Natural birth after c section

Anyone had the experience of having a natural birth after c section with previous child?
I had my daughter nearly 3 years ago via emerhency c section and now going through my birth plan I really want a natural birth this time round but would love to hear other people's experiences! I know everyone is different but still nice to hear!!

Hospital bag

Finally it's due date month!

How much is everyone packing for the hospital? I've got a cabin sized suitcase and a changing bag full and still got some bits left to pack. Am I over doing it? FTM here so no idea what I will actually use but I also want to take things I might want to use even if I don't end up using them.

Also is anyone packing 0-3 clothing? I'm measuring in the 90 percentile but my midwife has told me that does mean I'll have a big baby. Again unsure and how many and what time outfits to pack. I love gone with just a newborn swaddle hoping that we will manage with that as my 0-3 swaddles are 2.5 tog
Thanks

2 weeks PP and feel so weak

Hey. I’m 2 weeks PP today and I’m feeling so weak and drained. I have no appetite to eat. It’s really getting me down and effecting me looking after baby. 😔 please say it gets easier.

Herbal tea

Just wanted to put this here as I wish I’d known this sooner. I’ve been drinking a lot of fruity herbal teas as I’ve gone off tea and coffee and still like a hot drink but I’ve just discovered a lot of fruity herbal teas have hibiscus which you are meant I avoid in pregnancy! I had no idea!

What age was your baby when you first left them overnight?

(Don’t judge I feel like this is giving bad mum enough🫣😂)

It’s my partner’s mums birthday coming up and my baby is seven weeks old I feel on edge leaving him as it is and all I read is people not being able to leave there baby till they’re over 2 months, is it bad if I do go for the night and leave him with a family member ? And is it bad that I’m even considering going 🥲🥲
