Not had my period back yet, however I’m 5 weeks pp and my bleeding has now stopped, it has for a few days, so when my period returns I’ll know it’s that. I know for some the period sort of follows straight on from the pp bleeding so may not always be obvious but by the time your period returns, your pp bleeding should be at little to none anyway and definitely not bright or dark red anymore, where as period would be xx

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?

Reduced Movements

Has anyone else gone in for monitoring for reduced movements and as soon as you arrive at triage the baby starts moving and the CTG is normal? It makes me feel like I am over reacting.

Newborn stage

Is anyone tired of doing the same thing everyday and being on a 2-3 hour schedule? It’s the same everyday and I feel like I’m losing my mind. It’s making me depressed even if I get out once a day. When does it get better? I feel like I’m just waiting for the next stage where it’s not just sitting around all day.
