If your due date was October 3rd but you need a c section which would be a week early (September 26th) would you put October or September on your pregnancy announcement?

During my first pregnancy i had a planned c-section that went so good, from the beginning throughout the recovery, nothing to complain about. I am pregnant again, and from the first day i knew about it i already made up my mind about another c-section. Now i am 22 weeks pregnant and i am starting to really struggle ...

Hey!! I’ve carried on working out all the way through my pregnancy and recently I feel mean to baby boy to keep jumping during my hiit workouts! So burpees, squat jumps etc!

Hi! Has anyone had a recent c section at Warwick Hospital? I had a previous emergency in 2022, and due another one on Monday. When I was discharged last time I was given paracetamol, ibuprofen and oramorph (liquid morphine) - is this still the case? A friend of mine had a c section at Coventry and was sent home on...

So I had my daughter in November on the 6th and got the arm implant for my BC.. I've had it since 15 on and off but never had a baby until Nov and have had maybe 10 - 13 days off randomly of bleeding... Could that be the implant?

A bit TMI but anyone else have the opposite to the common constipation and have a upset stomach instead? 😅 it’s only the time I wake up in the morning this happens I’ve noticed.

32 weeks, and my morning sickness is back :( luckily isn’t not all day sickness! I had morning sickness from 6 weeks until about 21 weeks…. That lasted the whole day which was horrible. I am now struggling a little now just the mornings but nothing is actually coming out…. Any tips?

Anyone that had the implant after having a baby, anyone that had the “excessive” blood loss (the lady said 1/5 experience it) Did the bleeding start soon after the implant went in? During/ after your first period after the implantation? Thank you
