May 2024 🇬🇧

I’m due my 6/8 week check up at the doctors and was wondering what this actually entails? My birth went well, I did have stitches but I think they are all healed and have had no problems. Will I have to have an internal examination?

I ended up in triage last night due to really bad lower back pain and tightening across my stomach. I was monitored and cervix was checked and it’s not labour. But it’s ongoing even today, I think it’s when baby moves my stomach just feels really tight and hard? I’m honestly just so uncomfortable and not sure if this is normal.

I’m 20 weeks with my second baby, first LO is 15 months. I wouldn’t say I was 100% strict with doing pelvic floor exercises but I did do them sometimes and I feel like I could generally hold my bladder (although a bit less than before, nothing crazy).

Now since being pregnant I have noticed a massive difference!! When I’m coughing or jumping etc I am literally leaking, even when I have been to the toilet quite recently before. I often have to wear a pad now because it’s so bad.

I’ve starting doing more kegels again now but it’s making me seriously worried for after number 2 what it’s going to be like!!

Is this normal or should I be doing more about this?

Thanks!

I seem to have my glucose test booked in @ 13 weeks. I had GD last time and asked the midwife and she said I'd be tested at 26 weeks as normal. We then found out we are having twins so I'm thinking they may test early with twins. Does anyone know? I've messaged my midwife aswell
