Hair, weddings and illness

I’m a hairdresser and I’ve woken up sooo sick. But of course it’s my clients last hair appointment before her wedding day this Friday. We’re doing a colour and trim.
16 years and this always never gets easier for me.
On one hand I’ll battle on and come in to work. Im a true girly girl and if I didn’t have my hair done for my wedding I’d freak TF out. So I get it and it’s what makes me just power on 99% of the time. But then there’s always the omg what if I make her sick and she wakes up on her wedding day poorly and it’s all my fault.

I HATE my job for this reason. It’s a constant head f&uk

I’ll probably make myself x10 worse by not resting and it’s going probably send me into anxiety/panic attacks territory for the next few hours while I decide what I’m gonna do.

Happy Tuesday guys!

Why

Why are most people wanting to start to try and induce labour earlier that 37 weeks 🥴 it honestly baffles me 😅 I get people want to meet their babies but geez babies are still developing and growing.

Vaginal or C-Section preference?

Just looking for people's experiences who may have had both a vaginal and a c section? I had a vaginal birth for my first. I struggled very badly with contractions, but the birth part was okay and had second degree tears. Walking straight after and recovery good.

C section has crossed my mind just because I hated contractions that much haha! But I keep telling myself the recovery would be harder, and its easier to just go through the pain with a vaginal and once baby is out, its over. Whereas c section may not hurt to get baby out, but harder recovery (haven't experienced so presuming).

Whats everyone's experiences?

Big bump...

Is anyone watching their bump get bigger by the day knowing you still have potentially a few weeks to go and completely bricking it? Everyone keeps telling me my bump is huge.. and this isn't my first pregnancy but it's my first big 'proper' bump 😭 I'm not sure if my muscles are just loser or baby is actually that much bigger - and people keep on mentioning it and asking if i'm sure there's only 1 is giving me anxiety

Possible labour?

Sharp cramping for 4 hours last night . It died down & I was able to take paracetamol to try get some sleep . Lower back & lower bump, extremely painful to move positions in bed . I’ve woke up & obviously no waters etc have gone . Any advice?

Suddenly really poorly post section

I am 4 weeks post section now and I have got a raging fever, headache, body aches and feel sick. Could this be related to my scar? Should I go in?
