Bad back pain š©
Coming up to 21 weeks and my back pain is so painful, I have to lay on the floor flat and even though my hot water bottle does help, it sure as heck wonāt forever nor in the summer when itās warmer. Any tips or tricks would be highly helpfulš

Spontaneous birth
I'm sitting in maternity triage and feeling so upset. Ive had no high blood pressure throughout my pregnancy and now it's high and if there is also protein in my urine it's recommend I have a induction at 39 weeks.i had induction with my first birth and it's something I really did not want. I'm 38 weeks at the moment. Does anyone have any good induction stories or anything to recommend that will help me š

praying youāre all active right nowšPLEASE ANSWER if you see this!
Iām 37 weeks today (itās 1:28am) and Iām having reduced movement. I usually feel baby going crazy at this time but heās not moving much or at all right now. he is usually active between 12-4am. do I wait a little longer or should I ring triage and go in??
everytime Iāve gone in for reduced movement, baby has been PERFECTLY fine. In fact he starts kicking the second i get there. Iām also having a perfect pregnancy, there is no health issues or complications. I feel like this is important information to add as it explains why Iām worrying but not toooo much. Iām sure everything is fine but what do you think?
Should I wait or go in?

Any recommendations/tips for c-section prep and recovery
Hi everyone, I'm a first time mum and currently 36+5.
Went for a growth scan the other day (first scan I've had since 20 weeks) and even though growth is fine I found out my baby is breech despite being told she's head down at every appointment since 28 weeks.
I've opted for a planned C-section as I didn't like the risks with the ECV and the doctor said it's unlikely she'll move herself since it's my first pregnancy.
I'm fine with the idea of changing my birth plan from a natural birth but I'm a bit late to the party of researching post partum stuff for a C-section and anything I should be doing to prepare before hand or things I need to take to the hospital that would be useful specifically for a C-section.
If anyone has any advice, I would very much appreciate it as this change of plan means I'm only 2 weeks away from meeting my baby which is quite scary and I'd planned post partum for a natural birth š
