Period after c section

When did you get your period after your c section?
After my first i got it exactly on my daughter's first birthday, i was breastfeeding.
This time around i had an emergency c section at 30+5, im exclusively pumping, not sure if it was a period but i had period like bleeding for 4 days at 8 weeks. The spotting 2 weeks after and now im 12 weeks pp and spotting again, is it my cycle coming back or should i get checked?
(I'm cycle day 23 today counting from the first period )

Induction

I have an induction booked for 40+3 if I don’t go into natural labour before then. They are asking whether I would prefer a medical or mechanical induction? Has anyone experienced either? If so, how was it? Would you have preferred a different option?

Lower back pain??

Hey I’m 10 weeks and 4 days pregnant and I’m having a achy lower back pain and it kinda feels strainy I work cleaning houses but could this have anything to do with pregnancy or just due to bending over at my job?

How long after your c section did you have a bath?

7 weeks PP and I’m really missing having a bath. Not got my PP check with the GP until 8 weeks and 2 days post c section.

No issues with healing so far!

When did you have a bath? Did you use any soap? Bubble bath?

Should I avoid taking a long? Or hot bath?
