C section recovery

Is anyone struggling getting in and out of bed or scared that’s their wound will open? I get my dressing off tomorrow but Im scared. Both my feet are swollen and I’m struggling with the pain and having to pick up baby. I’m only 4 days pp so I know it will take time but any tips are appreciated.

Elvis 🎸

So my husband is trying to convince me on the name Elvis if we have a baby boy… Not even particularly after the musician, he just likes the name but I’m pretty convinced he would just get asked ‘oh after Elvis Presley?’ his whole life but my husband doesn’t thinks so…. What do you guys think?

Should I be worried ?

I’m 33 weeks pregnant and my doctor checked my cervix because I’ve had quite a few Braxton hicks contractions lately and she said my cervix is still thick but she could fit just her fingertip in it , but ever since she checked I’ve been in so much pain walking is terrible. I would understand feeling like this after ...

Anyone experienced something similar?

Ever since my little guy was around 3-4months old I've noticed a strong right hand preference. I wrote it off for a while, but started noticing it was getting to the point of delayed motor milestones. Didn't roll till 7 months, but only in the direction where he could use his good arm to help with momentum. He's fin...

Waters broke at 32 weeks - good vibes needed

Unlikely to be a June mumma now as I’m in hospital as my waters broke this weekend. I didn’t actually even realise (break at the top of sack) and came in for severe back pain, and then they tested me and it was positive for amniotic fluid. They’ve said baby could come in next 48 hours, or potential it could still be...
