With my first I was feeing kicks regularly. With this one nothing. Should I be concerned?
Usually second babies can be felt earlier…

Have they said where your placenta is placed?

I’d say call the OB. They’ll never get mad at you for coming in if you’re concerned. And they can find out what’s going on if anything and ease your mind or answer questions.

I have anterior placenta but so was my first…

When in doubt call ob. Also I do and don't suggest an at home doppler. I check mine weekly only because I have a history of miscarriage. I always have a hard time finding mine, but my husband is a pro. So if you are like me and freak out for every little thing, just beware. But it might give you peace of mind so you can play with it and find your baby's heartbeat. We were finding our baby's heartbeat as early as 8 weeks on the Doppler at home. You can get one pretty cheap on Amazon.

Ask your OB
It’s a boy 🎉 so excited

Hi all,
Little ones cord fell off last night, today it looks like she has a little stump. Does anyone know what this could be?
Midwife is due to come out tomorrow so will ask her but intrigued in the meantime to see what you all think

Is anyone else in a similar situation and just absolutely winging it at this point? 😭😂
I have an 8½ month old who has decided that sleep is completely optional. She barely naps during the day and is waking constantly through the night, sometimes staying awake for hours. She’s absolutely exhausted but will fight sleep with everything in her tiny body 😭 I’m trying everything and honestly I’m at the point where I don’t even know what to do anymore.
On top of that, I’ve got quite a few health issues that have been really kicking my arse lately and making it difficult to function normally. And now I’m pregnant again on top of all of it 🥲 I’m exhausted, constantly struggling to keep up with everything, and some days I genuinely feel like I’m barely keeping my head above water.
I love my wee girl more than anything and I know this is just a season, but I’m so physically and mentally drained. I feel like I’m constantly trying to look after everyone while having absolutely nothing left in the tank myself.
I know there probably isn’t a magic answer or much advice anyone can give, but I think I’d feel so much better just knowing I’m not the only one in this boat. ❤️
Are there any other mums who are dealing with awful sleep, pregnancy, health problems, or just generally feeling like they’re struggling to function? How are you coping? 😭

I’m having a c section next week and am hoping dad can stay overnight with me. My last baby was in 2022 so it was still a bit ‘covidy’ and he could only stay with me during visitor hours. It was a nightmare as I was in so much pain and could barely move to get to my baby and when I pressed the button for a midwife it took over half an hour for someone to come. I am giving birth at the JR Oxford.

I had a c section 6 weeks ago Monday and am bottle feeding. All bleeding had stopped, just had pads for some small mucus discharge.
I got my period back at 5 weeks and 6 days.
Now I’m debating if it is a period. I’m 5 days in and it is shocking - it’s so heavy I’m wearing night pads in the day and postpartum pants overnight. Doesn’t appear to be letting up.
Has anyone else had this?
I was silly and googled, half responses are that it’s normal to have a heavy period and other half mentions postpartum haemorrhage 😭
I don’t want to go the the Gp as they’ll ask me to go to the hospital which is an hour away and I have no support for my 3 year old and 6 week old
