Lucid dreams

Lately I've been having extremely lucid dreams, to the point that they've changed all together with. Before I got pregnant for the 2nd time, no one in my dreams had faces, or acknowledged that it was a dream... I've had several extremely vivid dreams lately, of loved one that passed years ago, just showing up for a visit 🤷‍♀️
My grandmother, who died when I was 15, my cat that died 4-5 years ago, my uncle that died when I was 12... Now they have faces and tell me not to worry, it's just a dream, and I'm in control. Telling me things that I've always wanted to hear, about being proud of me, about how they miss me too, and even giving me advice on how to go forward in life...
In last night's dream, my grandma celebrated Christmas dinner with my oldest daughter and I, they never met, my cat told me to let the new cat he's doing a good job, and my uncle was his old silly self. 🥰😭😭😭
I could barely tell my fiancee about it when we woke up because I've been sobbing since my eyes opened.

It was the best dream I had in years. 😭🥰😭

Should dads be allowed to stay on the maternity unit overnights?

When I was in having my last baby, the written rules were dads had to leave by say 10pm and could come back in the following morning. It wasn’t until hours after I said goodbye to my husband I realised that the 3 other women in the room had been allowed to have their partners stay. One was snoring loudly, one was constantly walking and hovering about and also using the in room toilet which stated patient only. The gaps in the curtains made me feel extremely uncomfortable with boobs out,bleeding and vulnerable as you expect after a birth. I also was aware they could hear every personal question the midwife would ask me. This is making me anxious for my delivery this time around :-(

I think I may be pregnant.

So, I've been experiencing a lot of pregnancy symptoms for the past 3 weeks or so. I took 2 pregnancy tests, and they were both negative. So I don't know what to think. But Chatgpt said it was two soon for the tests. So I don't know. I'm just confused and have a lot of mixed emotions. My best friend thinks I am pregnant, however. I'm getting all the symptoms I got when I was pregnant with my son, tho. But I think I'd just wait for my cycle, and if it doesn't come, that'll let me know if I am. What do you think, tho?

Water run? Morrisons test.

Hi! Took this test this morning (12dpo, no period yet) and I’ve seen this on my test. Unsure if it’s a water run or maybe something more. What are your thoughts?

C section gas pain

First night home last night following a section, thrown up in the night due to severe gas pain. Also little one will not sleep unless on one of us so exhausted on top. Any tips 😩

C section Worcester 💖

I’m currently laid in bed with my new baby boy 💙after an elective c section in Worcester and I have to say I was so scared! I’m a huge wimp and haven’t had any medicals even though I’m 33 but if anyone needs to hear it, the team were unbelievable, I was in at 8am and out of theatre by 9,59am Friday and little boy was born.

An amazing & positive team! They did tremendous. I’m in recovery now but in case anyone wanted a little reassurance if you’re worried :) #worcester #csection

Baby Moon

Hi all, we're thinking about having a mini baby moon for a couple of nights. Just something special for the 2 of us before baby arrives. Looking to stay fairly local as I will be 36 weeks at that point. What are your thoughts? Its my first baby. Am I risking it being too close to due date?
