New mom here!

After losing my mucus this morning these have been my contractions does this mean anything??

to make it easier on you you should download an app called contraction timer, it has a blue logo and itll track the time of the contraction and how long it is between contractions because that’s important aswell. tracking them manually is very difficult to tell. watching the timings on the app you could tell moreso if theres a pattern to it or if they’re irregular!

As long as they not every 5 mins for 2 hours it’s just pre labor and the hospital won’t do anything I’ve been having contractions for a week and they won’t take me bc I’m still 1 cm dilated so now they gonna induce me on the 14th if I don’t have her natural since my body is not preparing right

they have started being 5 minutes apart and lasting 2 -3 minutes but the pain isn’t as bad as it was earlier

Idk all I know is that they want them to last for 2 hours straight every 5 mins I been to the hospital like 4 times dying in pain and they still won’t do anything

oh wow

My app told me when it was time to leave, although I was already on my way to the hospital

just try to follow the 5-1-1 rule if you can, 5 minutes apart, 1 min long for 1 hour and they would admit you!

Is this normal?

Is this little red bit on my section scar normal? It’s not oozing anything, doesn’t hurt but it’s the only bit on my scar like it so just curious! (19 days PP)
Thank you in advance! 🥰

Pregnant with baby 2

Hi everyone! I gave birth via emergency c section 9 months ago as my baby boy was measuring big, he pooped inside so there was risk of him inhaling it and I wasn’t progressing past 3cm to have a natural birth and now I’m currently 20 weeks pregnant with my 2nd baby. I’m having a consultation on Tuesday to talk about birth options and to have any questions answered but I don’t know what to ask. I feel like it would be safer having a c section again but at the same time I don’t want a c section. Does anyone have any question ideas I could ask or any advice/stories of similar situations. Tia

Anyone else felt like this?

Hi, I’m 4 months postpartum, little one sleeps through the night and is formula fed, the last week I’ve felt extremely tired and very hungry! Just wondered if anyone else has felt this way/experienced this?

Hey what are your current symptoms?

I’m 37+5

I’m pretty mobile still but anything over a hour or 2 and I’m in discomfort

Getting up from a sitting position is hard

Some of baby’s movements now are bordering on painful especially around my crotch/pelvis

I’m exhausted very easily and nap every single day

Can basically only breathe out my mouth now and I’m snoring and dribbling 😂

Standing in one leg is very painful 😂

Some waves of pain/ tightening but I regular and mild

Low period type aches

And I feel like a fire breathing dragon with this acid reflux

My nose is growing 😂

My fingers swell slightly and go numbs in my sleep so that and constant toilet breaks keep me up ( checked swelling with MW and consultant and all normal, not a worry)

I also do not want to be social in person like I’d rather everyone just be my penpal atm lol

What are your symptoms?

Planned c section

Has anyone had a planned c section and been home the same day?
