Hey everyone ! Just want some advice around Epidural. I am so confused whether to have it or not. Will Love to hear some stories and how it went for the mums who had it. Are there any complications or risks involved ?
hi! so i’ve been wanting a natural birth for the longest of times but now im 38 weeks i just feel like maybe a section is the best option for me… the midwife couldn’t tell if he was breech again (he was at 34 weeks but 2/5 engaged at 36) so im having to have a scan tomorrow, ive noticed his movements have become reduced the past week and im surprised no one has brought up induction/csection when ive been checked. how do i elect for a csection? is it worth bringing it up tomorrow when i have my presentation scan or should i wait till my original midwife is back from holiday as i had someone new just for today’s appointment. thank you x
Hi Girls, any advice for a FTM with an elective c-section almost 5 weeks away. How far in advance is best to get waxing? I think I read it’s not ideal to be freshly waxed right before surgery. And also what are peoples opinion on nails? I usually have Gel on my fingers but all my pre surgery stuff is quite generic saying ‘no nail vanish’ yet I know so many friends who have had c-section with gels or acrylics or those that have ended up have unexpected emergency sections with stuff on their nails. All really minor in the grand scheme of things I know!
38 weeks Sunday but the whole of today I’ve had tightening in my belly. Feeling sick, Think I’m losing my mucus plug slowly, i really think I’m going to go into labour soon or is anyone else feeling the same ?
I'm pregnant with my first and it's getting closer, what should I put in my hospital bag, I know to put nappies, wipes etc anything thats essential or anything extra thank you 😊 I just wanna be prepared and have it all ready.
Hi there, I’m scheduled for November 20 with twins and would like to know what to expect. I’d really appreciate you sharing your experience! TIA
