Moms who have had peripartum cardiomyopathy

I’m struggling so bad. I’m newly diagnosed and am feeling so stressed about the constant sodium checking, limiting fluids, and food tasting like cardboard. Help.

2 placentas

I was told at my 32 week scan they found a second placenta. The first is anterior high. When I had my scan the sonographer said the second one was very low and posterior. She said it was wrapped around the bottom and completely covering the front.

The notes just say posteriorly so I’m a little confused. I spoke with the triage team who said to wait until my next scan where they will measure to see where it is and if it’s covering or close to the cervix I will need a c-section at 36 weeks.

My next scan I will be 36 +2 days so that won’t be helpful! I will go into the hospital tomorrow am for clarification but didn’t know if anyone else has experienced this and what to expect.

My mother in law is coming to stay with us when I would be 41 weeks and my partner has booked 2 weeks off work before she comes. Obviously times won’t work out now but will I be ok, home alone if he takes the first 2 weeks off and
I have no other help before mother in law comes?

Stressed 😩

Pretty sure my babies 6 week growth spurt has started a week early, this weekend has really tested me 😭 I’ve had to order food every day because my son won’t let me put him down for 5 minutes to make even a quick meal 😭 He fights sleep as well and sometimes not even the breast settles him. He has been so unsettled the entire weekend I’m praying it gets better 😩😭

Help- any second opinions?

I think im 10dpo and i feel I can see a very faint line. Can anyone see this too or is my eyes playing tricks on me? I feel when I move the test I can see it, then some moments I can’t and then it’s back. I’m not sure if it’s my eyes just wanting to see a line? Another photo in comments

Post c section trauma??

Did anyone have a planned c-section but still feel traumatised after? All I see is people saying how calm & relaxed they felt but I was absolutely terrified. I couldn’t eat for 2 weeks after birth due to shock! I just want to know if anyone else feels the same as it’s a lonely feeling.

Period type pain

Presumably period type pain is normal at 32+ weeks, right?

Has anyone had similar?

I think I have a pressure sore on my sacral area… and I’m pretty sure it was from having an epidural and literally just sitting there for hours on end.

What’s weird is that was in July 2025 and it’s still bothering me now! Over a year later and I get a sharp pain in that area when ever I sit down…

Just wondered if anyone’s had similar and if so, what helped heal it?
