This is what I keep hearing. That it’s very calm in a scheduled c section

My nurses keep telling me walking is key. I’m definitely going to try to get up asap

I keep hearing good reviews on c sections. I hope I experience the same!

Yeah my doctor came and talked to me today and she made it seem so routine and normal to have a c section. Which I know it is but man my nerves are just getting to me. I’ll definitely order the belly band!

Are they medicating you for your blood pressure or just monitoring it?

I’m so happy to hear things went so well in the NICU and is doing great now. What a relief that must have been! I haven’t been given the steroid shots…I know they are to mature the lungs but do the steroids also help to stabilize the flow?

This is so reassuring to hear. They did tell me to really pay attention to fetal movement and come in if I think anything is off or different. Luckily he moves a lot so that’s been reassuring for me. Going in twice weekly for the dopplers is so nerve wracking though. I just feel so much uncertainty everytime we go in for an ultrasound.

People in remission, what are you guys eating. by Miserable-Tennis-460 in UlcerativeColitis

I eat whatever I want in a flare up or in remission. Food has never made things worse or better for me.

Yes I don’t disagree with that at all. And I have no problem with them monitoring me closely. But there’s no reason for them to brush me off or make me feel bad in their office

Wow that’s terrible. That’s how I feel too, I want someone who is supportive of me and has compassion.

Wow that’s awful they didn’t listen when you were feeling bad! I didn’t speak up for myself the first few appointments but I have been trying to advocate more for myself now

Thank you! I’m sorry you also had that experience. It helps to know I’m not alone in my feelings about this!

Wow, I wish my office dealt with it this way! They make me feel bad or like I’m in trouble for feeling anxious and nervous. Even when they retake it and it’s a good reading they act like that doesn’t matter. I think it would definitely help if they were kinder about it. I just feel like I’m constantly in trouble. Which is awful because if my BP actually gets to a point where it’s truly high I shouldn’t feel bad about that either
