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.

Infected c-section site and cold
I’m concerned as I’ve been on antibiotics for an infected c-section site. But have gotten a cold/flu like symptoms now (cough, sore throat, runny nose and headache). Having googled (worst thing I know) it says it could be possible sepsis, I have an appointment Tuesday for a review of previous antibiotics given. Would it be recommend to call maternity unit due to gp being closed over the weekend or do I wait till Monday to see if I can get an appointment then instead of Tuesday.
Any advice would be appreciated

Flying pregnant
I’ve just found out I’m pregnant just over 4 weeks I go away at the beginning of November I’ll be roughly 10-11 weeks I won’t have had a scan yet (unlikely) I’m not even sure if I will have had my first midwife appointment by then🤔 am I still okay to fly? It’s a 4 hour flight.
Should I get a private scan to confirm everything is okay before hand?

Going into labour
Is there anything that actually works to try and go into labour?
I'm willing to give things a go as I'm so fed up now 😂 aiming for a vbac so trying to avoid c section if I can 🤞🏻 but have agreed to section if I get to due date and nothing has happened 🙈

Birth partner
Has anybody else not taken their husband /wife /partner with them when they went into labour? My husband came with me the first time but I’m genuinely thinking of taking my mum this second time around she hasn’t asked me to or knows that I want her to maybe come. I just feel like my partner isn’t reliable enough for me to get in touch with him all. Maybe it’s done it once don’t need to do it again situation I don’t know but I thought it was normal to take your partner but maybe not for everybody?

Ultrasound
I’m pregnant with my 2nd baby. I just received first ultrasound results. And they put in the results that I have a small fibroid , small cystic lesion and a small subchorionic hematoma. Was wondering if anyone experienced any of those things? I’ve been having a lot of cramping too - wondering if one of these things are causing it 😭

Waters have broken - me again
Ive been told i’ll be contacted within 12 hours to go to hospital for them to check things over as ive got no contractions or anything. My chosen hospital is also full which means i’d have to go further away if i do start contractions now. How long after your waters breaking did your contractions start? This is my second baby but waters never broke with my first
