How regular do you feel them?

All these while i had it lower. From a week or so its full uterus or sometimes at the top. Few days i get them whole day and night and few days very less.
As pregnancy progress Braxton hicks can really get annoying is what my midwife told me.

My Braxton hicks were always either at top or middle and not really painful just uncomfortable. Last about 10 mins on and off but changing positions helps

No question is stupid don't worry. Walking will usually bring them on yes, like a pulling/ tightening sensation but not a period cramp
What was everyone’s experience and what did you do to recover?
My first born was born by c section and it was a really bad recovery I want a natural birth and I’m so worried about the aftercare or what to do to avoid damage down there

I had an emergency C-section with my first at age 39. 10 hours of labor, stalled at 8cm and his heart rate kept dropping significantly. I’m now age 40 and 30 weeks pregnant. Time to decide if I’m going to try vaginal birth or just schedule the c-section. Part of me wants the traditional experience, but the other part of me is terrified and almost feels like another c-section would be the “easy way out” lol. My doctor was so quick to just suggest scheduling the c-section, but curious to hear VBAC success stories or if the recovery from a second c-section was awful or not too bad - help!

Currently 5 weeks post partum and my scar has the tiniest opening on the left hand edge but this is going smaller day by day - I’ve had gauze on it to stop anything getting in and have noticed a really small about of brown/yellow liquid on it. Has anyone else had this? It is not hot so don’t think it is an infection but would feel better if this has happened to anyone else, I have been really careful to keep it clean and dry!
