Coil
I have been given a date for my c section when I was in my last appointment they offered to put a coil in while iam in surgery for my section as a form of contraception. Iam not too sure if I should do this incase it gives me bad side effects or messes with my hormones has anyone had this before and what was your experience like? This is my first baby and its all new to me.

I declined it for both my sections as I was also afraid of the side effects and potentially impact on the uterus healing process.
I had a procedure done 3 months ago and asked to have the copper coil inserted. It's hormone free.
I have slightly more cramps before my period starts and my period is a little bit heavier but apart from that it has been fine.
I wanted something free of hormones so I opted for the copper coil. There are hormonal coils available as well.
I had the coil inserted during my last c section. I must say my periods are heavier than before. But unsure whether thats down to the coil or her being my 3rd baby. You can have the non hormonal coil which i have and i just needed my gp to trim the strings. Other than heavy periods, mine has been fine
I have the implant only had a cycle once and I love it
I got an implant instead before the hospital. Maybe that’s a better option?

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
