How soon after a C-section is it safe to get pregnant again? NHS seems to suggest 18 months but that seems like a long time if I want babies close together.. Any experience please? How did the birth go after? Another C or VBAC? Any issues with placenta or similar? Thank you!

Anyone have any heartburn recommendations??? I’ve been taking Tums but they don’t always help and I am struggling. My chest is on fire and it’s making me feel so sick. I have an appt next week but any tips in the meantime? 😭😭😭

Post a photo of your baby the day they were born and then post a photo of what they look like today!!! They grow so fast 😭 and develop such gorgeous individual little features so quickly!

My tummy's still a bit numb but it's wearing off. But I'm having pain if I touch or poke my stomach, around my belly button and below. Anyone else experienced this as the numbness wears off?

I'm 34+3 and started having sharp pain on the right side on my lower bump yesterday. Today I woke up feeling really nauseous, drowsy like I'd drank too much alcohol and the sharp pain plus pain along my lower bump. Triage told me to come in, on the CTG I was having contractions fairly consistently, some of them havi...

The first photo is from the 3rd of October 2024 and the bottom is today. Does anyone know why my line just isn't that strong today should I be worried 😫

Has anybody ever had 0 signs , unable to have a sweep done due to it being closed but then still go Into labour without induction?? I’m 40+5 now . They booked me in for induction on Monday but really 🤞🏻 he comes before! X

My sickness is worrying me. Whenever I am sick it’s mainly bile and burning as there’s nothing much on my stomach as I’m off foods (still managing toast) I’m worried about the burning and the fact I’m not eating well
