Back randomly hurts

Anyone else who had an epidural (or multiple) does your back just randomly hurt or get tender from time to time? Also did this make you not opt for an epidural in future pregnancies?

Contractions/ early labour advice

First time mum looking for advice!
I’m having contractions in my lower back and pelvic area, averaging around me 5-7 minutes apart and around 30 seconds long. I’ve had a sweep yesterday and lost my mucus plug.

Am I in early labour? 😅

First time mum! Breech baby

I'm 36 weeks and baby boy is footling breech, therefore been advised to have a c section. This has not been booked yet but I have had a other scan booked for a couple weeks time and a "pr op" booked for 3 weeks time I'm confused as to what a pre op is. And I'm terrified of spontaneously going into labor and causing an emergency situation... I suffer with anxiety and my mind is allover the place eveything is so new to me

Worried about conceiving after c section

I ended up with an emergency c section. Since reading around the topic looks like c section can be linked to secondary infertility, and now worried that it will be difficult to conceive number 2. Any one had this concern / any reassuring stories
? Thanks :)

Sound normal?

I’m 18days post section, I’m still getting discomfort / pulling in one side of my c-section. The GP thinks there’s a haematoma there but isn’t 100% or particularly concerned.

Also I went for a walk round the block earlier and I really struggled, I had to go really slow and although it wasn’t painful it just felt like hard work. I was kind of expecting to do more by now. I’m not far off 3 weeks… getting around the house / in and out of bed is fine just going out and walking I’m finding hard. Does that sound normal at this stage?

I feel like people have been constantly asking me since she was born. “So have you been to take baby out for a walk yet” and also I feel like a crap mum to my 4yo like I can’t take him to the park or whatever x

Big baby (33 weeks today)

I had a growth scan yesterday and my baby's weight is estimated at 6lb 2 already!

They did say they would induce me at 38 weeks if this trend continued but has anyone else had the same happen and if so, what weight were your babies once they were born?

Worried he's going to be massive!
