pelvic girdle pain post c-section

Hiya! I’m currently 6 weeks post c-section, since been 4 weeks I’ve started having pelvic girdle pain and my bones cracking constantly, and severe discomfort with my pelvis that causes me pain when walking and severe discomfort laying in bed, i find that after a walk is when the discomfort is worse and it puts me down for the rest of the day I am seeing the doctor about this issue tomorrow
But I just wondered if anyone else has experienced this and what they have found that improves this? Thankyou🧡

Sleep deprivation

What’s the longest stretch you have gone sleep deprived? Im concerned my nervous system is stuck in high alert and won’t come down at night. Even when my LO sleeps well I can’t. They have just been through a sleep regression so that didn’t help matters. By body is now functioning on 3-5 hours a night.

Induction or elective c section?

Hi ladies, I am 40+1 today. I had a sweep on Friday where my midwife told me my cervix was soft (which she said was good) but it was still high up (Not so good). She's booked me in for another sweep on Friday and she also booked me for an induction this Sunday coming (1 week after my due date which was yesterday). I felt more told than asked which was also not ideal. Ideally I go into labour naturally this week but I am really considering opting for an elective c-section over an induction. What are everyone's thoughts?

Anyone with experience of either it would be really helpful to hear from you as I am a FTM and I have seen research that induction often leads to C-section anyway.

Contractions?

38 weeks here… I’m starting to not really be able to tell the difference between my baby rolling or Braxton hicks.. or honestly if it’s a regular contraction. Nothing is happening like super close together, but it’s definitely caught my attention. I have a doc apt tomorrow.. but until then, does anyone know how to tell a difference?

Bank holiday

I know this is a random question but just wondered if anyone else is the same as me. Every time it’s a bank hol people always ask ‘what are you doing for bank holiday?’ like it’s an event and I must plan something memorable for my family. But I basically see bank holiday like a Sunday! A day to potter around the house, play in the garden, maybe go to the park but nothing fancy. What IS everyone doing for bank holiday??
