April 2026 Babies 🇬🇧

6 months pp (nearly)

Have a pounding heart 80% of the time, lump in my throat, stressed about every little thing, sleep deprived, can't even think straight.
Normal 6 month feels? Pp mental health? Anyone else? Got a 3 year old also which is why im struggling sooo much. No village & partner works long hours. Just feel like im drowning at the moment

I also have an almost 6 month old and feeling exactly the same. You’re not alone 🩷

I'd speak to a Dr. That sounds like extreme anxiety. As someone who also has a 3 year old with no village, it is very busy and a lot of juggling... But I definitely have started enjoying it more and we've all settled into our new roles in the family. Worth having a conversation if you're struggling xx

Growth scan!

We went for a growth scan today as my bump was measuring smaller(currently 37 weeks) , however, they’ve said she looks to be growing really well and currently weighs 7lb 4 which is apparently slightly above average! Would this be 100% right? Or has anyone been told that their babies weight is one thing on a growth scan and completely different when they’re born? It’s our first baby so have no idea🩷

C-section question.

How soon did people drive after c-section?

I know the advice is 6 weeks but did anyone go sooner?

How long did you stay in hospital after a c-section?

My second baby is breech at 37 weeks, my first was a vaginal birth.
How long did you ladies stay at home after your c-section? I want to have the time to recover, but I don't want to be away from my daughter for any longer than I have to.

When did you start abdominal exercises?

I’m desperate to start on some abdominal strengthening exercises but am only 12 days PP 😬
I feel good following surgery and my scar is healing well! I appreciate now is probably too soon but when did other people start on recovery/strength movements?
