Bleeding

I had a C-section almost 6 weeks ago and my bleeding was definitely almost gone for the last week or so, but it has come back again and very period like, is this normal?

I’m at the same stage as you and this is exactly what’s happened to me! I went to the doctors and they checked for signs of infection but everything was good. They said it can be normal and to go back if it gets heavier rather than better - definitely go to the doctors if you’re worried so they can rule out infection

Mine did that at 6 weeks started to fade then all of a sudden heavy and period like and then at 8 weeks i fully got my period

This happened to me today. I'm 5weeks post c section. Scary to know if it's normal or not. Apparently breastfeeding can also cause bleeding to begin again.

This just happened to me, 3 weeks pp

How many kids do you plan to have maximum?

I’m only asking this as several years ago, back in the 1970s - 1990s, people would have several kids compared to now
I’m born in 1994 and I remember lots of people I grew up with had loads of siblings and my cousins from both my parents sides would have eight kids in them

I don’t want to go in the process of having another baby and restarting everything. The sleepless nights, screaming, baby falling ill and everything was too much for me.

In this generation, some people are sticking to one child only or having two or three kids at maximum

Rolling over

Has anyone’s babies started rolling over or showing signs that they are going too? my baby is coming up to 3 months old and isn’t really showing any signs yet except when he’s on his back, he kinda pushing his body up with his legs occasionally but I think that’s just accidental when he’s happy. My friends baby started rolling from front to back before she was 3 months old and I know we shouldn’t compare because all babies are different but it’s so hard not too as a first time mum, I’m worried that I’m doing something wrong.. is it normal not to be there yet or is he abit behind?

Baby boy 2 weeks old with no name please help 😩

Really struggling to decide on a name dor our baby, we’ve narrowed it down to a choice of four, Surname is Christoforou.

1st birthday presents

As much as I am trying to pretend it is not imminent and the thought of it makes me want to cry. What is everyone buying for their babies 1st birthdays? I could do with some ideas! So far my son mostly has books but would like to buy some toys too. Was hoping to get him a Jellycat but they seem to be sold out all the time online☹️

Elective C-section recovery

Hello I’ve requested an elective c-section as my baby is measuring on the larger side, and I’m currently waiting to receive a date from the hospital. In the meantime, I’ve been looking into the recovery process and how it might impact breastfeeding.

For those who’ve had a c-section before, how was your overall experience? How long did it take you to recover, days or weeks?

I’m hoping to exclusively breastfeed, so I do have some concerns about milk supply following a c-section. I’d really appreciate hearing about your experiences with this as well. Thank you in advance 🤍
