Yes but barely. 2 days before I had the runs. It paused during labour and picked up again 2 days PP 😵‍💫 imagine the runs during labour, I can’t

It wont be alot. I did in the birthing pool. They got it out 🤭 and refilled the pool. 🙂👍

Enjoy it. At least you're pooping again.

If I did I didn’t notice😂. In the heat of the moment I didn’t give a shit about anything other than pushing out my sunny side up baby.

No, but only because I had suppositories beforehand 😂

Irregardless, it is completely normal and nothing to be scared of, in the moment you wouldn't care and neither does the midwife anyway!

Most women do so don’t worry. Some don’t even know as the midwives don’t make a big deal about it and will clean it up quickly

Yep! 😂

No I didn’t but I really thought I was shitting

No but you won't even care at the time if you do. I was worried too

Ive had 3 births so far and my last birth i smelt something so im guessing I did 😅🤣 but no one saod anything 😅😅

When to have sex after c section postpartum

Help!! They don’t really tell you when it’s ok? I’m 2 months PP and my partner is like hello … I need to know when it’s safe and what the risks are. I feel like my healing has been slow. And when did you first have sec afterc section and how did it go?

To anyone who has a 3 year old.

Can you help me understand. My daughter just turned 3. She has minimal tv, we are outside ALOT, she’s in gymnastics and loves to get out and see other kids. Today we played with kids at 2 different parks. Anyway, my daughter has been waking up in the night recently with what I think are nightmares. She struggles to be consoled. She dropped her nap when my son was born. The girl will not rest. Are these nightmares related to being overtired ? She’s also been very emotional as well. What do you think ? Anyone experience this ?

Insomnia 🙃🫩🫩

Can anyone give any advice or just let me know I’m not alone…

I am 21weeks pregnant and SUFFERING with insomnia. I have spoken to my midwife and GP and they have not offered any solutions. Also being told it’s ‘normal’ hasn’t helped 😅

I am SO tired at this point my emotions feel even more heightened so going to work is becoming even more difficult and I just feel like I’m alone in this…

Early labour?

Is this early labour? I even got a small amount of liquid on my underwear when I did go to the bathroom but I’m not sure if is pee or my waters 🫣 this is my second, but the labour with my first was a chaos .
