Period

In 6 weeks and 5 days pp, my post birth bleeding stopped about 1 week ish a go (it was only minimal at that point and mainly brown) today I have woke up and wiped and there has been bright red blood, I don’t have cramps just back ache but I’m thinking it may be my period? Is it too early should I be worried?

How did you get rid of your c section shelf?

Example what workouts (bonus points if you have the video links!)
What creams to help with scarring? Or just firming up the shelf

Baby number 2

I had a my baby via c-section. She’ll be 1 by August 2026. Has anyone been pregnant before their baby turned one ? Did you get any health complication ?. I don’t know if trying for another baby a month to her 1st birthday would be a terrible mistake.

Leaving baby during day/overnight

I saw a post on here recently where someone was saying they haven’t left their baby with anyone yet. I regularly have my parents or my partners parents have my baby for a morning or afternoon and I’ve already left him overnight twice - once for a wedding and once to go to a gig. I know I’m in a very lucky position to have both sets of grandparents live locally and that can help. But I wonder if it’s unusual that I’ve already left him a few times compared to other people?! Curious to know if anyone else has left their baby over night yet?

Exhausted

Is anyone else just exhausted, I haven’t slept longer than 4 hours in 4 months. Sometimes it feels like your doing something wrong when you hear baby’s sleeping all night

Lower back nerve pain

I have what feels like a pinched nerve in my lower back right side that goes into my hip, any tips on how to relieve this, it’s been a long night so far 😩 stopping me from sleeping on my left side completely, now right side is also uncomfortable

so much pain

i’m 31 weeks, this is my second baby (2 under 2) and past few days i’ve been having severe back/rib pain that doesn’t seem to get better when i lay down. it’s also soo much more difficult to breathe while im laying down as well. i know rib and back pain to some extent is super common and normal but this level of pain is unreal and i don’t remember it being like this with my first, i wasn’t nearly as uncomfortable this soon. anyone else???
