Do I need to worry?

I’m a very anxious Mum so please be gentle! I had my 2nd baby on Wednesday (3 days ago) with a very small 2nd degree tear & some stitches (I think it was basically a 1st). I’ve been told to rest lots the first week so I’ve just been resting in bed mostly these few days.

There’s not much blood on my liner when I stand up, but when I sit down on the toilet a big blob plops out. I called my midwife & she advised that it’s probably just where it’s pooling when I’m sat down & not a clot, but I can’t stop worrying!

Has anyone else experienced this?🙏🏼🥺

Not to worry you but definitely keep an eye on it. I had this, they told me the same. Then an hour later I went back to the toilet and I passed massive clots and wouldnt stop bleeding, like literally running down my legs level. I phoned again and told me to go in. By time I get there, bleeding has stopped again. So doctor said im fine and to go home and they will call.me for an appointment for a scan to be sure. Now this was a friday night and so they werent even going to be phoning me till Monday for this scan. My husband hit the roof and so they just did the scan right there and then (i mean, like seriously....) doctor went really quiet, said I had retained some placenta and would need admitting for surgery 1st thing in the morning....

I had a c-section but there are times where my pad has a tiny spot on it but then when I go to the toilet I get a lot more blood or clot when wiping. I imagine its the same as a period when we stand up and move around gravity does it thing. Hope your worrying eases soon xx

Lump in thigh.

My 3 month old had her second lot of vaccines on 22nd and has developed a massive hard lump where the injection was. She is refusing to bend her leg unless it’s of her own will.

Anyone else have this with their baby? Should I be concerned? Google said a pea size lump is normal but this is bigger than a pee.

Does anyone here have any vbac stories after a c section at 10 cm dilated & pushing?

My first child was an emergency c after 4 hours of pushing at full dilation. He was large and in occiput posterior position, so that’s why he was so stuck. But I really want to do a vbac over a C-section for my second child! Because I was 10cm dilated and fully labored and pushed, does this mean that my baby may come pretty quickly? Hopefully I have a 7-8 pound baby this time, that would probably help too 😂

Growth Scans 29 weeks

I’ve recently been to see my midwife for a growth check on bump and they’ve marked it as a Red Cross, I am only 29 weeks with my first but they are saying he is 0.1mm too small 🥴 and breech so I’m now having an emergency scan on Monday has anyone else experienced this? Should I be concerned or planning a planned c section…

I am getting baby fever.

Hi everyone,
As mentioned in the title, I am getting baby fever. I want to have another baby but I had my girl on August 2025. My husband is saying he will do what I want to but, some people are telling me to wait but I don’t know if I want to wait. What do you guys think?

Thanks
