40 weeks pregnant - Spotting

Last night I was up frequently to wee and noticed pinpricks of blood on the tissue, literally like one or two spots. I put on a pad and woke up and there’s another pinprick size amount. Anyone had this before? i don’t have a UTI or anything.

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 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.
