DOC TRIED TO FEAR MONGER ME

THIS FRIDAY AT THE VCU THE DOC TRIED TO FEAR MONGER ME OUT OF TRYING AN VAGINAL BIRTH TELLING ME THAT IT WOULD BE ABSOLUTELY UNSAFE AND HOW IT WOULD END IN EMERGENCY SURGERY.

THAT I NEEDED TO COME BACK MONDAY FOR A C SECTION CAUSE IT WAS HER RECOMMENDATION

BTW MY MAIN DOC TOLD ME IT WAS FINE TO TRY SINCE I HAD ZERO COMPLICATIONS THIS PREGNANCY.

IVE HAD TWO C SECTIONS BEFORE THIS BUT WITH THE UPDATES IVE LEARNED WITH A VBAC I HAVE AN 85% CHANCE OF A SAFE DELIVERY.

Bump at 7 weeks

Does anyone else have a baby bump early? I'm sucking in to rule out any bloating in the picture.

Mucus plug

I began to lose pieces of my mucus plug yesterday. Today I’m pretty sure the whole thing came out. I’m a bit worried as I’m only 37 weeks.

How soon did you go into labor after losing your mucus plug?

Bleeding at 9 weeks postpartum

Hi I’m not sure what the best thing to do is, I stoped bleeding around 6-7 weeks postpartum and my doctor told me if I kept bleeding past 7 weeks I needed to get an ultrasound.

The bleeding completely stopped around 7 weeks so I thought it would be ok. It came back now and looks like dark red blood? It’s like a light period enough to fill a pad after a few (3-4) hours but not super heavy.

I’m exclusively breastfeeding but could this just be the return of my period ? I was really hoping it wasn’t going to come back this early haha. I don’t have cramps like I used to and it’s definitely not as heavy as my period used to be. It’s been going for 2 days now… I know your period changes after birth sometimes so could just be that.

Large bowel/labor soon? 38 wks

So today for the first time right when I woke up I needed to poop urgently which isn’t normal for me, I usually poop at the end of the day and it’s not a large bowel it’s pretty small compared to my normal pre pregnancy bowels and also I’ve been more constipated while pregnant. This morning it was actually a good consistency and a larger amount than even normal, could this mean my body is clearing itself out for labor soon?? I’m currently 38 weeks and 3 days
