I am almost 29 weeks pregnant with my second, my first is 11 months old so there will be 13.5 months between my two. So far pregnancy has had no complications, I am high risk and monitored closely due to my son being born premature last year but no complications or worries from the pregnancies being so close together. My first birth was an emergency c section at 32 weeks and opted for an elective c section this time around however they were more than happy to let me go for a VBAC if I decided that. Hope this helps and congrats!

I had 2 pregnancies back to back, I fell pregnant with my 2nd when my 1st was 6 weeks old. My daughter was born when my son was 10 months old. Both were C Section babies!

Happy to answer any questions you might have, I know my head was swimming when I found out!

Currently 32 weeks pregnant with a 11 month old! High risk pregnancy now being monitored heavily. Planned c section at 39 weeks unless something happens

omg okay I feel like this is what I needed to hear!! Thank youuu! ❤️🫶🏽

Day out after c section

Hey,
I had an emergency c section 1 week ago I obviously don't want a day out right now but I have things booked for the Easter holidays so in 2 weeks. I was just wondering if I will be overdoing it if I have a day out then or will I be ok? I would still take it as easy as I could. When did everyone feel good enough to go out?

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

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?

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!

Invited to a chuckie cheese party but I don't have money and don't want to tell my daughter that's why we can't go. Does anyone know how their parties work?

I'm not sure how chuckie cheese parties are. If they give you money to play or not if you're in the party. And then I'm wondering if it's an actual birthday party or if they're just going to chuckie cheese. Some guy in my building told me a couple weeks ago that his son's birthday is today and he's thinking of doing chuckie cheese. They sent an invite but I feel so insecure not being able to afford anything. Like if they don't have food for example. Idk what to do.
