For C-section mamas, did your second baby arrive early?

Everyone always says the second baby arrives earlier than the first, but what about c section mums who had a c section with their first?

With my first I had a c section at 39 weeks before labour started.

I'm curious to hear from others if your waters broke/labour started earlier than expected with your second?

Am now 31 weeks pregnant with my second and wondering if baby is likely to wait until the 39th week as I technically haven't been through labour before! X

My first was born at 37+1 via emergency c-section due to going into spontaneous labour and him being breach. My second was born at 35 weeks exactly via c-section due to spontaneous labour again. I'm not sure if its just because my womb refuses to keep them in there or if the first c-section had anything to do with it. 🤔

Can’t control my eating

FTM and 30 weeks pregnant. I cannot stop eating, I think about food all the time. I used to eat fairly healthy and only eat what I cook at home, take aways were very rare. The last few weeks I’m craving chocolate, ice cream, doughnuts etc. I just went to the shop and forgot all of my usual shop. I can home with 2 packs of ice creams, a giant bar of chocolate, crunchy doughnuts, pizza, burgers, full sugar ginger beer, sausage rolls. What is wrong with me?
I started hiding chocolates in my room out of fear of judgement from my partner.
I want to be able to lose the weight after and worried I won’t. I have an auto immune disease so already suffer with fatigue and on bad days worsened mobility.
Anyone else had a similar experience? Any advice?

Just wondering if I’m alone

Was anyone else nervous or worried about raising a baby girl in this world? I’ve been through things because of being a girl that no one should have to and it makes me nervous as we prepare for our baby girl in the next few weeks.

Low blood pressure

I am almost 9 weeks pregnant with my second and I have been strugglinggg with low BP in the mornings and dizziness all throughout the day

The mornings are the worst. This morning I got up and could hardly make it to the dog to take her out. I laid down and checked and it was 97/54. That isn’t horribly low but it makes me feel so awful. I also have suspicions I am anemic due to me already being borderline before pregnancy. What can I do to help??
