Question ladies!

So I’ve had a rough week icl with the MIL so has my husband.. I’m 34+3. Anyways after a stressful day today I have been having irregular period like cramps but it’s making my legs ache as well? No other symptoms at all just some lower back ache. I have zero idea what Braxton hicks are ment to feel like. Baby girl is moving like usual. (She is transverse breech atm also) the longest cramp lasted about 3 minutes I think. Do you reckon this is just normal stuff, nothing to actually be concerned about?

I don’t want to alarm you but it’s ok to go get checked at the hospital just to be 100% sure. I never felt Braxton hicks during pregnancy but the start of my contractions felt like period cramps and bad cramping down my legs. I hope it’s just Braxton hicks for you but if they become regular “period cramps” like pain you should 100% go in to get checked

Belly band

Hi ladies, I’m from the uk. London specifically. I asked my doctor about belly bands given after a c section at the hospital and she said no, apparently Im the first person to ask her this. I thought it was normal practice? Although I didn’t receive one for my previous two but I thought they would if i asked. After my second section my insides felt like they were all falling apart and it was difficult to walk, I know a belly band would of helped loads with feeling ‘put together’ if you know what I mean. I’ve also read and heard about a lot of mamas that have used one to help with this. This is not by all means to lose weight, but a belly band to not feel like all my organs are on the floor! I wanted to ask, for those that have previously used one, which would you recommend? And did you wear one right away like on day 2?

2nd baby?

I had a pretty rough ride with my first baby who was born sept25 but I’ve always dreamed of having 2 babies.

My first question is, if you struggled with PPD or found it hard with your first - did you experience the same with your 2nd?

My second question is, what do you think is the perfect age gap? I was always going to wait until school age of my first but as he is a sept baby that’s going to be 5 years..I don’t want to be out of full time work for nearly 10 years as I love work. So I’m wondering how long others left it?

Just any advice would be lovely as I’ve been thinking about it a lot (I shouldn’t be cos I’m only 8 months pp😂🫣)
