Worried that contractions will trigger me

I had a miscarriage at 10 weeks last year and had contractions and back pain when miscarrying. Im currently 38 weeks with our rainbow baby and I’m really worried that contractions will trigger me. Anyone else felt this or experienced this?

Thank you ♥️♥️

It is horrible and I’m sorry that happened to you. I went through the same thing but when I had my daughter all the fear and worries left me when I looked into her eyes for the first time.

I'm so sorry you went through this. I also miscarried at 10 weeks and had contractions as well. When I had my rainbow baby after, I was so excited to meet him and focused on what I had to do to get through labour that my miscarriage didn't cross my mind. I really hope it's the same for you.

Is anyone else finding out gender on Friday (20 week scan)?

I just am excited to know so I can go shopping 🤣 but wondering if anyone else is near the same due date as me (September 12) and are having their 20 week scan on Friday as well ☺️ photo just not to get lost

C section

Since having a C-section, has anyone else felt like this?

After I eat, I sometimes feel really weak and heavy, like my body just slows down and even my posture feels off. I’m about 4 months postpartum and it’s still happening.

Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this or knows what it could be? 🤍

Just left hospital…

Omg just had an elective section when does the pain stop?
I’m day 1 today & although I’m moving around I’m only having paracetamol and ibuprofen which I can’t see helping! I’m so sore.
I’m gonna need to do stairs too. Also I’ve got a pico dressing any advice on making the most of that too x

Induction/epidural

For those that went through an induction did you have an epidural?

Context
With my first i didnt have an epidural until after his birth as i had a 3rd dagree tear, his birth was completely unmedicated because it was so fast.
Well anyway multiple people tried for 4 hrs to get the epidural in and failed it was so painful and my back was bruised badly for weeks, in the end they gave me a spinal.

I basically want to know if i can get through an induction (that i know tends to be more painful) without an epidural and just with other pain options or if i just opt into a cesarean

I have 12 days to decide and im stressed 😫
