Experiences with

Caesarean section

Every Cancer is different is what they all say. I seem to have inherited a very different one. Urination issues: Had urination issues as symptoms beginning last Summer, and diagnosed in November with Ductal PCA. The medical solution to my pissing problem was a TURP. Lasted a bit over two months

I'm 25 (no children) and have a melon-sized fibroid (10cmx8cm) behind my uterus. I have been referred for surgery and would love to connect with other women who have been through a similar journey. As you can see, I get extremely bloated and uncomfortable after eating but other than that I don't get

Hi all, I was wondering if anyone had a similar experience to mine and has any tips to work past it. I gave birth to my daughter 3 weeks ago, she's my first child. The birth started off at home until I was 7cm and had a bleed so got blue lighted into hospital. I had an epidural on arrival at 5pm and

Hi there I thought I'd create this thread for people to vent about their birth experiences I've noticed since the birth of my daughter 10 days ago there's not much support there are health visitors and midwives but I'm finding the support inadequate for example this morning I get a call from the midwife

I’m having elective c-section next week. A consultant told me I can have Mirena(IUD) when I have a c section as it’s unable to get it at the moment due to covid if you wanted it later time. Slightly concerned as normally it’d be the best to have 6-8 weeks after the birth. I was told I need to get checked

Hello Fellow Warriors! Started two weeks ago with a UI, but was able to empty the tank with some burning and pissing very often. Started on an antibiotic. That didn't help, so on to a different antibiotic that started last Friday. Pissing became more difficult that next day and Sat night thought

Hello there! So apparently my wife has issues with her libido. She never had issues with these kind of things. She was sexually active (wish she was a bit more 😂) and she was enjoying her sexuality. We never had problems with our sex life. So after she gave birth with c section she had her recovery

My clinic said I have to wait 1 year and NHS recommend 2 years. I want to try for the next baby as soon as possible because there is no guarantee it will work on 1st try. I'm totally fine with have children similar ages. My brother and I are only 15 months apart. Some women get pregnant very quickly

Hi all, I am from India and my father (75 years) was recently diagnosed with metastatic prostrate cancer with distant metastasis to bones (avid during PET scan). He has had an enlarged prostrate for a long time and a recent blood test showed a PSA of close to 500! That is when a biopsy was done which

I'm worried about the side effects. Anyone suffer from them? How badly does it affect your life. Was it worth it?

Hi All, this is my first post but hoping you may be able to shed some light on all of this for me. Had a pelvic MRI yesterday, how long usually for the results to come back? The nurse afterwards said they have to pass the results on to gynae & urology (?), then it will go to the gynae team at St Marys

Hi, is it normal to experience cramping mid cycle when you're on the combined pill? The reason I ask is because I am waiting for results of a MRI to establish if the cyst in my right ovary is cancerous. The ovary is currently cramping, not too painfully but consistently all day. My understanding is that

Hi everyone, I have been a member of this forum for several years and learned more here than I ever did from doctors. A brief history: DX 1/2016. ADT ( Decapeptyl) but PSA started rising 2019 but scans showed only 1 bone met. PSA 25 then Zytiga + pred 4/2020, over 3 months PSA down to 14 and it has

Hello TTC community!! Wanted to update those that need a positive story to keep them going. We just had our anatomy scan on Sat (22weeks and 6 days). All looks well except for a low lying placenta... could mean C section but hopefully it will move up in 3rd trimester. Baby boy was eating amniotic fluid

Hi loves me again would just like to here some stories on elective c section I'm booked in for the 5th feb and really want some positive stories this will be my last baby so really need a good final experience compared to my previous 3 births which were awful. Reason for c sec for me is more an element

Hi, since having a Caesarean section 24 years ago, I have suffered from painful adhesions.

Hi there I know some of you may be recognising me and my posts lately but I've had a lot of support on here and you have been more help than you can imagine and I thank each and everyone that has supported me on here. I'm booked in for an elective c section in two weeks 5 days but have said if she tries

I’ve had severe constipation since my c-section 7th October where i could only go if taking a glycerin suppository first. I started movicol 4 days ago, 2 days ago nothing had happened but really needed to go so did a suppository aswel and ended up with a huge clear out! I continued with the movicol 2

I've been having a lot of thought about c section in particulary the stigma around it I have 4 weeks left and I've been second thinking what type of birth to have I was told originally that I have to have a c sec .I've currently had 2 c sec and a natural birth both were classed as emergencies but after

Hi all, so a bit of unexpected news and definitely not in my future plans but here I am 11 weeks and counting 😊! After speaking to work colleagues, friends, family and doing a bit of Googling the thought of having a vaginal birth absolutely terrifies me - the story of hack jobs to your nuni, the unknowing
