Who’s still working? - exhausted 😩

I’m 35+5 today and honestly just so over working. Have to stick it out for 3 more weeks because of needing to maximise leave the other side for childcare reasons. I am now able to work from home till my leave starts but I just have zero motivation and hate having to wake up to log on to a laptop every day. Tired and uncomfortable and just want to be on my own agenda 😴😪 wondering who else is still plodding along and sticking it out at work?

Baby girl is here 🩷

Had my 2nd little girl Molly-Roux who was due the 1st June but she came on Friday the 15th May at 11:41am weighing 6lbs 13oz at 37 +4…she decided she wanted to have the same birthday as mommy.

Both me and baby are doing well. Her big sister is obsessed with her 🩷 can’t wait to see the arrival of everyone else’s babies good luck ladies 🥰

Back pain and induced labour

Just had my 34 week midwife appointment (been referred for an urgent scan as baby is measuring a little too big) but, my midwife has suggested advocating for a induction from 37 weeks due to my severe back pain. I have scoliosis and struggling to leave the house without being in excruciating pain. I’m not completely against the idea but want to hear opinions of others on induction! Please nothing too scary :( x

Does anyone have quick fixes for insomnia?

I’m sleeping 2-3 hours a night, and not even in one stretch. I don’t want to take sleeping pills atm because I struggle getting up the next morning and either need to do the daycare run early or look after my 3yo. Meditation isn’t helpful for me, and I already don’t use my phone/TV before bed, I read instead. We’re going away this weekend and I’d like to be able to enjoy, so literally any tips to sleep, unhinged or not, please help lmao

C section scar defect affecting fertility

From my c section, it turns out I have a scar defect/isthmocele showing on pelvic ultrasound. This is where a pouch forms in the scar in the uterus, collecting blood, causing me post menstrual spotting and most heartbreakingly this can lead to secondary infertility. Consultant has currently said to wait a few more months and then a combined laparoscopy/hysteroscopy procedure would be needed to treat the defect to restore my fertility. It’s quite common and not something I realised before opting for a c section not induction! Has anyone else had the surgery and got pregnant after?
