Going back to work

Has anyone gone back to work yet? Or going back in the next month?
I literally feel sick about it and this is my second and last baby!! She’s still waking 3/4 times in the night as well as a 5/5:30 wake up and I’m worried how I’m going to function at work.

I'm going back to work next month too, we also wake at 5:30 for the day and I start work at 5am🫠 I'm hoping for some miracle with sleep in the next month x

I've been back since January, it is rough. She used to sleep through now she is up at least 2 times a night. Caffeine is your friend

Im back at work but i work in a nursery so I’ll be off with them through the holiday! Routine is out of wack for LO and only has half hour naps through the day at nursery and it’s a challenge but you adapt and get through it!
It’s exhausting so please get support wherever you can! Also I second caffeine! Our LO is also up a lot in the night and up at 4 every day so I feel for you in that way too 😴

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.

Labour

Think im a bit confused really, i went into traige as was having contractions eveey 3-5mins. Since being here im now having them every 2-3mins which was confirmed with the machine and i think the toco was 90-100 and they feel painful and my lower back is in loads of pain but apparently im only just over 2cm dilated maybe, she has said i can stay here for a bit longer to see if things progress as had a previous quick birth as well but i dont understand why the pains are coming this quick if im only 2cm dilated and feel a bit deflated from it also.

I had a sweep this morning also.
