BOY AND GIRL?!

Had an exciting few days had my 12 week scan and found out I was 13 weeks and got to see our little babe sucking their thumb too 🥹

What does everyone think boy or girl?!

I have to return to work I can’t afford to be a stay at home mum much as that’s what I want.

I have a physical retail job. Customer facing and stock working with targets.

Do I do 2 10 hour days, and then take a 3rd day to rest and have my LO for 4 whole days a week.

Or do I do 3 shifts, something like 8, 8 and 4 or 6, 6 and 8.

With 3 days I never really get a break. I’ll still be responsible for mornings and bedtimes on my work days and then won’t get a rest day as I’d miss having full days with LO.

But if I do 2 10 hour shifts I’m worried I’ll be exhausted. It’s a long day, and then add broken sleep as my LO is 8 months and stilll waking between every 30 mins - 2 hours, so by 1 I would expect frequent wakings even if there is massive improvement.

Postpartum bleeding

So I had my daughter just over a month ago never had any problems with my postpartum bleeding bleed this happened for about four weeks no pain or stomach ache I then stopped bleeding completely a week later I’ve started bleeding again and quite heavily and with bad stomach ache passing clots is this normal?

C section pain

Tips for pain management? I’m 6 days post section and having paracetamol and ibuprofen every 4 hours but I’m still sore and only really managing to walk to the toilet and back. They took the stitches out yesterday and it was checked and they’ve said it looks fine.

We were inpatients for quite 4 days as it was an emergency section and baby was in NICU being monitored and having IV antibiotics so have only been home 2 days.
Sorry to add I can’t have codeine/dihydrocodeine due to an allergy!

C-Section

Hi all

On the 20th I have a csection booked due to some complications which is going to be done under GA. What is everyone’s experience with csection under GA and do they use a breathing tube? How long does it take to come around from GA

4D scans and anterior placentas

Hey everyone!! I’m 27 weeks and really wanting a 4D scan!
But.. I have an anterior placenta and the last 2 scans I’ve had this cheeky boy has been on his belly and not playing ball and we rarely get to see his face etc.

Do you think it’s likely I’d have a successful 4D scan or would I be wasting my money?!
