Pelvic pain

Anyone else got severe pain from baby pushing so low ? But no sign of labour. Sometimes I think the pain is contractions but actually it seems to be when baby moves . So I’m wondering if pain when baby moves is normal ? And generally walking around (or trying to). I’m 39 + 1. Got a sweep booked for exactly 40 weeks...

Early Labour?

I have pains in my lower abdomen, coming at least every 11 minutes not lasting more than a minute. Sometimes they linger and I would get a few pains within that time. Back aches but nothing unbearable yet. Is this labour?

Am I feeling movement or not?

I'm 20 weeks pregnant and I have not felt any movement within my tummy from baby boy, but I swear I can feel movement with my hand if I lay it flat on the bottom of my belly and wait awhile. Would it make sense to feel movement from the outside but not inside or is it just wishful thinking/ feeling?

Struggling with this pregnancy

I know it won’t last forever but it feels like it will. The symptoms are really getting me down now. I have no energy at all and feel like I’m going to faint any moment.

Pink spotting at 7.5 weeks

I’ve just been to the toilet & had this pink spotting. I know some spotting can be normal in early pregnancy but I’m so worried because it’s pink blood & not brown. Has anyone had pink spotting before and gone on to have a healthy pregnancy? Had a mmc in January and feeling so so anxious 😥😥
