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 💗

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

First midwife appointment

Hi , I’ve got my first midwife appointment on Friday and I was wondering what to expect or what they do. All I’ve been told is that it’s just a health thing and they take bloods and it can take up to hours .

Baby movement

Hi, I am 21 weeks and just wanted to check how many times a day you get a baby movement?? I have posterior placenta and this is my 1st pregnancy.

Anal fissures - TMI

Sorry this is a bit TMI, I’m 6 weeks PP (vaginal delivery with episiotomy). I have had 2 occasions since giving birth where I have had a poo and felt some pain and had a small amount of red blood on the tissue when wiping. Bit graphic but I have looked in the mirror and on both occasions appear to have a small kind of paper cut on my bum hole area, it’s a little bit painful for a couple of hours but then passes and no problems the next time I have needed to go to the loo. I wondered if anyone else has had similar pp?

Concerned mumma here

I’m 26+5 and last night I was getting a lot of tightness I didn’t expect much of it as I thought it was normal but all day today I’ve felt a lot of tightness/pain and pressure as well as vomiting as well as feeling dizzy and nauseous and a little bit like shaky, is this normal?
