Biggest Fear....

I'm scared to go to sleep at night because idk if my stress is gnna take me out of here. I dreamed of what it would be like for my son to come to me in the morning and I didn't wake up. And it's just us. Nobody would look for me for a few days. He'd be alone 😔 🥺

Have you tried magnesium? It help with stress sleep anxiety etc the body needs time to recalibrate and the less we have it the more the mind tricks us

Are you in your first year postpartum? Sounds like it could be PPA, I struggled really bad with it. Rest is so important because lack of sleep can intensify your anxiety symptoms , but anxiety also makes it hard to sleep. Consider reaching out to your health provider, that’s the one thing I wish I did was take my symptoms more seriously while I was going through it.

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.

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.
