I’m 5 weeks postpartum with my 3rd I was told as long as your not soaking through a pad every half hour to an hour you should be okay
But I’d call your health care provider if your worried just to double check
I go from maybe 2 days of not bleeding then 3 days of bleeding. It also can depends on what you do. Like I have a hard time not picking up my toddler and that usually starts it up too.

Baby stopped moving
I am 39 weeks today and had my last scan this morning and it’s all good. Tonight I’ve noticed for the last hour or so no moving. I’m really scared cos usually he moves all day and night especially at night to the point I can’t sleep. I don’t know if I should wait or go if it’s only been around a hours time?
It says online not to prod and poke or have water cos it won’t mean anything I am sat in bed watching it but I really don’t know what to do!!
My tummy is just completely still. I was and have had Brixton hicks for ages and right now my tummy is rock hard but just nothing moving

C- section recovery...
Hi mummas,
I had an emergency C-section 15 weeks ago. I haven't had much rest, and as a single mum, I’ve been completely on my own since August caring for my little one and my 14-year-old beagle.
The thing is... the external scar has healed completely, but I’m not sure about the internal ones. I still have pain and discomfort in the area. If I touch the scar or my belly around it, it hurts, and the skin feels weird—kind of half-numb. I can only wear "grandma" knickers because anything else presses on the scar and hurts.
Is this going to be like this forever? Has anyone experienced the same? Should I be doing something about it?
I was really shocked that my 6-week postnatal appointment was completely useless. The doctor didn’t check me or ask about my C-section recovery at all—the only thing they asked about was contraception! It was horrible. I really need some advice please...
Also, I feel like this body isn't mine anymore. At the beginning I didn't care much, but now I feel like my abdomen will always be big and "horrible," and it's getting me down. I mean, I'm very protective of my body because it created life! But at the same time... I feel ugly 😅🤦🏻♀️

Cervical checks?
Im pregnant with my first and I just went to my 37 week appointment. My pregnancy has been a healthy one but I did share some concerns I was having. She just brushed them off. Is it odd that I haven’t had any internal exams or checks? Everybody around me is saying they should’ve checked and made sure I was okay

Urgent Scan 😅
I'm currently 38 weeks and had my midwife appointment today. She has scheduled an urgent scan to check the position of the baby because she isn't head down yet and they may need to turn baby.
Has anyone had experience with this? This is completely new to me as my first was head down from 36 weeks (ended in a C-section through induction)
At this point I just want her out but still really want a vbac this time around.
