Anyone given birth yet??

Hi everyone. I was due in the 13th September but baby didn’t want to come into this world until the 21 September by c section. I ended up having a 12lb 1 oz (5.5kg) baby as my first baby. A little bigger than I was expecting 😂😂Anyone else given birth yet? How are you all doing with your recovery and sleep?

Wowzer well done Mama! I gave birth on the 4th also by c section at 39 weeks. Recovery of C section has been alot better and easier than I thought it would be!

I gave birth on the 15th via C-section too. To a 4.8kg baby 😉
How is your recovery going?

He is my 2nd and feels like it's much easier this time around!

Congratulations! I was also the 21st and had a c section☺️

Help

I was getting pretty painful period cramps and during those, I had painful lower back cramps. I had these on and off for like a few hours so from about 10:30pm to 1am?

I’ve had no show, or anything like that.

Is this braxton hicks or early labour pains?

Little girl turning herself sideways in next to me

My little girl tonight, has spun herself so she is lying sideways in her next to me, making me panic!

Is this normal at 4.5 months, do I just lie her back normally/vertically?

Labour??

I’ve had on/off mild period cramps since 9 last night, very irregular and very mild, but I just had one that woke me up. My waters haven’t gone and nor has my mucous plug… but could this be a sign that it’s close?! I’m 40+3 and desperate to meet her!

Caffeine addiction suuucks. (Coffee)

I'm off of literally everything. Don't smoke, no medicine, don't drink except VERY rare occasion, nothing. I drink a large coffee everyday (usually mcdonalds or 7 brew)... or a couple cups of coffee at home if I don't get out. Today I had neither and I was OUT FOR THE COUNT. Awful headache, no motivation, throwing up. Then I drink coffee and it's instantly better. 🙃 coffee is one hell of a drug I tell ya.
