I am seven months postpartum after having an emergency classical C-section in mid December at 24 weeks due to IC and PPROM. We lost our baby boy after four days in the NICU. I have PCOS/PMOS and a history of irregular cycles but ever since having my baby I had been getting my period and confirmed ovulation every month. This past cycle, though, went back to my old PCOS ways and appeared to be anovulatory - I totally skipped my period, then went on to also not ovulate within the next thirty days. I expected my period around day 60 because in my temp tracking I had a steep dip so when my husband and I were intimate on my birthday I told him we didn’t need to stop and put on a condom (my fault). Instead of my period starting, my temp shot up high and the Oura ring confirmed ovulation on CD 61 (my birthday when we had unprotected sex). I’m obviously a little worried now that I’ll get pregnant! I know that some women have safely carried babies at 7 m post-classical c-section but my doctors recommended waiting 12 months to conceive. Can anyone share some courage with me?? On the one hand I’m terrified, on the other hand it took me 4 years (and fertility treatments) to conceive our son who we didn’t even get to keep earthside so it would be pretty miraculous!

I had a c-section in the last year. Before the surgery nobody ever told me anything about it. Why is that? I would ask what the spinal block is like, recovery, etc but no answer. Does anyone have a similar situation?

Hi everyone I'm almost 7 weeks postpartum from having twins at 33 weeks via C-section in which I lost 2.6 litres of blood and quite literally nearly died on the table.

I was okay the night after the op as meds made me feel okay, the next day I was a mess and I was kept in hospital for 4 days, had a catheter for two days then ended up readmitted a week later as I caught cellulitis/ sepsis from my multiple cannula ports on my left arm.

But good news is the twins got home two weeks ago after a NICU stay of 5 weeks and constantly going to see them daily, but yesterday Ive started getting bad stomach pain and even pain from my back end when sitting radiating into my stomach and my bleeding has restarted today after being stopped for two weeks now.

I'm exclusively breastfeeding and tbh having really rested at all, being lifting heavy thing much heavier than I should and walking fast and alot since about day 5 after the section.

But is this stomach pain common ? And the reoccurrence of the bleeding ? I've only seen a midwife once since I've been discharged from hospital so I don't know if I'm healing well

Had my baby via c section 9 weeks ago. I’ve tried to sleep on my stomach (like half on) but it feels weird. Like the other side is popping out. It’s just a weird sensation and I’m scared to lie completely flat on it.

Any one else the same? When did you sleep/began to lie flat on your stomach after a c section/ pregnancy?

How long did you really wait until picking up and holding your toddler? I had a c section 5 days ago and feel pretty good but my 2 year old (30lbs) is really struggling with me not being able to pick him up/hold him. Hes refusing all his naps and bedtime and I just wish I could help him at least go to sleep (2x a day). How long did you all actually wait until you picked up your toddlers?
