Worries

I’m a FTM having a c section in a weeks time. I am absolutely terrified, and I’m not even sure what about. I’m just terrified that I won’t be good enough for my little love, providing is not an issue she has everything and more but I still feel so unprepared and I think it’s the nerves of the unknown. Is it pretty normal to feel so much and borderline panic, I just want to do a good job and I’m scared I won’t be enough.

I don't think there's any mama who can say she was fully prepared. You're going to be just fine! And there's lots to learn as you go.

Yep. Totally normal feeling that way. Everyone is different but you'll find your own rhythm. I hate the unknown. If you have family available. Use them for anything. Dont forget to look after yourself and try not to stress over the small things. You've got this

Completely normal with my first I was beyond terrified. It didnt help for me that I had an abusive mom so I was constantly thinking I would be like my mom. My baby is now 9 months old and the happiest baby you can think of. Sometimes those nerves and anxiety show how much you care and how much of a good mom you will be

Turned my pregnancy cravings in to....

A charcuterie (or as I call it, shark coochie) board. 😆 Sparkling blueberry juice on the side! 😋

Late period🫣

I had a c section 3 months ago, i’ve been put on the pill as i’m not allowed the copper coil back in just yet. I had 2 periods last month and now i’m currently 6 days late. My partner does also use protection. I know your periods can take up to a year to go back to normal after pregnancy but could it be pregnancy again?

Sorry if I sound silly i’m a FTM🙈

Evap/indent?

I’m hoping this is an evap/indent line and not a second one. I have a 6 month old. I’m only 8dpo (found out at 10dpo with my daughter) so still very early. What do you think 😳

Inductions

So I’m speaking to my midwife Thursday about inductions - I’ll be 39 weeks and having my sweep.

Has anyone else asked for an induction?
I have fibromyalgia and it’s flaring up so much in later pregnancy, I can’t move or bend without having shooting pains down there, period cramps most days, keep getting back & rib pains, my feet are now swollen and I’m just so drained now😭

So I’m going to ask to be induced, can anyone let me know their experience with inductions?
