Period smell?

Hi guys I’m 37 weeks and I was wondering if there’s a reason why it smells like period blood down there? For a sec I really thought I was on my period but remembered I’m pregnant 😂 does it mean I’m close to labor? I’ve been having bad period like cramps and at times sharp pains like as if he’s about to come out.…

37+4.

I used the bathroom about 30 mins ago, & I was spotting a little more than this.. I haven’t had any pains but this morning I did have a little more discharge than usual; but it wasn’t thick at all, & it was clear.

Birth experience

Does anyone else feel like their birth experience changed them as a person? I’m very grateful I had such a positive experience giving birth to my son. I feel so empowered and like a brand new person, but also kinda lonely as I have no one to talk to who understands.

Weird question

I’m 36 1/2 weeks. The last few days I have felt like my vagina is being stretched, like from the inside. I haven’t had any painful contractions or any pain at all but I’ve also been kind of constipated, so when I push it almost feels like there is something inside my vagina that I’m pushing out too. I haven’t got ch...

Pain on labia and clitoris PP?

Does anyone else have a pain on their outer labias and clitoris area? I randomly get these shocking pains that feels like my labia area(I think) cramps up. I get it from doing things like walking up the stairs and especially when I go to sit on the toilet. I feel like I need to lift one cheek off and shift the press...

Any boy name suggestions?

His las name would be Moen. His brother’s name is Soren. Any suggestions? We love unique names. So far we like Carson and Elijah, but those aren’t quite sticking for me either.

First time mommy

Hey all I am 5 weeks and omg I found out at 4 weeks. I’ve been experiencing really bad pelvic pains and constipation. The doctor says it’s normal. I’m so mad I can’t take pain medicine or use a heating pad. Has anyone went through this any suggestions? I literally have gotten any good sleep for the past week.

Tips to help start labor?

Hi mamas! So I am currently 36 & 5 and I’m scheduled for a c-section on June 4th but I honestly would rather try vbac. With my first pregnancy, I was 7cm dilated before I had to have an emergency c-section.
