Colostrum

I have collected quite a few syringes of colostrum. I am wondering how much people are taking to the hospital when in labour? As I don’t want to take it all and it go to waste/have to dispose of it.

Baby Girl due soon!

We are due our first girl this month and still don’t have a name! We have two boys- Harrison and Louis. We can’t have any flower names because of our surname. Please hit me with suggestions!!!

This is embarrassing but have any other mammas after 2nd baby had anything similar to this?

Basically since having my second baby I cannot wear any light coloured underwear because I end up with 💩 stains on them. Even if I’ve not gone no.2 that day or whether I’ve thoroughly wiped after it seems like no matter what I do I end up with small stains on my undies. It’s not like I’ve pooped myself or anything but it’s as if I’ve not wiped properly even when I know I have/ haven’t even pooped.

This has never happened to me before and it’s so embarrassing trying to be intimate or feel comfortable in myself.

Should I maybe go to Drs?

I’m 8 months pp and it’s been happening since I gave birth for reference.

Chasing up booking appointment

Heyyy I’m thinking about trying to ring to chase up my booking appointment but have no idea who I need to get into contact with. I did my self referral to county hospital stafford if that’s any help

Pushing with epidural

I’m considering if I will have or not an epidural in my labour, but I’ve heard so many mixed info of pushing phase with it. Could those who had an epidural during labour tell me how it went? Even if your epidural was running out or given just before pushing.

TIA

Prodromal/false labour

Has anyone else experienced this? I swear i was going into labour yesterday, intense back pains, contractions/tightenings then nothing and the pain stopped, slept last night. No losing my mucous plug or waters breaking then the same again today around 10am.
