I dealt with spotting early in my pregnancy as well. It eventually went away. I would wear a liner so you can track how much you’re bleeding.

It’s best to get checked as it could be anything, it may be fine or it might not be. I personally have had both outcomes, I bled at 6 weeks with my son and he’s about to turn 4 next week and I bled in my second pregnancy last year and went on to lose that pregnancy x

That sounds like a lot. It could mean nothing but I’d put on a pad and see how much comes out. I had spotting around then too but it was like one wipe and then a few days later it happened again. Never really enough to press toilet paper on. So it could mean nothing

Often happens and all is fine but I would get checked

Pop a pad/pantyliner on, get checked, I had light pink bleeding at 6 weeks and every 4/5 weeks after till 25 weeks (for a couple hrs at a time ) , and had a successful pregnancy getting checked or getting an appointment in the EPU will help get you answers x

Some bleeding can be normal but it is always best to get checked x

Pop a pad on and see how much actually comes out but if it’s soaking through your underwear and pants then that is a lot.
You can either call 111 and get advice from them or wait until morning for the EPU to open up and contact them x
Did you notice any signs or anything before labor started?
I’m 39 weeks and a day and I’ve had the runs with everything I eat and felt a bit sick yesterday. Really hoping things kick off naturally and I don’t need to be induced. I’m a first time mom so not a clue what to expect.
I feel like I’ve been losing my mucus plug for weeks so don’t think that will be a sign unless it becomes a bit bloody.
Is it right that your waters don’t have to go first and you can just start with contractions?

I have always loved nature based names, but now I'm finally about to become a mum, my chosen names are becoming so popular!
Here are my top names, but we are also considering them for first and middle names.

How long after did you apply the silicone scar strips over the c section? I’m 3 weeks PP now and I’m wondering if there is anything else I can do to help it?

How is everyone doing now we're getting to the final weeks or days for some?
For me the heartburn and indigestion is unbearable. But I think the part I find worse is the restless legs which have cranked up 10 notches! I'm exhausted but I just can't sleep for it. Anyone else?
I've also had a couple of episodes of sickness and diarrhoea in the last two weeks, never had that with my first two.
Just feeling very ready to have baby rather than bump.
How is everyone else doing?

Hello!
My first birth ended up in an emergency c section and this time round I have opted for an elective c-section.
What is everyone packing in their hospital bags? And how did you make it easier for you whilst you were in hospital?
