Recovery after PLANNED C-section
What have your experiences been like of planned c-sections? I know recovery is supposed to last 6 weeks but I keep hearing different experiences. I have a few questions: Was the father allowed to be present during the surgery to see the baby born? How soon after could you hold your baby? How soon did

Husband in intensive care
I only joined this site about a month ago. My husband was gradually becoming unwell over a period of months last year. Trying to seek help from GP was very frustrating and also not being seen physically due to restrictions, anyway this resulted in him being admitted to hospital in late November as bloods

Are folks still getting their “routine” 6 monthly monitoring blood tests and US scans?

How worried should I be?
My little grandson and granddaughter have both tested positive this afternoon for covid. I have been with them today. I was diagnosed with cirrhosis 2 years ago to this month. I was in hospital for 6 weeks and nearly died. I haven't drank alcohol since then. Covid is going around our area like wildfire
