Early baby!

So my November 8th baby decided that was too far away and made his appearance October 6th at 1:14pm. He is 35 weeks, 6lb 12oz and 19.5” long. It’s been a LONG two days, delivery was traumatic and now he’s in the nicu but we’re hopeful. He’s healthier than ever!

Ladies! If you feel trickling that won’t stop that turns into lots of liquid GO. TO. THE. HOSPITAL. I waited because I originally had no idea what was happening and it turned out my water had ruptured and I was slow leaking for two days. this can cause infection and make your little one have a harder time on earth side.

Awww happy bday to your baby and i hope your healing goes well 🥰💕 did the leaking seem like normal discharge?

not at all, It started out as trickle which I thought was just me peeing a little cause he really liked to sit and kick my bladder but when I realized it wouldn’t stop and the next day i’m running through 4 pairs of underwear that It was serious

Wow i really would have assumed it was pee too. Thankful baby’s healthy and getting the care he needs. Get some rest while you can mama!! Congratulations! 🎊🥰

Pregnancy after c section

What time scale did everyone get pregnant again after a c section?
I know the doc said they recommend eating at least a year to 18 months but it took 4 years to get pregnant the first time after being told we could not conceive naturally so not wanting to stop it happening knowing it could take a very long time again but also worried.

Hospital bag (UK)

What did everyone pack for their section? I'm staying in for 3 days due to mental health, not really sure what I'll need to bring, feeling very nervous. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

Pregnancy nose 😭🤣
