When can you go back on contraception after birth?

I’m a week postpartum with my 2nd baby and I’m wanting to go back on the implant just so I know I’ve sorted it and around my area there can be a waiting list for a nurse to come into my GP to do it and I’m worried if I wait til the 6 week checkup to be put on the implant that I’d have to wait longer.

If I was to go on the implant/contraception before 6 weeks, would that be a good idea?

Ultrasound photos 🥲

Was hoping for that cute strip of baby photos to use for my shoot that I see everyone have.. instead my tech (who was a guy) gave me one of my baby and two leg photos……. WHYYYY

And I didn’t notice till after cause I was already cleaning up when he handed it to me.. I thought it was just standard practice and that I wouldn’t have to SPECIFY. And it sucks cause there were so many moments he showed me of my baby like sucking its thumb and stuff. So dissappointed.

Is Margot too ‘trendy’?

Our sons have classic names and my husband loves Margot but I feel like it’s too popular at the moment

Has your baby rolled over yet?

If yes, are they doing it tummy to back or back to tummy? Do you do tummy time with them and for how long?

I know it’s different for each babies but I’m trying to understand if doing more tummy time actually helps or not. Thanks!

I am having frequent reduced movements, 32 weeks pregnant. I have extra monitoring and bi weekly CTGs. Can I request to have an earlier elective section because of this? Anyone in the UK thats had a similar experience?

Pressure

I know lots of people have been asking stuff about signs of labour.
Last night I woke up at 1am with a heavy feeling of pressure quite low down. It hasn't subsided this morning and i just constantly feel like i need a wee. Is this a sign of anything or am i clinging at straws? I'm now 40+5 and desperately don't want to be induced
