Your going to be absolutely fine, be excited that your baba will be here in your arms tomorrow & you can looking forward to warmer weather with your gorgeous babies (that’s what I’m telling myself 😂) Xx

I used a c section belt after my first and it was an absolute lifesaver!

With him I just used one off of Amazon (like one of those elastic back braces that you can do up tighter with velcro) I am booked in for another c section next week and I have bought a frida c section belt off of vinted as it's padded and I have a wild two year old so I am hoping it will offer me some protection too 😂 but I am keeping the old one to hand as it was brilliant! Made it much less scary to cough/ sneeze/ laugh 😂

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 :)

I feel overwhelmed trying to do it all as a mom

The past two months were really hard for me. I was waking up extremely early to take my daughter to my sister so she could watch my daughter, then heading straight to work. On top of that, some nights my daughter would wake up in the middle of the night and wouldn’t go back to sleep until around 5am.
I was trying to push through it all, but I ended up getting overwhelmed and had to leave my job. Now I’m back struggling again and honestly just trying to figure things out.
For moms who’ve been through this—how did you make it work or what helped you get through those seasons?

Ultrasound at 40 weeks

I have been booked a growth scan at 40+1 weeks. I’m 39+3 today so obviously if I go into labour before then it’s cancelled. Just wondering if anyone else has had a scan to see if they need to get induced or anything.

Period at 1M postpartum?

I’m 6 weeks postpartum from my C. I started having some bleeding on Thursday and it’s gotten heavier since then. Also having blood clots. Dr said it’s just my period coming early. I’m exclusively breastfeeding. Anyone else experience this?

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?
