Advice on recovery and family emergency

I just got home from the hospital yesterday, two hours after being home I got a call that my Uncle has passed.
He lives 3 hours away, and I’m recovering from a c section.
My 4 year old was very close to him, so I’m struggling with how to explain to him/if it’s appropriate for him to go to the funeral. But also, what would you do in this circumstance. I am still very much so stuck in bed and baby is only a couple days old. Not ideal traveling circumstances!

Baby boy arrived yesterday 💙

Baby boy arrived at 40 weeks & 5 days. Born yesterday at 10:32am after only arriving at the hospital 8:30am. Didn’t make it out of triage, no time for any pain relief either 😭. But he’s here and safe and worth being overdue for. His older sister is already so besotted with him 💙🩷

My whole world 💖

Baby Amelia arrived at 15:14 on 08/06/2026 weighing 7lbs 7oz.

I was in hospital since the 4th, tried 3 methods of induction, all of which failed. It turns out I can't actually birth vaginally as my pelvis is too small for babies heads so im glad I didn't try a 4th method and keep tormenting myself. Thankfully Amelia coped well with all induction attempts but still needed forceps as she was trying to move into my birth canal 🥹

I had such an overall positive experience in Derby Royal and im just so grateful to have my angel in my arms 💖

Baby’s movement

I’m at a loss as to what to do. Baby’s movements don’t have a patten and never have I’m 33 weeks and Iv been in 5 times now for reduced movement/ non movement. Each time I have gone in baby has been fine and starting kicking away when I got there.

Movements again are reduced Iv tried all the usual stuff and it’s not worked. I just feel like I’m wasting there time as when I get there baby goes to town. How much is to much in regards with movements when will the doctors intervene and do something ?

Thoughts?

Have a son called Oakley (Oakie) and think I’m having another boy…

Thoughts on Harley or Hartley?

I’d love to be able to shorten it if anyone has any suggestions of the best nicknames? Otherwise might need to get back to the drawing board
