Forceps delivery advice!

I had forceps delivery a couple of days ago and wonder how the after care should look? I’m in lots of pain in lower back and when I stand up I get a gush of blood. Unsure what is classed as too much blood. How much pain should I be in?

Gloucester Royal stay and parking

How long do you stay in hospital after giving birth? Do you go home straight after or do you stay in 1 or 2 nights? What does it depend on? I’m not sure how it works! Also, where do you park so you’re not rinsed with parking fees as I’m aware labour can take hours and hours 😳

Bleeding/spotting after sex?

I'm 38 weeks pregnant and had sex with my partner about 2hrs ago. Went to the toilet after all was fine, just went for a wee and there was blood. Not a lot but a bit more than spotting. First time I've bled at all throughout. Should I be concerned? Is it just because my cervix has been irritated?

When did you resume having a life outside of the house postpartum?

I know having a life could look different post-baby. So I guess I mean when did you have the energy to go on regular outings, attend church or your normal group activities, etc. I’m 5 weeks postpartum and just have the energy to feed baby, do some light cleaning, and have a few visitors sometimes. Hoping I’m not tot...
