Contractions

So I’m pretty sure I’m in early labour 😅 I’m getting contractions every 3 mins lasting 1 min each which is the requirement to go into hospital but the contractions aren’t all that painful i can still think and talk ect through them so idk what to do, i live an hour from hospital and my active labour with my son only lasted 1h so what are we thinking should i go down or not bother? x

Conceiving after C-section

Hi all!

I’ve seen many conflicting posts about conceiving after a c-section. I ideally do not want a large gap between my children. I’m currently 5 months pp and would like to start ttc in a few months.

People who waited or didn’t wait -what was it like?

If you didn’t wait the recommended time, was it another section or is a VBAC achievable that soon?

Thank you 💗

Clingy baby

Hi I know its quite normal for baby to want to he held all the time, but how long does this last so intensely for? It seems all day I cannot put baby down so have to wear a carrier to get anything done in the house. Do they become slightly more independent as time goes? It's really frustrating starting to have back ache from carrying everywhere

Gender scan

Has anyone had multiple pregnancies, one without finding the gender and one with? Which did you prefer? Did knowing make it easier to prepare?
I’m struggling to decide if I want to find out. My partner does want to know but I don’t. But now I’m wondering if I’m being mean amd making him miss out on the experience and it would actually be easier if we found out?

Just want some friendly advice.

37 weeks and 7 triage visits for reduced movements in the past 7 days

Hi girls, I’m starting to panic now, I’ve got an elective section booked but been in triage and admitted 1 night last weeks for 7 lots of reduced movements to the point I can’t feel my baby at all.

I have a consultant appointment today and don’t know what to do as it’s driving me crazy
