I don’t think so. It’s encouraged to walk and keep moving. But only you know your body best. To be honest I found that I was stiff post partum well into like 18m.

Only you know! I was doing loads of movement post c section (I’m a super active person) and had to remind myself to slow down! It’s normal to feel physically exhausted, just be mindful of your abdomen movement and pulling on your scar x

If you did anything like the 5/5/5, you're probably out of practice. The same thing happened to me. Take it slow, and do a small walk, even just around the house, every day and build on that.

I felt fine and then went to 4 different shops and I just felt it, I felt aches all over mainly below my hips and then just so tired

It's so easy to overdo it, sadly. I know the feeling. But taking it slow now means so much more functionality in the future

I did what I could . You're gonna feel uncomfortable for a while. It's been 6 years and it still stings when I sneeze 🤕

Choosing our 2nd son's name just showed me even more, how culturally inept people are

We chose a first name for our 2nd son and yes granted it is very uncommon, but it's what my husband and I agreed on and loved. My husband is half British and half Jamaican, so the name is in honor of that. We chose the name Babatunde, also before we even chose that name our first son kept pointing to my belly saying "Baba". When I told family/friends I got some "LOL's" or "what a mouthful". I'm kind of used to this anyway because with our first son people STILL say his name wrong even though it's not hard at all and these people are family and his own doctor 🤦🏼‍♀️ I remember being at a baby group and a Mum asked if my son was Japanese because of the "weird name"... His name is Kaizen (pronounced Kaizen (like sky) and Zen (as in Zenn garden). He consistently gets called "keyzone" "keyzen" "kozen" half the time I know it's just ignorance. But all this opened my eyes even more to how inept or ignorant people are when it comes to other cultures or ethnicity. Obviously I'm extra aware especially with the way the UK is going. Just wondering if anyone else has encountered this?

Countdown is on 😬😬😬

9 weeks to go….

Settle something for me.....

If your partner went out to the shop to grab a picture frame, and while out messaged "do you want anything else?" To which you replied "no", but then he came home with an ice cream for everyone in the family but you....would you be annoyed?

Like I didn't realise you were somewhere that even sells ice cream, and didn't realise everyone was getting ice cream but me!

Just to add, I'm currently 8 weeks postpartum and breastfeeding and so am permanently hungry 😂

First C-section

Hello mommas! I wanted to know how everyone feels after their c-section? I had two vaginal births first which were high risk pregnancy due to my first born being a stillborn and my third baby was breeched so I had to have a c-section plus other complications in the labor but it is really hard to come to terms with it the pain the limitations not being able to play with my toddler and just the thought that if I want another baby (which we did) having through go through it again like I don’t want to and it was so traumatic and scary I just feel like a lot was taken away from me but I’m blessed my baby girl is here safe but can’t brush off this feeling.
