Peeing

Anyone else struggling to pee unless they stand up slightly to pee, I can’t sitting down I have to stand slightly as the pressure down below is too much and stops the flow 🙈 I also feel like there’s a bowling ball in my vagina when I stand up in the mornings from lying down 😂 (this is my second baby) however I don’t remember feeling this way until very much near the end in my last pregnancy.

Not quite to that extent but I do have the urge to pee, sit down and then have to try really hard to get it out. A bit of wiggling to release the pressure haha.

Usually caused by baby's head pressing below your bladder 🫠😂 xx

I lean forward while peeing and stretch tall to give the bladder a bit more space to fully empty 🙂

I don’t remember feeling this way at this stage so it is scaring me a bit, I have just gone for a walk on holiday and I have to keep stopping and sitting down as the pressure is unbearable.

When I sit down the pressure does ease off again until I’m walking 10-20 mins again. I have been ok up until now.

No idea how I’m going to go back to work as I work such a physical job driving floor machines, climbing stairs walking miles 😂🙈🤔

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.

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.

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.

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!
