Guilty

Exhaustion is hitting now at 36+4. I feel like Iv been the most boring mum to my toddler this whole pregnancy as it’s been so hard and can’t help feel so guilty. I only have a couple weeks of just us and I’m just so tired and can’t be bothered to do anything and feel so bad about it, I really hope the whole pregnancy with a toddler is harder than new born with a toddler is right 😣

I’m right there with you, I could have written this myself. My toddler is medically complex and autistic too so I have even more guilt than I should really. I can’t even be bothered to take him across the road to the park most days. I also spend a lot of my time in children’s a&e and hospital with him so that completely drains any energy I have left 😭 I feel so fed up and guilty and absolutely dreading the newborn trenches with having a toddler this time

How long from 10 cm dilated to when the baby is actually born based on experience? I know everyone is different

How do you pronounce these?

So I have two names that people have said are a bit hard to pronounce at first glance. So I'm asking, how would *you* pronounce "Owelia" and "Sylvana"?

Pregnancy 12 months post C-section

Does anyone have any experience getting pregnant 12 months after a c-section? My deliveries will be 20 months apart, but I am still nervous.

Different scar placements

Looking at photos people have shared of their c-section scars, I can see lots of you have low scars that are just under the public hair line. Mine is way higher than that.

Does anyone know why they can be at different levels and if it means anything for future pregnancies and c-sections?

Hospital bag!?

Help a girl out. I’m starting to gather bits for my hospital bag. I’ve found a few check lists online but no one really says how many of each you need. Does anyone have a checklist with amounts on?
Like the one big thing are we taking the little ready to use milk and if so how many?
Also is there anything that you are glad you took or wish you had?
Anything that was a waste of time and didn’t make it out the bag?

After growth scans telling me she was predicted to be 97th centile I opted for induction and she was born 38+4, they were 100% right 8lb 7oz of this little chunk on 97th centile!
