I find it difficult to comprehend what I went through 4 months ago.

Hello, I've just joined as I'm seeking an Endometriosis diagnosis and wondered if there's any tips or advice! I have always had "heavy periods" but they became incredibly severe after having my daughter via C -Section in 2009. I went on the mini pill for several years and my periods disappeared, but

Hello, firstly let me say how brave it is to openly speak about a very uncomfortable illness. Not only does it affect your body it affects your way of life, your personality and your mental health and it's exhausting because you can't see it from the outside! I have severe endometriosis and I have not

So surreal to think we now have her birthday date! Unless she decides she’s coming earlier 💗 Feeling very overwhelmed this last couple of weeks trying to get things done. To think that in 6wks she will be in our arms is absolutely crazy and so exciting. Over 8yrs of wanting to hold our baby it will

My baby was born via c section & was 8.6lbs she had white buds on some of her top teeth when born. Now I have noticed she’s sucking her hands a lot and dribbling a lot more than usual. Is this a sign of teething?

I know I’m connected with a lot of women trying to make ivf happen and I just wanted to add some hope for those waiting for their little miracle, especially those over 40. Here’s mine. Alice Daisy, born 9th June at. 7lb 9 when I was 41 weeks plus two. Even the birth journey was hard. I went in for induction

Any experiences of VBAC? I had a baby 9 months ago and I am not pregnant again. The babies will be 16 months apart. I had an emergency c section after being induced. I'm really confused as to whether I should have VBAC or c section as the midwife said it was fine!

UPDATE 3.6.22: I just wanted to say a massive thank you so much for all of the kind messages and words of support 🙏. Our beautiful boy survived 5.5 hours of open heart surgery on Wed. We we were told by the surgeons that “it went smoothly”, which was a huge relief. However, it is still very early days

Has anyone had a natural birth at 45 weeks or older? I am flip flopping between natural or c-section. I like the stressless safety that c-section offers my baby and the fact that it pretty much rules out an emergency c-section which I want to avoid at all costs… and then I think of the fact that natural

Hlo all Only one and half month is left for my due date.. Need your suggestions. I am 35 yrs old and this is my first pregnancy.. Is it safe to deliver vaginally for me at this age??. All my reports are normal.

Hi, there! I am a first time mum and I am here after some advice about pumping colostrum before c-section. My midwife recommended to start but I cannot do it. I tried with a manual pump and with my hand, and nothing came out from my breasts. I really want to breastfeed my baby boy. Is that means that

My gorgeous baby boy was delivered via C-section last Monday. After 1 full round of IVF and 4 transfers, this man was our last embryo and wow are we happy he stuck! I never once managed to enjoy pregnancy as was so scared he wouldn’t make it, despite no signs whatsoever of trouble. I hope for everyone

Hi everyone. I’m new to the forum and wanted to say hello. This is my somewhat unknown numbered attempt at C25K. I started running in 2010, did C25K and completed so I could do race for life, which was great. My FIL was running and doing 10k so I stepped up the training and did 10k in 2011. In 2012

Since having my son 6 months ago every time I have a period the week after I get a lot of clear discharge with tiny bloody streaks. Mainly on a morning when I go for the first toilet. Today was pink like this in the pic but had nothing for the rest of the day. Anyone else have anything like this I has

Just a little update from me for anyone still following our (very long) journey so far! We have been TTC for 8 years now. 6 fresh cycles, 7 transfers & multiple losses later and we are finally booked to have a c section next week. I cannot quite believe it. It is a time of total mixed emotions right

Hi everyone, I was diagnosed with endometriosis in February after having a laparoscopy done privately. My consultant thinks I may have developed it after having 2 c sections, the last one being almost 6 years ago. I had no trouble at all getting pregnant with my two children. We decided at the the

Long story so apologies. Diagnosed with lupus 2009 after birth of my son who was delivered by c section. 2011 chronic inflammation of Crp and esr with a neutrophil count of 0. Emergency antibiotics resolved issue. Recurrent infections occurred, very general, eventually out on long-term low dose antibiotic

I’m Wondering if anyone has had a surgery that usually requires general anesthesia but instead with just local anesthesia? Due to PD, I really do not want to be “put under.” Hard to share this but I am inquiring with doctors soon and would appreciate advice. My online search for this did not turn

I am wondering if you kind people can please help? Currently 35+2 and since last Saturday have been using a blood sugar monitor from the hospital at home. Back story is, the baby has always from the beginning been measuring big. This is an ivf pregnancy and I have been on sertraline for horrendous anxiety
