May 2026 Babies 🇬🇧

Hi I’m currently 33 weeks pregnant and I keep getting period like cramps I thought these were Brixton hicks but I’ve heard they only last 30 seconds ish as this can go on for a good time frame then go away and come back, they aren’t bad enough where I can’t do basic things they just feel like I’m about to get my period I’m jus wondering how normal this is? Baby is still very actively kicking xx

Anyone else really struggling?

I’m really low and sad and have already spoken to my midwife about it which was great as she was super supportive and held my hand, then sent me onto the doctor who could only listen as I don’t want to be put on antidepressants right now as they don’t usually work straight away anyway. I have been referred to a team for helping mum to be and mothers with postnatal depression but not sure how long that may take.

Just wanted to know if anyone else felt the same. I’m unsure if it’s because im so sore now and fed up, or just a number of reasons

Is anyone else going to the extreme and really anxious about having a still birth and then all your hopes and dreams getting squashed?

Everything i do hurt . I sit down / i stand up / i walk / i lie down. I am in pain ! I am tired ! His mouvement hurt down there like electricity chock ! My back is on fire ! If i walk more then 5 minutes i feel like i am going to die ( low ferritine) the acid reflux is crazy . I mean i can’t and don’t wanna do this no more . Only 31 weeks !

Any recommendations on what nappies to purchase for our little ones? I’ve brought some Aldi ones , Tesco ones and Pampers so far x
