Advice please… 37+5

So since 1am I’ve had slight stomach pain not terrible just you know it’s there and a loose stool🙃woke my partner up saying think baby is on way but it hasn’t progressed to being any more painful just the pain is still there. So went back to sleep the pain is still there but more of an ache than contractions! So do you guys reckon this is a stomach bug or early labour? I feel silly like I should know as this is my 3rd baby but I only went in to natural labour with my first which was nearly 10 years ago😳was induced with my second

Help for other Mothers!

Hi Everyone, a friend of mine has just had an emergency c-section. I've had 2 emergencies myself and I've decided to write a list of tips for her to make her life easier/healing better for when she's home.

Please leave your best tips below so I can add them to the list and so other expecting mums can see!

Thanks in advance!

Colostrum- planned c-section

I had my 36week appointment today and will be having a C-section at 38weeks. I asked about harvesting colostrum and the midwife told me not to do it before birth due to planned C-section.
I didn’t get this advice with my first and did collect colostrum that time.
Has anyone else having a planned C-section been told not to harvest colostrum?

Csection scar not healing

It’s really getting me down feel like I won’t be the same again and it’ll be reoccurring 😭

Has anyone else had problems with tiny holes in their csection scar not healing? I’ve been on antibiotics for infection which has gone but there are three tiny holes near the centre that heal over and then pop open again as soon as I do a little more e.g going to baby class or getting pram in and out of the car / lifting baba in his car seat as he’s getting heavy now.

I didn’t have these holes at the start they first opened up after my 6 week check when I started doing more etc

When you give birth what with the 1 kid

Hello, how do you all organize your first kid when you are going to the hospital to give birth to your second kid? I have a Firts 3 years and half and I’m pregnant for 23 weeks with second boy 😆 Do you take him or her with you to the hospital or how do you know can you please all of you give me ideas we don’t have any family near us. My mother needs at least five hours to arrive to Madrid it’s where I live in Spain. Soo ? 😆lol
