To go or not to go

Hello fellow mummies, apologize for reaching out again. I have been experiencing bleeding since 2am last night along with contractions. Today, when I visited KKH, I was only 1 cm dilated. They advised me to go back home. However, the contractions have intensified during the night... I am contemplating whether I should return and request a C-section or wait until my expected due date, which is Friday. Sleep seems impossible for me at the moment. The reason they refrained from inducing me today is due to my previous C-section, as they mentioned that induction could potentially rupture the previous scar and lead to internal bleeding... My visit today already cost me $115.. I am concerned that if I return today, they might send me back home again, resulting in another wasted trip and more medical expenses... I am uncertain about the best course of action.. Currently, the bleeding is like a menstrual flow.. Is it common to endure contractions (at a pain level of 7-8) for 2 days? It feels unbearable to me. Since my first child was overdue without any pain, I have never experienced natural contractions before.

38 weeks lost sense of taste and smell.

I'm currently 38weeks.. I do not have any flu symptoms. but I do not have sense of taste and smell for weeks... Whenever my toddler poops, I cannot smell and detect it in time... Now she has rashes.. 😭

It's common for pregnant women to experience changes in their sense of taste and smell due to hormonal fluctuations. At 38 weeks pregnant, the loss of taste and smell can be attributed to pregnancy-related changes in your body. It's reassuring that you do not have flu symptoms. To address your concerns about not being able to smell your toddler's poop, you can try relying on visual cues and scheduled diaper changes to ensure your child stays clean and rash-free. You can also consider using a diaper rash cream to help soothe and heal the rashes your toddler currently has. If you continue experiencing a loss of taste and smell even after pregnancy, it may be worth discussing this with your healthcare provider to rule out any underlying issues. In the meantime, focus on maintaining good hygiene practices and seeking help from other family members to ensure your toddler's needs are met. Remember to take care of yourself during this time and don't hesitate to reach out for support if needed. https://invl.io/cll6she

What should I do.

I'm experiencing stress and depression caused by my husband, and I don't feel comfortable sharing with him whether I go into labor with our second child. Should I go by myself?

Overwhelming 3rd trimester, just want to rant

I'm currently in my 3rd trimester, and today has been a really tough day for me. The scorching hot weather has been draining all my energy, and I feel like I'm stuck in a never-ending cycle of sadness. Despite feeling utterly exhausted, I pushed myself to pick up my 2yo daughter after work. But the weight of my empty bank account and the pile of unpaid bills hanging over my head is suffocating me. Even though I have a helper and my husband's support, I can't shake off this heavy cloud of sadness that looms over me. I don't know if it's my raging hormones or the constant financial struggles that are pulling me down. To make matters worse, payday feels like a distant dream, only coming around on the 20th of each month. And to add insult to injury, my part-time salary keeps getting delayed every single month. This is the first time in a long while that I'm unable to cover my insurance, and there's a real fear it might lapse this month. On top of all this, my husband seems to have been taken advantage of by a scammer bcos his rental car. The reason we have a helper and my husband has a car is because my husband, who has mild autism, finds it hard to understand certain things, and it's exhausting for me to keep explaining. All these struggles have drained me of the motivation to eat healthily, and I can't help but feel guilty for not taking better care of my little one growing inside me. I'm finding it hard to muster the enthusiasm to do anything else; all I crave is the solace of the air-conditioned office, away from the overwhelming demands of being a mother and a wife. But even there, a recent complaint has left me feeling utterly defeated. I'm desperately seeking guidance on how to turn things around and what foods can lift my spirits. Despite my overwhelming fatigue, the inability to fall asleep is driving me to the brink, making me feel like I'm losing my grip on reality.
