Sleeping post c section
Hey guys!
I’m 17 weeks post c section and I’m still finding it so painful to lie on my side or my front. Is it just me? Like I literally wake up in excruciating pain and can barely move…
I’m wondering whether this is a normal part of recovery or if I should go to the GP
Any advice would be amazing!

Im 5 weeks post section and have been abke to sleep on my side since week two, i would maybe speak to your gp about this as it doesn’t sound normal and you are supposed to do most things after 6 weeks
Im 16 weeks pp, and have just been for a massage to help. I would wake up in pain sleeping anyway but my right side. So far so good. Can you look into massage with somebody experienced with pp?
I'm nearly 5 weeks pp. I have been sleeping on my side and back switching for around 2 weeks. However if I sleep on one side for too long (which I tend to do cus of facing next to me crib) I can definitely feel the difference and it's sore

Hospital bag size
Is a medium suitcase too big to take to the hospital? it will have everything but snacks in it. With my second I took a hand luggage for myself and a baby bag for baby but it was annoying having two separate bags and it won’t all fit in a hand luggage

Movements 38+3
How is everyone doing with movements? I went triage 3 days ago for reduced movements and everything was fine, had a reassurance scan the next day and again all fine. However movements have stayed less punchy and frequent… midwife said it’s normal for it to change at this stage! But it’s driving me insane!

Early gender test
Did anyone do an early gender blood test? I did at 13 weeks with previous pregnancy but looking at getting an early scan and was thinking I might just do it while I'm there. I would be 7+6 so not sure if this is too early? They do say accurate from 6 weeks but I just don't want to waste money if it's possible it could be wrong? Thank you!
