I’m not sure if I’ve just gotten used to her kicking and moving or if she’s hitting softer… I’m a FTM I’m not sure what or how I should be feeling (I’m 18 almost 19 weeks). She also seems to have sunken more into my back ...

Is pain while peeing 1 week pp normal?

Had my C-section 1 week ago and recovery is going well but yesterday the pain in my vagina while peeing was awful, I’d had a bit of pain there before but definitely getting worse.
