Fibroid surgery

Hello I recently just had my fibroid successfully removed literally 3 days ago, still in a lot of pain but manageable i’m off work for a few weeks so i’m going to use this time to heal any advice or anything to expect? I also recently suffered a miscarriage back in August.. still unsure what the case may have been but leaning more towards the fibroid considering the one they just removed was bigger than my uterus & so close to one another they were practically married lol I know i’m not supposed to try again for about 3-6 months but anything i should do to prepare my body for & also things I should eat shouldn’t eat any type of diets, exercise, sleep habits u name it just to prevent from any more coming back! Also happy new year!

i really want another baby

i am merely a few months pp but i want another baby, but i am scared of the age gap (2 under 2) and also with everything going on in the world i just think its not the best idea at the moment but i am having crazy baby fever and miss having a newborn🥹

C section or natural?

I am a control freak and thinking c section is the least stressful route for me and baby… less complications during labour etc. whilst acknowledging recovering can be hard.
If it could be guaranteed no tearing or complications then I would opt for natural and kind of want to experience the feeling.
Then again could plan and go either way 😂 arghh!
Anyone else in this predicament?

Period like cramps

Hi
I’m currently 33 weeks pregnant and I keep getting period like cramps I thought these were Brixton hicks but I’ve heard they only last 30 seconds ish as this can go on for a good time frame then go away and come back, they aren’t bad enough where I can’t do basic things they just feel like I’m about to get my period I’m jus wondering how normal this is? Baby is still very actively kicking xx

Midwife check

Can someone remind me when the midwife visits you at home? Is it the day after you’re discharged? And is that the same on the weekend or do they not visit then? Thanks!
