Currently 32 weeks pregnant with my first and starting to think a lot more about labour, recovery, and the postpartum period.

I’ve focused a fair bit on staying active and healthy during pregnancy, but I’m realising there’s probably loads of things people only learn after the fact 😅

For those who’ve been through it, what do you wish you’d known during pregnancy that would have made a meaningful difference to labour, post partum recovery or just your general mental health?

Particularly interested in practical things that actually made a difference rather than generic advice!

Would love all the “I wish someone had told me…” advice - especially from active/fitness-minded mums who maybe struggled with the sudden loss of routine/independence too ❤️

Looking for advice!

On Saturday, a TFL bus crashed into my car when I was parked in an appropriate bay. Luckily I was in the car because the bus driver tried to drive off! The driver was very aggressive regardless of me remaining calm, which is more surprising considering I am 7 months pregnant. We have contacted TFL today and they have offered to pay for all damages (inc. supplying a replacement car whilst ours is fixed) but wont accept liability. It is clear (and evidenced from their bus cameras) that the bus is in the wrong.

Shall I push back on the fact that they aren't accepting liability, and why aren't they? Is it just so we cant contact them in a few years claiming medical damages (which we wouldn't do anyways). Could this impact our insurance down the line?
