Are these normal symptoms?

I’m currently 7 weeks with baby #2. Haven’t seen an obgyn bc im currently waiting to get approved for insurance. I’m very uncomfortable like my back hurts sometimes when im sitting for too long my sides hurt when I do a lot of movement, and just overall. I never had any symptoms like this with babygirl so this is definitely new to me. Unsure if this is even normal this early 😕

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.

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

Bigger baby experiences?

Today is my Estimated due date, had a scan yesterday and baby is estimated at 9lbs 11oz - worth noting they couldnt get a head measurement as baby is too low down in my pelvis.

No signs of labour as of yet, which is fine. Before I found out baby was on the bigger size (95.7 centile) I was wanting to wait for him to come naturally. Now I’m considering a sweep as my first option to give my body gentle encouragement into labour.

The hospital have been extremely pushy since 37 weeks with wanting me to be induced which I would like to avoid if possible and posing no risk to baby & I without it.

Can anyone share their experiences with birthing a baby on the larger centile?
