First period post baby 😭😭

Anyone else feel like their first period after baby is the most horrific period they’ve ever had?
I had my daughter towards the end of October and have had 10-11 bouts of cramps and back pain, but no period. But Tuesday evening everything kicked off and it’s like early labour pains 😭💀 .. it’s ridiculously heavy as well, but I heard that this can happen when you have the coil put in as well..

Feel sorry for myself, but having two kids leaves little time for that 😂😅

To cycle or not to cycle

I have been cycling to work for about 2 years now. The road is quite bumpy but I try and use the quieter roads to avoid any accident. Cycling in London is a bit crazy!

I am now 5 weeks pregnant. Is it safe to continue cycling? Without cycling, getting to work would be trickier and more stressful.

My Mothers Day present finally arrived

I’m so excited! Trying to juggle baby and reading a physical book was not going well. Kindle took like 2 weeks to get here because I couldn’t pass up the pink option. 😂

2 under 2

for the ones with two under two, that are in their early 20’s, how are you guys managing ? how did you guys pop out pregnant? did you post your pregnancy? I’m currently 6 weeks and a few days pregnant, and I want to protect my peace, so, I will be keeping this pregnancy to myself, but, I just wanted to know how you guys did it, for reference, i’m 21 with a 9 month old.

High?

I’m on high risk of preeclampsia, I’m 36+5 and my blood pressure since yesterday night is 120-90, is the diastolic a little bit high? I had trace of proteine in my urine last time at the midwife and my albumin is very low so I’m starting to be worried about that

Is my baby okay?

I’m 9 weeks pregnant and my son who is 2 was sitting next to me as I was laying on my side and he stood up by putting pressure not kick but kinda like a step/ push off on my left side of my belly and now I’m so worried what if baby isn’t okay and what if the baby is gone. I went through a miscarriage in January of this year and since then I’m just already so worried of another one. I tell my 2 year old be careful with baby and he has kicked my belly before and everything was fine but still I get so worried especially because that side does feel sore especially in the pelvic but please someone help with my stress.
