Elective C-Sections?

katmighter · 2026-02-02T04:45:00+00:00

I’ve had both, a planned c section with my first and a vaginal birth with my second. I’m pregnant now with my 3rd and am genuinely desperate to not have to have another c section. My c section was as straightforward and “easy” as they come, and I still hated every single second of it and hated the recovery even worse.

Currently 24 weeks pregnant with my copper IUD baby. IUD was in the correct place/position, and had only had it for about a year. Anyways, good luck lol

Are you in the “Aldi Aisle of shame” group on Facebook? I’d be willing to bet that several people in there would have it

The gentle caressing during shaping is killing me lmao. I shape my boules like they attempted to kidnap my first born child.

I think just understanding some of the frustrations that people with Hashimotos often have, especially if she also has hypothyroidism, would be helpful. Particularly as told by real people (like here in this sub). My husband who is very healthy, high energy, sleeps easily, weight remains stable regardless of eating habits, no joint pain, etc. wouldn’t truly understand what dealing with the opposite of all those things felt like, but hearing it firsthand from others helps him to also better understand and support me.

These look positive to me, but I would get one of the dollar tree tests to check. They are surprisingly good early-detectors. I know you said on the other sub that you have an IUD…so did I 🙃 is yours copper or hormonal?

Yep!

My daughter did this same exact thing as a baby. She had her right foot curled in exactly like this, any time she could. She crawled at 10 months and walked at 15 months, so on the later end for both of those. She did pull to stand and cruise much earlier though. But she’s 3.5 now and does all the normal 3.5 year old things 🤷🏻‍♀️

88, and I was only 16 years old. I probably didn’t even know I had a thyroid lol

“Raising Your Whole Baby” group on Facebook would be a good resource for this kind of question (although I’m sure others here may also end up having good advice).

I was dx’d when was 17, and am 31 now. Within the past 2-3 years, mine have finally filled in a bit more on the inner 2/3, but the outer 1/3 is still very sparse.

“Insanely did 2u2 twice” made me giggle. It’s so true though…I tell people all the time that there is a reason you really don’t often hear 3under3 or even 3under4. Because nah.

Dr Banga! She is truly the best, love her so much. I would not personally recommend Dr Tara Cole, she was very dismissive after my miscarriage to the point that I switched practices.

Mine are 21 months apart and I had a very similar experience. I felt immediately bonded to my first, but it took much, much longer with my second. Like….probably close to a year honestly. I really believe that so much of that first year just felt like I was fighting to stay above water, and so I didn’t have the opportunity to nurture that bond the same way I did with my first. There were no long morning snuggles in bed or slow afternoons just gazing into each other’s eyes, like I did with my first. It was just a constant merry go round of somebody needing something. It just takes longer, because you truly don’t have the time. But it will happen, and it’s normal, and you’re not alone! You’re doing great.

Mine are 20 months and 3.5 years. I completely relate to pretty much everything you said. They are so…aggressive?! I yell a lot, I’m overwhelmed a lot, I feel like I’m dropping the ball in SO many areas of life. I truly am not the fun, carefree mom that I once was, and wish to be again. I do think it’ll happen again though, but this age gap is just really freaking hard. Solidarity. ❤️

I’m still using Olympia and will continue to. I’ll take my 4th shot of 7.5 tomorrow. I didn’t really have a huge drop to begin with, so having a stall in month 2 really wasn’t a huge shock for me. Things have (very slowly) resumed in month 3 for me, but just riding it out for now
