PP bleeding

I’m just over 2 weeks PP now and I’m worried about the colour of my bleeding. It’s a very dark brown and has been for about a week now. Also getting a lot of stomach pains especially after eating or drinking. Is the colour normal? When I say dark I mean dark dark brown. TIA

Movements

I’ve not really felt my baby kick that much since last night I’m now 41+1 and I’m starting to get major anxiety. What are the chances if I went to the hospital for reduced movements that they’ll keep me in for an induction since I’m so far along?

Is it a problem that my baby isn't sitting still?

If I put her in a sitting position then, after a fight to get her to bend at the hip, she will sit however it doesn't really last long and she'll go on her tummy instead. When she wants to be upright she'll kneel with her legs in the W position which I know isn't great for them. Technically she's still upright kneel...

Eye discharge

Please help! My 2 month old has an eye discharge (green) since couple of days after he was born. I asked the pediatrician about it and she said is “ normal”. She said it will go away and is due to his eye tear ducts being so small and not fully developed. Has this happened to your baby????
