Baby movementa

Im 21 +3 and at the weekend and last week i could really feel baby and proper kicks, but since yesterday they have been super quiet. I have an anterior placenta so maybe theyve just wiggled round to a different stop. Anyone else experienced this? Any tricks to coax a kick out of them to stop me freaking out? 😂😭

C section

Im 5 weeks post C section & below my belly button feels numb and stinging, should I get checked?

36 weeks

Anyone else wake up feeling like they’ve been hit by a bus???

Every morning I’m so sore! My stomach feels crazy heavy, my arms and neck hurt, don’t even get me started on the back pain. I cannot do this for another 3 weeks 🥴😴🥱

Sciatica

Did anyone get sciatica after having c section? I had severe back pain whilst pregnant but was managed with chiropractor. Now I’ve come down with the same area of pain but worse to the point I was bed bound and it’s getting hard to lift my child. Just wondering if this was a common thing and what did you guys do to help?

I’ve seen some videos where it’s got nothing to do with the c section and it all comes down to lifestyle choices🙄

Labor prep

Am I the only one that hasn’t done anything to prep for labor? 😅 I’m just kinda going with the flow but if you’re prepping for it, what do you suggest doing? Perineal massages?

First Birthday as a mother

Today was my first birthday as a mother, and I didn’t do anything. I didn’t go out, I didn’t get blackout drunk. I just stayed in the house with my son, and honestly, I’m okay with that.

This was the first year I actually wished for something, or at least the first year in a long time. There’s about 30 minutes left of my birthday, and it just has me thinking about how getting older changes the things you wish for, especially once you have children.

I’m grateful for my son because I genuinely might not have made it to this birthday without him. His name is August because I got pregnant with him in August of last year, between me and his father’s birthdays so that makes this time of year even more special to me.

This was a very eventful year. I learned a lot of lessons, and I’m thankful for all of them. Most of all, I’m thankful for my son.

Happy birthday to me. ❤️

(And yes, I did welcome my birthday at Chris Brown’s after party. I did see him lol. But for my actual birthday, I’m content with being with family.).

Burning sensation

Just had c section 12 days ago, anybody feel like burning sensation while standing straight up then trying to sit after? Like tearing your insides? This only happened today after a really big sneeze! Is this normal or should I go in?
