I’m praying it sticks! 🤞🏻

I had a miscarriage last September, and now I’m pregnant again. I’m only 4 weeks 5 days. Last time I miscarried I was 5 weeks and 3 days. I’m praying this one stays. 🥲

I’m not telling anyone right now besides hubby, so I figured I would share here!

Say some prayers for me! 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Hi, 3 week pp from emergency c section with my 1st baby.
Noticing I have overhang (apron belly), does anyone have any tips to reduce this?...
Do belly bands/ shapewear help...?

Another May baby!

Little man made his entrance a few days earlier than planned via cat 3 section because of GD causing placenta issues. He’s been hanging out on a blue light bed for a few days but seems to be much better now and jaundice has cleared. I know lots of people have worries about not expressing colostrum beforehand and I did too- I went into this having failed to express anything and a lot of reasons why my baby would need it. The second he was born I was able to express what he needed for his sugars and he’s been ebf since without an issue. Excited to see the rest of the babies make their appearances!!

Naturally inducing labour?

I know lots of people have posted about this already but I needed to make my own because I’m low key freaking out.
I just saw the consultant, she said everything is looking great except my blood pressure is a little high and my BMI is high. She said that I need to go to a day assessment clinic once a week to be monitored for my blood pressure and to keep an eye on any swelling etc.
She also says she advises I be induced between 39 and 40 weeks.

What old wives tales can I try to make sure I don’t need the induction? 🙃
Any other advice?

(I know everyone says “just say no” but if it’s medically necessary I don’t feel like I should say no 🤷🏻‍♀️)

Postpartum bleeding

Hi guys, I gave birth Friday at 5:58am and my postpartum bleeding is already incredibly light. This is my second baby and I can’t remember how long I bled for with my first to be honest (heavy wise) but I feel like it’s really light really quickly? And I don’t know if that’s normal or anyone else has had the same.
Im still wearing pads etc because bleeding is definitely still there but it’s like a mild period.
