Is this normal ?

Going to try and keep this short as possible. My baby has been trying to get her left foot for weeks, she finally did it a few days ago, but she’s just not interested in the right foot. She looks at it a couple times, but not bothered by it, she puts her hand on her right knee but that’s as far as it goes or even t...

Help

I’m nearly 29 weeks, baby has very strong movements usually and is very active. For the past 20 mins I’ve been getting a really light tapping where she usually kicks but it’s like every 3 seconds.

'Nesting'

I woke up this morning at 6.30 and from 6.45am I had this burst of energy and sudden urge to clean everything in sight, even down to skirting boards, washed the doors, kitchen cupboards, pulled everything off the sides, bleached both bathrooms and floors. Literally cleaned my whole house within a few hours. I am now...

C-section hip/groin pain

Has anyone else experienced a constant dull ache in their left hip/groin post C-section with occasional very sharp pains? I’m 16 days post C-section and paracetamol, ibuprofen and dihydrocodeine isn’t doing much pain wise. Incision all looks ok so not sure what is going on 🤷‍♀️
