How was yours?
Mine is pretty painful. I can really feel my scar a lot like after the csection. I’m also incredibly bloated.

Hi you all, I was wondering if anyone is maybe experiencing something similar. I have pretty bad tinnitus since I am a teenager and I also have sleep issues. Which means that I often wake up still seeing things and hearing things.
Does anyone by any chance experience that same thing and know if it’s tinnitus related? I’m 33 and female. Not sure if that’s important.

Hi! I wanted to ask if anyone else has had this experience. I had a csection 6 months ago and was completely pain free after a month. I then started to work out again which was a lot of walking, some running, matt pilates, etc. I know went to my first pilates class again and immediately started with intense lower abs workout. A lot of planks, planks to pike, army crawls, etc. I immediately felt a kind of tearing pain at my incision and sat a lot of the exercises out. I was in some pain the next to days but it went away and I only felt sore on my right a couple cm above the incision. I have now worked out again and it’s again painful whenever I do anything lower abs related. I thought it was going away but I crunched up from the sofa with my 19 pound baby in my arms and it hurt a lot again. But again no pain unless I use my lower abs. Is this normal?

Hey everyone.
I’m not exactly sure who I can reach out to in regards of this and I’d just love to run this buy you guys and hear your opinions about it.

My husband is originally from the US and I am from Germany. We are currently residing in the US with our newborn son. Due to me wanting to be closer to family (less than a 12 hour flight away) we would like to move back to Europe in the next couple of years and I’m over everything that’s happening here. My husband is the main bread winner and I’m currently not working. His work is paying him very well and he absolutely loves his job and has great career opportunities within the company. That’s why we would not be able to move back to Germany because they do not have an office there. They would only allow the UK and he could work remotely from anywhere. They would sponsor the visa and help with everything.
Due to that we have been traveling to the UK a bunch over the last years to check out different places and really fell in love with Oxford and Oxfordshire overall.
We are both very outdoorsy people and love nature that’s why we wouldn’t move directly into Oxford but adjacent to it. Preferably a house with a backyard so we can get a dog in the future.
I wanted to ask:

1. What do you think would be a salary that is needed for a comfortable life?
2. How is it for small kids to grow up there?
3. Is it going to be hard being immigrants and are people more anti immigrants overall?
4. Is it possible to make friends if you really try?

I’m pretty worried about being isolated because we do not know anyone there so far. But it would be the only option to be closer to my family and keep my husband’s job.

Thank you! I really appreciate your opinions!
Also wanted to add that we are definitely not maga!!!!!!

I have been wondering if anyone else experiences this. Basically I’m falling asleep and it feels like I’m dreaming something for a second and then I’m wide awake again and I know I was thinking/dreaming about something but I can’t remeber it at all or only fragments.

Hi guys, I had my first pilates class after my csection today. I’m 6 months out and have been pretty active but that class was a lot because we mainly did lower abs like planks, planks to pike etc. I’m now having some pain behind my incision and am a bit nervous about it. Did you feel the same?

I know this is very individual but would just be interested :)

I don’t even know why I’m getting sad about this every time.
My husband had to go on a short day trip the other week. It was a 10 hour round trip drive that he did but he was gone the whole day. It was the first time being completely alone with my baby and him being this far away. I am pretty nervous about these things because I do not have any family in the state we live in and only
close friends. And I’m always worried about an emergency. My Mil wants to be so involved which I’m not even sure if it’s just a fantasy of her because she can’t have it. But anyway. I kind of was waiting for a text like: Call us if you need anything.
But nothing. No help or anything offered. I mean I would only need it in an emergency but it would be nice to know. And it’s not even about me. It’s also abouy her grandson.
I just don’t understand how you can care this much about your son but not really give a shit about you daughter in law and then with that about your grandchild.
I’m not even sure why it makes me sad. We have a bad relationship and don’t get along. I have no idea how I expect this stuff after nearly 9 hears of not being close and still get sad about it if I know exactly how she is. God damn it. She only checked on me a hand full of times during my pregnancy and never really after my c section. Or asked once during postpartum how I was doing. Of course there were group text like: How are you all doing. But not ever reaching out to me directly.
But her wish would be to super involved with baby.
I could kick myself for having any expectations.

Just thinking about this. What do you do if you have a baby and your husband also wants to come to the appointment? We don’t do daycare nor have anyone who could watch him. Do you just bring them?

Not having a second one or planning one currently. Just curious.

I feel like whenever people hear about safety rules that they don’t like or didn’t think of they throw the word anxious at me. And I just don’t get it. It kind of feels like an insult. And it’s rules that are not even extreme: don’t kiss the baby, don’t let the baby unsupervised with dogs, don’t let the baby unsupervised outside in a playpen, check that there’s nothing he can choke on on the floor if you sit him down etc.
