Anyone else had a third degree tear? I'm one month in and the stitches are still pinching me down there. I don't know if I'd ever be normal again down there. 😞

What is a typical sleeping routine for an almost one month old..My baby doesn't sleep at all. I know that sleepless nights and days are warranted with a newborn but my boy doesn't sleep for more than 20mins once in a day and at night one stretch of 2.5-3 hours if lucky. After that it's waking up after every hour :( When can I expect it to get better? Any tips..Shouldn't babies be sleeping for 15-16 hours?!

Welcome to the world!! Born on October 28th at 41 weeks and 1 day weighing 8lbs 10 ounces! Labour was difficult 😢 but I can forget it all!

Update: My water just broke! Hope I start off with regular contractions in the next 24 hours so I don't need to get induced..Scared but excited!

Update: Had my membranes swept 24 hours ago..Had cramps and lower back pain the entire night but now it has settled. Lost a bit more of my mucus plug. Have another appointment on Tuesday and a Non Stress Test..Midwife plans on doing another sweep then. Anyone else gone overdue like this? 😢 How long after the sweep should I expect for anything to start?

Finally some action!! Lost my mucus plug this morning!! 💃☺. Let's see how much time it takes from here!

Waiting patiently!

Almost 38 weeks and getting menstrual like cramps, fatigued, sneezing and nose seems blocked. Could these be signs of labour starting soon. I want the baby to stay in for a week longer since my husband will be gone to Toronto for three days though my mom will be here then..I won't be able to do it without him 😨

Have to decide whether to go for a hospital or the Birth centre for the birth of my baby. I am hoping to go for an unmedicated delivery. I was lucky to get a midwife a couple weeks back. Let me know if you guys have any experiences with birth centres.

33 weeks and felt uncomfortable gastric like pains in my abdomen that were 18-20 mins apart..are they braxton Hicks or something else??..scared of a premature delivery :/. Everyone keeps telling me I'm carrying low and might go into labour early..
