4 miles
Not homebirthing sadly because my local homebirth team has been disbanded! It's 16 miles to the nearest hospital, probably part of the reason it's no longer available.
3.5 miles, I have to admit the proximity did play a big part in my decision to home birth as they said ambulance was a 9 minute response time and this just made me feel more comfortable.
Just want to say - good luck for your homebirth! I had one with my first and it was beautiful.
I can’t have one this time but wishing you well ❤️ it’s the best thing ever having your baby and then getting into your own bed!

Baby pushing against tummy
Hi everyone. I’m a first time mama expecting my rainbow baby girl on Christmas Day. I’m currently 33.5 weeks.
The last four or five days I’ve found my tummy feels really uncomfortable and not like it did previously. It feels like baby is pushing or leaning back against the front of my tummy all of the time, so one side feels really full and distended. She’s kicking and moving fine, but I don’t know whether this is just a result of her getting bigger and so feels new, or something else?

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 )

How do you wait for appointments?!
So I found out I’m pregnant on Saturday!! My first appointment is in December but my first scan isn’t until January! How do you cope with waiting that long to see your baby and making sure everything is okay?!

Pain here at top of bump / ribs (35w, 3d)
Has anyone else experienced pain in this area when sitting and laying on your side.
Feels like a sharp stabbing / pulling and gets worse the longer you’re in that position.
Baby is head down
Thanks! 🙏🏼
