Anyone else not chosen a name yet??

We don’t know babies gender, but we don’t have any names set either way, this is our third and likely final baby, which has made choosing a name feel so much more difficult! Anyone else that hasn’t decided at all yet?? If you have please share what you did decide on! I love to read everyone name choices.

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

Advice

I’m currently 35 weeks pregnant

All night so far I’ve had back pain, pain in my vagina and nausea. Has anyone experienced this before?

I’ve taken paracetamol and had a bath but back pain is still there. Had some toast and still nauseous.
