Perineal massages

Hey everyone

I’m 38+3 weeks and I tried doing perineal massages for a little (one day) and found it so hard to reach and uncomfortable but that was a while ago now.

I’ve been having baths, raspberry leaf tea, collecting colostrum, having dates, walking, resting and bouncing on my exercise ball.

I am worried not having been doing perineal massages and pelvic floor exercises that I’m then missing big bits out.

It would be great to know if people found it helped doing them and if there’s any other tips you’d recommend in the lead up to labour?

VBAC?

Hey mom's! I am pregnant with my secound baby and I was wondering if anyone has had experience with a vbac before. I want it to work out so bad. Does anyone have any tips or tricks on how to have a successful one?

Edit: when I give birth I will be about 22 months post c section I am aware of uterine ruptures but I heard it take 18 months to 24 months for your scar to recover

Prep for recovery/ recovery kits

Is there anything that you would recommend buying to prepare for the recovery e.g. support band, scar patches?
Anything else you found helpful?

Thank you!

i threw up yesterday twice last night, i haven’t gotten my period but i did get some bad cramping. this morning, i wake up and use the bathroom. blood on tissue like the start of my period. anyone else experience this? painful cramps? i never really dealt with bad cramps or vomiting anymore since i was a kid and it seems like after pregnancy, this what i’m experiencing. i did feel better when i woke up this morning and i did take something for the cramps last night. well at 12:48am.
