Hey all 👋🏼 ( ps. I am really not fussed if you can’t wear make-up!) It’s just a query I had 🤔 As I’ve seen lots of people previously that have had ‘elective’ c section With false nails, lashes, make-on you name it! 😅 It is something I’m really not fussed on myself, just curious to know if you can or not …
I am currently 21+4 weeks pregnant, today I was doing dishes and the baby moved into a super painful position (where my fingers are in the photo). I couldn’t stand up straight, had to go to our bed on my hands and knees, my fiancé said he could feel the baby there. After light rotations the pain went and the baby mo...

I’m so worried about being being pregnant so close to last c section. Just for reference I’m not sure if I am as of yet but the test I did today had a very faint shadow on it which is how my pregnancy tests started before when I was pregnant!!!
