Hey mommas, so I've been having pelvic pain for a while now but last night it got really bad it put me in tears just to move my leg or roll over in bed. I started having contractions last night and having now as well but no near as intense. Today it hurts to walk or sit or stand. I never experienced this with my son until the day he was born.. any helpful tips would be greatly appreciated. I'm scheduled to be induced in 8 days...

My lifesaver? Padsicles. Holy crap these things were the bomb. My sister made me hundreds of them and they were waiting in my freezer when I got home from the hospital. I believe she used organic witch hazel, lavender essential oil, and aloe vera gel. She bought heavy duty, fragrance free pads and soaked them with the mixture. You then fold them back up in it's packaging and freeze. I will for sure be begging for these again the second time around. 😅
