely traumatic for me the whole thing from start to finish. I wanted to try and do a vaginal delivery with my twins because I’m scared to have a c-section it...
Cervix checked today for the first time, 2cm dilated, 70% effaced and at -2. Hopefully we meet baby boy soon!
Any moms in here have 3 c sections. If so how did things go??????? I'm on my 3rd this Friday and I'm nervous
So my boyfriend who I had a baby with in June has recently referred to her birth as the worst thing that could have happened in his life. Am I justified in being furious at this?
I’m due an elective c section next Wednesday, I have to go in at 7am. I was just hoping for any positive stories on healing once you get home since I go in on the 30th and my partner has a shift at work on the morning of the 2nd so I’m a bit scared. My mums offered to come and look after me while he’s gone, so has t...
I am due in January and opting for a c-section in Liverpool Women's, I'm just wondering if anyone knows when I will receive my date? I have a consultant app in Nov so wondering if this is when I will get it?
Is anyone electing for a c section & due the week of Christmas? I’m due Christmas Eve and midwife today scared me saying they may not do the c section until after Christmas, in my trust (in Essex) they don’t give you a date till approx 1 week before, has anyone else been given a date for an elective and due around t...
Did you save your placenta after giving birth?
My c-section is scheduled for tomorrow morning & I'm doing last little (& not-so-little) cleaning around the house... trying not to freak out. I can't believe she's about to be here 🫨 🙏🏾I am grateful in advance for a safe delivery & an uncomplicated recovery.
Hello, I had an Emergency c section June 2022 with my daughter. I’m now pregnant with my second daughter and am being consultant led. I met with me consultant yesterday who quite frankly terrified me about everything?! I had an emergency c section due to being septic - got induced had a lot of medical interventions ...
Non induced people please. I’m 4 days past my due date with no signs 😩😩😩
I’ve just had my 36 week growth scan and to my surprise baby is extended leg breech - he was head down at my 32 week growth scan and since then midwives have assumed he’s still head down but turns out what they’ve been feeling is his bum 🫣 I have a consultant appointment on Monday to talk about my options but it…
After a c section 2 months ago my belly is really saggy with very crepey skin. The rest of me is still slim...will this ever retract even a little bit? I know it shouldn't matter but I used to like wearing dresses etc and now I'm like slim all over except for this chunky flabby belly...the Dr said that's me forever now
Hi loves is anyone having an elective c-section and already been given their dates? I’m 37+3 and was initially told I was booked in for the 3rd but when I asked at my last appointment I was told I was not booked in until I got my pre-op. Just wondering if anyone has any idea on when I can expect this. My partner do...
I have been told by my consultant that they will recommend induction due to my GD, some point between 38-39 weeks, maybe earlier depending how big the baby is measuring later on. I need to read up on it but can anyone share their experiences? How were you induced, length of labour etc. good or bad so I can prepare m...
Went to the bathroom in the middle of the night and stood up to then have some leakage down my leg. Unsure if that was my water breaking or I just didn’t finish peeing. 35 weeks currently.
Anyone else’s deflated belly just hanging? I’ve had a c section and it’s covering the scar and generally looks awful. Is this normal? When will it disappear ?
I do understand we get Braxton Hicks and I experience that too but they are painless. The contractions I’m getting are somewhat painful though bearable. My OB said I’m not dilated etc. so I’ll just keep an eye out but damn. Anyone else?
