Trying for a second…

Did anyone try for Irish twins? Did you accidentally have them? If you had back to back c sections what was your experience?

TMI: No judgement please but do you think I should go to a hospital tonight or I’ll be fine til my appointment next week?

A gush of brownish red blood came out, like it squirted out while I was standing. I’ve been cramping the past few days, I’m supposed to be around 7 weeks pregnant but at the last appointment doctor couldn’t really tell even with the vaginal ultrasound..there was a faint heart beat but I’m kinda worried I’m miscarrying

Midwife visits

how many PP midwife visits have you had and at what point??
I’m 3 weeks PP tomorrow, had a midwife come out on day 1 and then day 5 and got told at the day 5 visit that a midwife would come out again once baby has reached birth weight so that we could be discharged, yet she’s been back to birth weight for a week and we’ve heard nothing from midwife’s. all contact now seems to be only from a health visitor but she’s not coming back until another 3 weeks.
Should we have had another midwife visit post day 5, or have atleast heard from them during this time…? 15 days no contact at all makes me assume i won’t?

Holidays without baby - Has anyone left there baby’s under one for a few days/week?

I’m currently pregnant and me & my partner have booked a 4 night break away to Greece next may. Our baby will be 9/10 months old. We are leaving him with my parents.

I’ve had a couple comments from people saying I should not of done this. I don’t no how I am going to feel after having a baby ect ect. I feel I will be fine as he will be 9/10 months.

Has anyone left there baby’s under one for a few days/week?

Baby names!!

Have we decided or got a few to take with us to see when they are born?

Planned caesarian section success stories

Hi all! Has anyone had a planned c-section? Starting to think that’s my best and safest option as my babs is measuring quite big and I’m on the smaller side (logistically I don’t think a natural birth will work out for me 😅). Heard good things about planned sections, I know emergency sections are different but any first hand experience would be informative!

Prodromal labour

If anyone has had prodromal labour, I was just wondering what it felt like to you? I have been contracting since Sunday, started mild and on and off, but since this morning has been really intense and the pain during contractions feels like labour did last time when I was 8cm and going to the hospital. The difference is, they are usually about 7 minutes apart, sometimes longer. Wondering whether to call triage and just ask to be examined and then it might help me gauge whether it’s false labour or not 😬
