Sleeping on your side after C-section

So I had a C-section around 2 weeks ago and have been healing well. However I’ve had horrid or no sleep due to having to sleep on my back for the stitches.
I had a check into it and it’s apparently it is okay to try to sleep on my side now but each time I try to, I’m way too anxious I’ll hurt myself and roll back on my back.

Can anyone advise when they were able to sleep normally again after surgery or what can help with starting to try?

First time labour!

Hey guys, I’m due on the 20th and have seen lots of people say they don’t want inductions, sweeps etc, is there any reason for this? I’d love to know different opinions as I’m so open to anything, thank you 🫶🏻

Induced?

I went into triage today after having reduced movements after my sweep yesterday. They have offered for me to be induced tomorrow morning. They said my waters are bulging and that i am already 4cm dilated. But not in active labour.
They said they were gonna break my waters and try the balloon. I had a previous c section before and was really hoping for a VBAC this time: does anyone have any words of wisdom? Am i making the right choice in being induced?

20 Week Scan

Had my 20 week Scan today. They couldn’t get a proper view of baby’s heart so asked us to return next week, everything else looked fine. And I also have a low lying placenta. Anyone else have this?

Show those photos! 💕

Came back today from my 32 weeks ultrasound and oh my lord, I actually teared up when I saw her ❤️

If you have photos from 3rd trimester, show them!

Tell me what it’s like

I’ve had one emergency c section and I was under a general anaesthetic so I don’t really know what it’s like. I also didn’t really have any issues with recovery other than lots of bleeding for way too long. I’m planning to have another one with next baby but I don’t really know what I’m in for. Can you tell me all your experiences, how did it go, good and bad! I want to have my eyes open!
