Terrified of ripping down there..

I’m considering a C-section for a few reasons including PGP. But amongst a few of the major reasons are i’m afraid of ripping or messing up my vagina. I’ve heard some women say months after birth they’re still scared to look down there or that they took a mirror and looked one day and had a major jump scare 😰😱 It’s just the extra healing time, the complications i would have with post surgery pain management from medication i’m already on, and the added risk of a major surgery, plus a lot of benefits i would lose for myself and baby by not having a natural birth.. Does anyone have anything to add? 🙏

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 ?

Worried I didn't respond to a mom correctly when asked for a ride to a party we were not invited to

I have autism and social interactions are hard for me. I do not have a poker face when I am disappointed, feel left out ect. This morning I took my twins who are 5 to school like always. I do not know the other parents beyond morning greetings although I'd like to. Another Mom asked me if I'd be able to pick her up and take them to the end of year class party on June 26. I have a mini van so I'm a good person to ask. I realized then that my children who have disabilities were excluded from this class party because we have not recieved an invite. this other mom was assuming we were going because everyone was invited. I tried so hard to hide my disappointment but I failed and said I would be willing to give her a ride anytime but we were not invited so she should ask someone else. She said the invites came out two weeks ago. Did I do ok? I'm feeling unsure now and will overthink it all day
