Please, I need advice!

I am having my first and im 31 weeks going on 32 weeks on Friday!
I have had leaking colostrum since 13 weeks!
I am so used to wet tops and bedsheets. But I am fed up!
What must I do or can do to stop it so I can sleep and not roll over in a wet patch!?

She’s trying to escape

33 weeks and 5 days. Got an iron infusion today and the monitor showed I was having contractions, so they checked my cervix and I’m a centimeter dilated, they said the contractions were irregular and said to just come back if it gets worse, they also did an ultrasound and apparently she’s measuring at 7 pounds, send help lol. Anybody else who has a similar situation how long after did you give birth?

Recliner chair for recovery

Is anyone who is having a c section considering getting a recliner chair or had one for recovery? I keep hearing that it would help in the first week of the section in terms of recovery and not having to use your stomach muscles as much than if you were lying flat at bedtime. Any thoughts?

C section on hairline

I just had a look at my C Section scar in the mirror for the first time (yes I was scared out my mind) the scar is right at my hairline. That means I have to shave right on top of the scar. Anyone else? :-(

Birthday party theme

I would like to have a poll for people’s opinion. I am torn between doing my Little one’s birthday party in the theme of either “berry first birthday” or “our little pumpkin is one”- her birthday is September 27th so the pumpkin one matches better BUT the berry first theme is just too cute and she loves strawberries. I’m so torn! What is everyone else’s favorite??

Pregnancy massage

Has anyone here had a professional pregnancy (prenatal) massage? 😊

I've been thinking about booking one, but I'd love to hear some real experiences first. Was it worth it? Did it help with aches, pelvic or back pain, or just help you relax?

I'd also love to know how far along you were when you had it and whether you'd recommend it. Thank you! 💕
