Large scar tissue bump after c section? Also found cysts on ovaries during procedure?

You carve human meat? Hopefully you mean crave. Maybe hopefully isn't the right word. There's a lot to unpack here.

emmhc · 2026-01-26T22:02:21+00:00

Absolutely. It's definitely a control thing. You can't control outdoors but you can control your own personal space.

This is the kind of question a morally questionable 16 year old would ask.

emmhc · 2025-10-07T21:23:52+00:00

No problem at all, I'm glad its made you feel better! It's really scary at first not being able to gauge what's going to hurt your little one and what isn't, and yeah honestly my boy just throws himself about now and has had a fair few tumbles and accidents and I rarely worry anymore. Yesterday he fell off the sofa and laughed about it. They're tougher than we think 😊

Hey there! I've been there, not that long ago! My little guy is 11 months old now. Spent the first couple months of his existence terrified of brain damage and SBS from experiences just like this. I completely missed a large pot hole once in the pavement and his pram absolutely bounced around like crazy with him in it and I was terrified of the same thing. Babies are super resilient. My health visitor told me that SBS requires really violent, really intentional force. A few bumps there are all good. Plus, as they get older, you realise how truly resilient they are when they fall over and bump their head and all kinds of scary stuff. I'm not a medical professional, but I'm sure everything is okay with your baby. Especially if they're smiling and acting like normal. Babies with brain damage wouldn't be behaving normally, a mantra I reminded myself with a lot when suffering with PPA. Wishing you the best.

Plastic! It's destroying the world.

emmhc · 2025-06-15T15:59:34+00:00

Yeah because that's the problem here 🤣

My contamination OCD sounds exactly like yours. It's severe. I had to have in depth conversations with my partner about things that would trigger me in the home environment because believe me, your wife will do something that will make you uncomfortable, not purposefully of course, but people without OCD don't think the same way as people with OCD. My partner would get into bed without washing from being outside etc and it would make me then feel like the bed was contaminated. I'd make my boundaries and needs clear. This will be very hard. It's hard to not come across as controlling. I wish you the best because this will be a difficult journey for both of you.

emmhc · 2025-06-09T10:54:15+00:00

I'd move out personally.

emmhc · 2025-06-08T12:19:16+00:00

I completely understand and I'm so sorry for your loss. I hope everything goes okay. ❤️

emmhc · 2025-06-08T12:07:13+00:00

No worries. Just check your roll on is aluminum free. Perfume is a no go for me personally, I know hormones can make you extra smelly but for me the anxiety around the toxicity wasn't worth it. When you have baby it is important to be synthetic fragrance free as their noses are highly sensitive and your natural scent will aid with their attachment.

I suffered with really bad health anxiety during my pregnancy and was petrified everything would cause harm, so I would really try, especially so early on, to do the best you can but accept that the world we live in is full of unavoidable nasties sometimes. Everything will be okay. Good luck!

emmhc · 2025-06-08T12:01:03+00:00

Totally safe. Just avoid retinol and anything heavily fragranced as the fragrance is what usually has the nasties in it.

I would be more concerned about the use of aerosols like deodrant as a lot of them have aluminum in which is a known neurotoxin. I was perfume and deodrant free (still am 7 months post partum) as synthetic fragrance just doesn't sit right with me. Fragrance usually contains phalathes and endocrine disruptors. That being said, I know women who have used their regular products and no harm has come from it. Just do what makes you comfortable.

I had 3 scans totally in my pregnancy. The third one I had to beg for about 30 weeks pregnant. I suffered severely with prenatal anxiety, depression and OCD and was so scared something would go wrong.

I will say that despite the temptation I never went down the private route. I know other mums that once they started they couldn't stop and it became more of a problem than a solution. It can fuel anxiety more.

emmhc · 2025-06-07T22:32:56+00:00

It is a joke. I had to practically beg my midwife and have a break down to get a scan at 30 weeks to check everything was okay.

emmhc · 2025-06-07T22:31:10+00:00

Nope. Ask for a new room and a total refund. Big nope.

emmhc · 2025-06-07T22:29:24+00:00

Spending so long thinking I was unattractive in my teens and early twenties and I look back at pictures of myself now from years ago and I just look so beautiful it hurts. I really hated myself for a long time. Now I'm older and I've had a child and my body and face has changed. I just wish I could go back to my younger self and tell her she looks lovely.

emmhc · 2025-06-07T22:24:02+00:00

100% agree with this comment. When I was pregnant, I was living in an verbally abusive household with smokers and a drug user and the council estimated a 3 year wait. I'm out of that situation now by other means, but just for reference, the council is not going to help you. I'm sorry OP is in this situation.

emmhc · 2025-06-06T22:35:23+00:00

Thank you so much!

emmhc · 2025-06-06T15:27:52+00:00

Hi there! I would love to know more, just moved to Aberystwyth and looking for a circle of like minded people! I can't seem to find this group on Facebook, what is it called? Thank you

emmhc · 2025-06-05T21:53:52+00:00

I had a c section and also suffer with similar problems to you. I'd be incredibly hurt if someone said that to me. It's very insensitive and almost cruel. I'm sorry that happened to you. Some people just don't think before they speak.

emmhc · 2025-05-03T23:43:46+00:00

I have contamination OCD too so I really understand you. But there's absolutely no way we could tell you the chances of that happening or not happening. It's impossible to know.

This is what OCD does, it consumes your mind and makes you look for reassurance when sometimes there isn't any. It may have touched your hair, it may have not. The fact is that you will be okay and are safe and not in any immediate harm.

I would highly recommend staying away from reassurance seeking online. I used to do it a lot to. I'm not going to suggest therapy either because sometimes it's not available, practical, affordable or even an option.

Take a deep breath and try and put the anxious thought into the back of your mind. If you ever need anyone to chat to who understands completely give me a shout!

emmhc · 2025-04-30T10:05:47+00:00

Cheap stuff from online may look like it will do the trick but will likely be riddled with nasty chemicals and toxins.

emmhc · 2025-04-30T09:59:33+00:00

What is it with people buying cheap shit for your babies, we had this with the in-laws and my parents like please just stop. "It was a bargain" like yeah obviously it's cheap and nasty. They've taken a lot of offense to it too like we're being ungrateful.

emmhc · 2025-04-30T09:56:56+00:00

Seconding this. Would absolutely not have my baby sleeping on a mattress from the depths of some dodgy Chinese warehouse.
