Baby wrap/carrier

Hello! After 9 years we are finally expecting our second little babe. 🥹 I had an emergency c-section with my daughter and my OB said to just plan on a second one. Also, I’ll be getting my tubes tied during that too. My question is, I know baby carriers make like a lot easier. Can we still wear them after c-sections? I’m going to be stay at home mom and student(online) so I’m really hoping we can.

I started wearing to church a couple weeks after c section. It was sometimes a bit painful but when it got to be too much I would just take a few minutes to sit in the pew. I also tried to time my meds to when we were walking out the door. This is the one I bought and have liked:

Double c-section mom here and I used them with both! I liked the wraps when babies were fresh and then used the carriers when they were more stable. 🙂

C section mom here. I used a wrap for the first 2 months and now using a carrier. It works for me and baby likes it

C section mum here too, I used the wrap 5 days after my c section and found it really helped me feel more stable carrying my baby. I started with wearing him for shorter times at first and then gradually longer and longer. Now he's 2 months old, I've moved on to a carrier instead for additional back support

Do you think it’s weird that adults are so into their own birthdays? Like full weekends out of it, can’t do anything else because it’s their birthday month. I get like milestones birthdays (18,21,30 & 50.) but it’s not that special, right?

Only asking because my friend of 15+ years blew off my baby shower because it was her birthday weekend, not even the actual day. Her response was “I’m a Leo”

Is this normal?

37w3d
Just had sexual inter course and then went the toilet and this was when I wiped
Rang triage and they told me they’re not concerned keep an eye out on the blood for any changes ect and this could be the start of labour.
But I’m still so anxious has anyone else had this?

Advice

Im 38 weeks +2 pregnant, and for the past week I've suffered with tremendous pelvic girdle pain. It's become so bad that I can hardly walk without being in agony, and I'm not sleeping because of it.

I have tried all the usual recommendations, but nothing at all is easing it.

I've had some tightening across the bump all week, and baby seems to be moving very vigorously now too, which comes with the sharp crotch pain. No other signs really. I am not really sure whether to phone triage today to get advice.

Obviously, I'm due soon, so referral to physio is Obviously not an option. Do I just need to ride this out somehow? Or could I maybe get some medication to help elevate the pain?

Last night I also noticed my hands and feet getting hot.

I've contacted my midwife for advice and waiting on a response. Any advice would be very welcome as a FT mum to be.

Thank you

To scan or not to scan??

I’ve got a scan booked in 2 weeks time when I ✨ should ✨ be 8+2, however there’s a scan available today at 2pm, I’m currently 6+1…

I really want to see a heartbeat before I tell my son I’m expecting and if I measure early I’m guessing I might not see that today, on the other hand if I do it will massively reassure me… help 😱
