I kinda feel like I have a UTI / thrush starting? Something is sore but I can’t work it out!! Hahahaha. My body is just falling apart at this point 😂

Nearly 40 weeks 🥴& yes normal!

I use a wet cold flannel - just pat it gently which can help. Also more rest - lying horizontal or feet upright..

I think the swelling is worse if on feet or sitting for a long time - the uterus puts pressure on other structures causing more swelling

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!
