Baby sitting low

Well, baby had been head down for the past two and a half months, last scan a few weeks ago baby was facing the right way too. She’s definitely dropping and as of this morning, even the slightest movement has me peeing a little 😐 I hope I not going to be peeing myself for the next few weeks 😂

I feel you on this one, my little girls dropped a week ago and she has none stop been dropping and I just feel like I’m peeing every time she moves 😂😂

Yeah my baby girl has been head down for a while. I’ve noticed over the last week though that my bump has dropped quite a bit and most movements I feel are either really far away (like they’re going towards my back) or they’re super low down in my pelvis - I’m wondering if she’s wanting to come a little early 🙃

I'm feeling this! Every time I get up I feel the need to pee and the pressure hits me every time 😮‍💨 he's so low now and all I can feel with my tummy is rock hard where his back is 😅

Elected c- section

Hey ladies I've opted for an elected c-section as i had one before but it was an emergency and have been told if i push and struggle im just going to end in a section anyway so i may aswell just elect for it, however, because i i was so tired i passed out and just woke up to my partner and our son,
What advice can you give me this time as I'm hoping its going to be so different.

Keep forgetting I’m pregnant

I am 15+3 and I keep forgetting I’m pregnant and don’t feel pregnant as I don’t have any symptoms that are typical. Is this normal? I’ve got a bump now but it still doesn’t feel real to me yet.

If you had a VBAC, was the feeling “worth it”?

If you had a good c section but hoped for a vaginal birth the next time, was it what you hoped for? Not like did you get it, but like… Was it worth the hype? In what way? Or exactly the same feeling as giving birth after a c section, or worse? Like if you could go back in time would you still choose VBAC or another c section? Thinking in terms of feeling during the birth and just after rather than recovery, was it just as magical or more so or less?

😴

Isit just me of does anyone else feel super tired. I’m taking so many naps and I don’t feel very productive. I end up wasting most of the day sleeping. I usually go gym 4-5x a week, but have only been once in two weeks 😫 help!!!

Braxton hicks ? Contractions ?

So I keep getting a tightness in my lower stomach. I’ve been timing them and they seem to be roughly every 10/12 mins but only last about 30 seconds. They aren’t painful but just like a pulling type feel is what I can describe. The app I’m using said I should now get ready but I’m not sure. Any advice ? What should I do?

Tired

Been extremely exhausted. I don’t remember the last time I felt some relief. People love to throw the self care advice but that’s just not reality for me right now. I work from home and watch my son solo majority of the days since dad is always working. I feel lonely and all I do is cry these days. Baby isn’t talking much which has been stressful and now he’s refusing meals. Ive read both are normal but it doesn’t help the stress I’m feeling. I don’t have a village to help or friends to vent to or can relate to. This has been the hardest season thus far and I keep wondering when and if it will ever get lighter. Not sure I even have a question. Maybe just looking to relate to anyone in the same season who’s also feeling this way.
