@ScrantonDunderMifflin I think that’s a rarity, it’s something I have only vaguely heard once before, maybe in a long Google search. It’s never been spoken to me about by a midwife or consultant, before or after my CS! I have heard more about CS scars being a concern during pregnancy because of potential rupture, but again I think this is a rarity. Think of all those women who have multiple CSs! Katie Price has had four on the trot (random fact there lol)

ScrantonDunderMifflin · 12/02/2023 20:15

@LuckyMoonstone yeah I know people who had 2-3 and all is well! I'm really bad at asking for things but I'll maybe ask my midwife about this, next time I see her 🙈

LuckyMoonstone · 12/02/2023 20:16

@ScrantonDunderMifflin midwives are there to be bothered with all the crazy questions 😂

ScrantonDunderMifflin · 12/02/2023 20:21

@LuckyMoonstone yeah I'm happy to ask her about c section but scared to ask for it if that makes sense 😂 thinking among the lines of 'it will create extra work for other staff etc etc'.
Will have to have a serious think about it 😂

A very random realisation - has anyone ever seen a male midwife? 😮 I don't know of any but there must be at least a few in the country, I'd imagine!

LuckyMoonstone · 12/02/2023 20:38

@ScrantonDunderMifflin yes there was a trainee male midwife at one of my late midwife appointments with DS! First and only time seeing one.

TheBirdintheCave · 12/02/2023 21:44

I had a male sonographer for my 20 week scan with G but I've not see a male midwife in the wild.

calimc83 · 12/02/2023 21:48

@TheBirdintheCave in the wild! 😆😆😆😆 that made me laugh x

bunnykins123 · 13/02/2023 08:24

@TheBirdintheCave good point, me either. I don't think even with DD I ever had a male midwife. I don't think a heavy flow means much in terms of your next cycle. It's all down to hormones each month!

@MrsJGrealish sorry if I missed this, but did you retest today? I hope you're feeling a bit better today 💕 sodding covid!

@FfoxRedN thank you lovely!

@calimc83 I can't believe your almost 35 weeks! It feels like that's gone so quickly although I'm sure it's felt like a lifetime! I'll have a think today about nipt, on the one hand I'm keen but on the other I feel like it's a lot of money but I think it'll be nice to have the extra reassurance. Oh I totally would opt in for the sex 😂 LOL @ Alan titchmarsh being your crush! I will also be getting a c section - 52 hrs of labour back to back - no thank you!

TheBirdintheCave · 13/02/2023 08:48

Wahoo CD4 and my AF is finally back to a normal flow so hopefully it should be over soon 😬

bringmearainbow · 13/02/2023 10:40

Morning ladies sorry was so busy I didn't catch up with messages yesterday hopefully I didn't miss anything exciting 🫣looks like AF might be tailing off today which is good because 2/3 days of AF is about normal for me and honestly I can't be arsed with the amount of bleeding I've done the past couple of months to have a long AF 😂 so that's cheered up my Monday

bringmearainbow · 13/02/2023 10:41

@TheBirdintheCave glad yours has settled lovely was it bad?

TheBirdintheCave · 13/02/2023 11:03

@bringmearainbow Yeah it was basically that scene from Carrie for two days 😂 I'm ridiculously dizzy today which is not fun but I'll take that over crazy bleeding.

bringmearainbow · 13/02/2023 11:23

@TheBirdintheCave lol oh no 🙈 glad it's settled dizzy doesn't sound great though 😩 we can never win can we!

So I've made a plan for dtd DH doesn't know it yet I'm going to have to get some seduction on I think I don't like to tell him when a good time is just incase 😂 I'm going for CD9,11,13&15 he goes early hours CD16. I don't think I'll get a 14 in he will be too busy getting everything done. And then I just have to pray that I O CD16 or 17 at the most 🙏🏼 if not we've got a wasted cycle 🙄

TheBirdintheCave · 13/02/2023 11:32

@bringmearainbow That sounds like an excellent plan. I hope O comes in time!

MrsJGrealish · 13/02/2023 11:37

Hey girls, just did the FRER and the line is super faint like I know in myself it should be more if I'm due tomorrow. Also had wicked cramps last night, all gone now but I think AF will be here soon enough. I'll attach the pic. Xx

I don't actually feel to bad covid wise today so hoping I'm through the worst of it 🙏

TheBirdintheCave · 13/02/2023 11:47

What dpo are you now? @MrsJGrealish

MrsJGrealish · 13/02/2023 11:49

@TheBirdintheCave 13 xx

MrsJGrealish · 13/02/2023 11:50

@TheBirdintheCave no 12 I checked the app x

MrsJGrealish · 13/02/2023 12:16

@TheBirdintheCave I have literally one cycle left. Talk about pressure 😟 may get the fertilily out and practice 🙈
Sorry you're feeling dizzy. I've had that too with a heavy bleed and it's just awful 😞

bringmearainbow · 13/02/2023 12:19

@MrsJGrealish is that FMU? I don't think it's awful for 12dpo I've def seen lines worse than that for 12dpo and all was ok suppose the only thing to do is wait and see though 🙈 waiting is the worst bit 🙄 glad the covid seems to be disappearing ❤️

@TheBirdintheCave it better or I'm going to be so sulky this whole cycle 😂

TheBirdintheCave · 13/02/2023 12:25

@MrsJGrealish I went back to have a look at my photos and my FRER at 12dpo from last time was that faint. There's still hope for this one I think ❤️

MrsJGrealish · 13/02/2023 12:31

@bringmearainbow I love your plan! Good luck and I hope he plays along.. have to admit I've done this myself when my ovulation was more predictable. No more DTD than necessary 🤣 I'm ok with waiting I have nothing to do all week and DH is away. Though no excuses for revision 😕

LuckyMoonstone · 13/02/2023 12:35

@MrsJGrealish hmmmm I mean it’s not impossible to be faint at 12dpo and everything be ok… you might have only implanted 2 days ago for example.

MrsJGrealish · 13/02/2023 12:38

@LuckyMoonstone I have no pain after last night which I'm so happy about x I had a migraine strip on my head and a heat mat tucked into my knickers bet DH was thinking how lucky he is 😂

LuckyMoonstone · 13/02/2023 14:21

I feel weird today. Really emotional. I just want to cry at everything. I’m even more nervous about Thursdays scan than the last one. I just can’t shake off dread that it’ll be bad news 😔
