TMI buttttt

So my due date is still about 20 days away but I have been having the absolute most amount of discharge like I keep thinking my water is just like leaking instead of fully broken it’s getting kinda crazy. My water never broke with my first they had to break it at the hospital cuz she was really trying to be born still inside it lol so I’m not even sure what it actually feels like

5 Months PP- How to Rid of Shelf?

Hello, hello!
I'm 5 months post-partum and have not been doing any of my usual pre-pregnancy workouts. I used to do calorie deficit and weight train, but since I pump and breastfeed, I can't do the calorie deficit without dipping my milk supply and I don't feel ready to weight train because just lifting a tote box for moving had me feeling sore inside the section. But ya'll!! Are there other ways to get rid of that shelf on top of the scar? I've always had a little pooch to begin with but after the C Section it has been more prominent. Let me know what regimen helped you.
*This should go without saying but please be kind in the comments* Thank you 😊

What percentile would this be (red dot)? Can't remember how to read the chart lol

Is anyone good with growth charts and can tell me what percentile I am measuring at? This was 28+2 weeks, and the midwife never told me, it's not mentioned in my notes like last pregnancy and I don't use AI lol

4 weeks pp - C section

It will be 4 weeks on Saturday since I had a c section when can I have a bath? I’m sick of showers I want a nice red hot soak 😂

colostrum

does anyone know when your colostrum is meant to come in? I'm just at 35 weeks but when I try to hand express, all that comes out is just watery, a slight cream tint but really slight, not thick at all. (yes I know I'm meant to wait until 36 weeks but I'm likely to have to deliver early so I'm anxious to get a bit of stock.) I feel like it's pretty late to still not be getting anything, will it get thicker in the next week or does this suggest I might have some trouble with the colostrum coming in in time for my delivery?

VBAC or section

Hey I’m just looking for advice from people who’ve done this before.

I had a planned section with my first because at the growth scan she was 10lb 6 and when I had the section she was 10lb 15. I was healthy and everything went well.

Now this baby at 32 weeks was 4lb 10 which isn’t huge, and I’ll have another scan at 36 weeks. I don’t have gestational diabetes.

I’m really scared either way and not sure which to do? I don’t want my scar to rupture… and I also don’t want the section recovery.

Any advice appreciated!

August babies

Apparently August babies are coming early, anyone had their August baby yet?
