2 days PP pain and sleep

I had my planned section on Tuesday lunchtime and I'm just taken aback by how painful it is to just move generally, particularly cannot find a comfy sleep position now I'm at home. Does anyone have any tips for managing pain and movement?

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

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!
