Baby

C-section was scheduled for june19th came into l&d for the urge to poop && pressure. Baby girl was not doing what they wanted to on monitor so they ordered an ultrasound which she wasn’t doing what needed to be done so we were staying overnight. Babygirl heartbeat started to become elevated and the ob ordered C-section at 2am. 3 and babygirl was here weighing in at 5 pound even 17 inches long.

Which do you think?

Have babies back to back! You’re in the trenches already may as well get it all done at once
Get back to “normal-ish” before having another (stop BFing, SLEEP, get back to working etc and then start again)

I hope this makes sense haha

Just for fun 😊

Cramps?

Hi I'm sorry for another one of those 'is this a sign?' Posts 😅
But I'm 40+2 and have been having this really dull heavy ache in the bottom of my belly today it's getting stronger but its the kind of pain that comes but lasts a while and goes and it's not 'contraction'-ey. It's the kind of heavy ache/cramp i get when I'm about to start my period. I've also had a lot more lower backache than usual thats come in waves but I've literally had 0 'signs of labour'. Wondering if anyone had any similar experiences?

Slightly hoping I go to sleep now and wake up having contractions 🤞🏻😂

Early labor??

I’ve been having pretty consistent contractions all day. I think their contractions because I can time them and they’re very painful at times. Rn it’s about 4 min apart and they’ve been like that all day. I’m going to the er soon but I don’t want them to tell me it’s been Braxton hicks this whole time. I can’t even sleep and I started to become nauseous towards the end of the day. Any tips for how to navigate this?
