Feeling IUD?

I had an IUD placed a week ago today ive found now and again with bowl movements or if ive crouched down for a little while once i get up i can feel it slightly its hard to explain what it feels like best i could describe is like if you get a tampon that just didnt sit right ?

Sometimes i get a shooting pain if i move awkwardly but its few and far between..

I cant feel anything but the strings if i try

I am currently on my first cycle with it if that makes a diffrence ?

They have said to come back in 6 weeks for a checkup but im only on week one so dont want to be going to get checked if its normal ?

40 years old. Due 25th September. Still no labour signs

Im 40 years old, pregnant with my first and 39+5 days. Last week I had my last consultant appointment they recommended I be induced via ballon last week. I declined that as I want a natural birth without any intervention. I was then booked To see a doctor yesterday and CTG. I again declined being induced and wanted further monitoring till my due date 25th September. I’ve still got no signs of labour and have another scan and ctg booked tomorrow. They have also offered me a sweep tomorrow to get things moving and I’m still unsure if I want this. The only reason for sweeps and ballon induced method is my age. Doctors say if I want a sweep it has to start tomorrow incase it doesn’t work then they need to do another one or else will go straight for induction on Monday.

Second degree tear and sitting on the toilet🫠

My baby is 7 weeks old tomorrow, I had a natural birth but got a second degree tear and had other stitches for a vaginal wall repair. I'm mostly healed day to day but the sitting position when sat on the toilet causes uncomfortable pain and I can only sit for a minute or two before having to stand up which is obviosuly hard whilst trying to go to the loo😩
I had a step stool so my feet are flat on something as I'm short and they don't touch the floor but is there anything else i can be doing to nake it more comfortable or is this just my life now
