I’m finally 6 weeks postpartum today!

Today I am officially 6 weeks postpartum. I had a c section so it’s definitely been a long road. Anyone who’s had c sections before how do I go about having my first bath? My gp checkup isn’t for another 2 weeks but I’m desperate to have a bath and don’t want to wait if I don’t have to. Any advice?

Tampons after birth

I’m 5w5d postpartum, it’s hot ridiculously hot and these nappy pads ain’t the one. I want to wear underwear and a tampon like a human adult, but I’m still bleeding kinda like snot stringy blood… has anyone else experienced this and been okay?

Booking appointment

Midwife has left me a voicemail which I can’t make out what she is saying. They updated my Badger App but the appointment doesn’t show where the appointment is or anything. She said she would ring back later ( this was 2 days ago)

Diarrhoea & vomiting

I’m 36w + 1d and I’ve just had vomiting and a bout of diarrhoea. This is my third pregnancy and I never had any vomiting with the other two just diarrhoea a couple of weeks before delivery. Wondering if this has happened to anyone else or if I’m coming down with gastro?

Newborn baby grows

How many newborn baby grows does everyone have? I only have 7 🫣 I’ve just realised while packing my hospital bag 🙈

Baby 3 at 45?

I have just found out I’m pregnant. Not planned. Baby number one was a miracle at 40 and we were one and done. Then my dad died and the thought of going through it as an only child broke me so we tried and had a 2nd little boy at 43. We are blessed with our family and I’m more than happy with my lot. I have found out I am pregnant again at 45 and selfishly don’t want my life to change, not spoken to anyone yet but have completed my self referral to the midwife. Is 45 too old?
