Frequently going to the toilet 💩

TMI 🙈 I’m 38 weeks and for the past week or so I’ve been constantly going to the toilet to 💩 I’ve seen and heard a lot of people say that it’s your body’s way of telling you that it’s preparing for labour due to hormones etc but I don’t know how much more I can take!! 🙈🤣 My belly is constantly in pain. I’ll go to the toilet then half an hour later I’ll be running back to the loo. Did anyone else experience this towards the end of their final trimester?? I haven’t lost my mucas plug or anything like that, just have a constant pressure on my 🐱 which has caused swelling, been leaking more colostrum than normal and struggling to sleep. If anyone has experienced this, how long did it take you to go into labour? Praying I don’t go over my due date 🤣

The 8 week peak 😭🤯

I thought we peaked at 6 weeks but leading up to 8 weeks my baby is putting me through it omggg! The crying, the fussing, the fighting sleep, the extra clingy-ness, it went up x10 this week. Every day this week I’ve had to order food because I couldn’t even get 5 minutes to prepare something. Then I’m eating with him literally on my chest. And this is whilst in the trenches of maternity pay may I add. Thankfully my mom is having him tonight so I can have break but then I feel like I’m still not going to get any sleep because I’ll miss him 😅

Anyway my logic is since it has gotten worse it can only get better! How is everyone else’s 6-8 week stage going?

Toddler nose bleed?

I have a 2 year old son,tonight he was laying in bed for the past hour watching tv- I looked over and he had blood all over his face. He hasnt had random nosebleeds before other than when he hit his nose. Is this something I should be worried about? It stopped before I even noticed it. He isnt wanting me to wipe his nose or look up there but its coming out of one nostril only. Ive never had a nosebleed before is that common?

If you needed the spinal done twice for a C-section, did you have any complications down the line?

First off he's here! 3:30pm weighing 9lbs 🩵 it was a rough C-section, needed the spinal done twice, vomited, they needed to repair old scar damage, make a new incision and cut through muscle and lastly needed a vacuum to get little one out. If you had the same issue with spinal, did it cause any complications down the line?
