Anyone else too scared to have sex?

I’m 7 weeks PP after a c section, healed well and no issues but I’m so beyond frightened to even attempt it! I really want to get the intimacy back but I’m genuinely worried it’ll hurt or I’ll get an infection 😭

I waited until I was 4 months PP after my last section! I don’t want to do that again 😭

Hi, I’m 4 weeks post c section currently.
And I’ve had sex recently.
I was more scared to have sex after my natural waited very long.
If you’re not feeling up to it , wait a bit longer.
If you think you’ll be fine , might as well try 🤷‍♀️
If it hurts or you don’t feel comfortable, just stop :)
Good luck and congratulations on your baby )

My question is when do you find the time? 😅 Maybe because I have a newborn and a toddler and my husband works. By the time the toddlers gone to bed and the baby is settled we are exhausted.

Toddler (29 months) Name Change 💕

Please be kind, I’m just looking for friendly advice or thoughts. I had a few names on my baby name list for my daughter that I almost used. I do like her name, but as she’s grown, she really fits another name on my list so beautifully with her appearance & personality. It’s close enough in sound that I don’t think her development would be interfered with. I’m not worried about how others in my life would react to the change, it’s all about trying to decide what is best for her 💕
My thought is to use her given name as another middle name so she’d have 2 middle names 🤍

Abit confused on what’s going on. Baby gone from 90th percentile to 60th in a few weeks and says baby growth is still a slight worry .

Anyone know why is that?

Anatomy scan worries

Hi girls
I'm a little worried it might be normal
I can't help but worry at my 20 weeks scan they couldn't see baby girls heart or spine and kidneys so i have to go back in 2 weeks.
The mesurments atm are worrying me but they didn't say anything
head was measuring 13% 165 mm
Cerebellum 95% 22.8mm not sure if this normal
Ac 99% 165.8 mm
femur 48%
I will ask at my next scan as I didnt get the results until it was time to go and looked at them at home .
Has anyone else experienced these type of readings.
I wonder if my baby will be normal or not .

Driving after c section

How long did it take for people to be able to drive again? I’m really stressed about not being able to drive independently. I have family around but they do all work full time and can’t always rely on them. I also don’t live somewhere with good public transport

Touching my bump

I have a little bit of anxiety about people touching my bump without permission. I feel like some people just feel like they can. And I'm barely a hugger even with friends let alone having someone touch the bump (I don't even have a bump yet and I'm nervous)! How do you politely set boundaries in this area?!
