Feeling ill

I’m 4 weeks post partum, had an emergency c section. Currently pumping and supplementing with formula but I just keep feeling underlying feeling of flu like symptoms, aching bones kind of thing. It never manifests into anything but I always just feel a bit unwell. I’m wondering if it’s the expressing that’s making me feel like this !? 🤔😫 Anyone else feel like this?

I had this around 2 weeks postpartum. High temp. Flu like symptoms. Paracetamol barely helped to bring the fever down.

Ring your maternity triage and ask them to get you checked over x

Definitely get checked just in case but it could jsut be the flood or hormones wreaking havoc, alongside lack of sleep and breastfeeding. Make sure you eat well and rest when you can! But definitely get checked just in case.

Early scan

I only found out I was pregnant last Wednesday but it turns out I could be between 8-12 weeks gone 😬
I get to go for an early scan today so I’m super excited but I will also be on my own so I’m a bit nervous encase there’s anything wrong. Either way, I’m wishing myself luck 🍀

Chair for partner

I'm getting induced on Saturday and we live 30 minutes drive from the hospital and neither me or my partner drive. I do not expect my partner to sleep on that tiny shitty plastic chair they'll have for him while I'm on the ward being induced.
Do you think the hospital would let me bring a chair like this in for him?
I am terrified of staying there the night on my own :/
Or is this just really pathetic of me 😅🤦🏻‍♀️

Bath

When did you first bath after a c-section? Did you encounter any issues?
Thank you

Baby girl names

I don't like any girl names 😭

I live in the US and like boy/unisex names for girls.

My top are Scottie, Palmer, & Maren but not sold on anything. I tried chatgpt but would love some suggestions
