Spicy time?? 👀

Obviously I know it’s whenever I feel ready but I had an episiotomy and a 3rd degree tear so when am I okay to even try anything, not even the full thing?

Have you had your 6-8w check yet? Personally I didn't feel ready for an extremely long time after birth with my son. Breastfeeding made me, uh, quite unresponsive shall we say to that kind of thing. Zero urges whatsoever for months. If you've had your checkup already, and they've told you that your wounds are healed, then technically any time, but proceed with caution, as things will feel different and likely uncomfortable if you are still quite early postpartum

Am I in labour?!!?

Can real labour contractions just start close together instead of being far apart and at inconsistent times to start then getting close???
I’m 37 +2 and I’ve had braxton hicks for weeks but just started having contractions about 20 minutes ago I’ve had 5 so far and haven’t timed them as of but they are a lot more intense and low down and I need to breathe through them. I’ve had no waters break idk if I’m just overthinking

Reduced movement

Hey. I was just thinking. What is considered as reduced movement? Assuming you normally feel your baby move 5 times a day. If they moved just 2 times on one day, 4 times the next, once the following day but next to 5 the day after. Is that reduced movement or irregular movement? At what point exactly do you call triage?

Bright red spot in whites if eye

My newborn baby girl was born 3 days ago with some bright red spots in the whites of her eyes. According to the pediatrician there was trauma while she was getting pushed out with the umbilical cord wrapped around her eyes. These are broken capillaries which fade away in 2-3 weeks but I wanted to know if anyone went through this.

Does it affect vision at all? Does the spot fade away with time? Anything I should be doing at this point?
