Weak knees and ankles!

Since having my LO 13 weeks ago my knees and ankles have been getting progressively weaker. Standing in the morning or after a period of time sitting causes stiffness and sometimes pain when trying to walk again. Once I’m up and warmed up it’s not a problem at all. I’ve read this is common post pregnancy. Has this happened to anyone else and is there anything I could be doing to ease this?

Am I making the right choice?

I have recently decided to go for an elective C-section.
If this was your last birth experience would you do the same? I know it’s an individual choice but I keep doubting myself but I just had such a bad time… 😞

It was a Vbac …. Ended with…

-episiotomy with forceps
-retained placenta
-2litres blood loss with transfusion.
-GBS positive (probably going to be positive again)
-since birth 4 years ago i have been having issues with bowel incontinence 🙈

Husband help

FTM
We have to have an early elective c section for medical reasons on Friday. My husband seems not to understand recovery at all, suggesting we have his brother's within the week and go out for dinner etc at 2 weeks as I should have 'recovered' by then. This seems too much to me, am I being unreasonable?

12-18 month wait

Hi - my midwife said 12-18 month wait before having another baby post c section, I think I may be pregnant again too soon to test but I just have a feeling. I’m 8M PP, so baby would be due around December which would be 17-18 months. Has anyone had a second c section in this time frame? Is it 12-18 months from c section or to get pregnant after then?
