Uk based counselling post miscarriage

Hey, what options has anyone used in the UK for counselling post miscarriage. I had a second-trimester loss, and major blood loss event and think it would be worth me talking it though with a professional. My GP gave me the details for Tommy's and also Miscarriage Association. Tommys suggest using a work EAP. I called them as said they could support but a specialist charity might give me better help. The miscarriage Association links to Petals Charity which ive contacted but im not in the catchment of the list of hospitals they work with. Im South wales based and looking for in person around here or bristol, or if anyone found online worked- interested to know more on that too.

Firstly, I am beyond sorry for your loss. Honestly the mental health support around miscarriage is absolute SHITE. My trust had a service called Forget me Not - but it was a 9 month waiting list. I was very very lucky and had BUPA via my work and got 20 sessions for counselling on them. Do you have any similar work benefits? X

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!
