History of GBS positive

Blood clotting disorder & Previous still birth x

I have PCOS, a dodgy liver, hypermobility and a high(ish) BMI 😅 quite a combo! x

Low papp-a in nuscal :-(

Previous stillbirth at 26+6. Xx

Early onset preeclampsia & IUGR with first pregnancy and preterm birth at 32 weeks along with blood pressure problems that never went back to normal after birth and I have one small kidney. X

Mine was also high BMI and having a previous birth that was early... I also was a smoker before, which apparently made it high risk too..

Thank you for your replies
I have pcos
High blood pressure
Gestational diabetes
High bmi
And a partridge in a pear tree 🙊😬😅 … x

Ivf & bmi

I do have pcos but they didn’t list that as a reason

Cot death, 2 miscarriages and low birth weight baby ❤️❤️

Previous kidney stones and bmi (although I wasn't weighed till 12 weeks and I put on 1.5kg which tipped me over 30)

Taking long term medication and history of migraines x

Age and my medical cardiology condition as well as miscarriage before and pre eclampsia and few other bits.

Hyperemesis mainly - on a lot of perscription meds to control this x

Fibroids for me, I have a 4.5 cm one and a new 3cm one

Help

I was getting pretty painful period cramps and during those, I had painful lower back cramps. I had these on and off for like a few hours so from about 10:30pm to 1am?

I’ve had no show, or anything like that.

Is this braxton hicks or early labour pains?

Little girl turning herself sideways in next to me

My little girl tonight, has spun herself so she is lying sideways in her next to me, making me panic!

Is this normal at 4.5 months, do I just lie her back normally/vertically?

Labour??

I’ve had on/off mild period cramps since 9 last night, very irregular and very mild, but I just had one that woke me up. My waters haven’t gone and nor has my mucous plug… but could this be a sign that it’s close?! I’m 40+3 and desperate to meet her!

Ways to induce labor naturally

Hi All! FTM, Entering week 40 and no signs of labor, no dilation yet. Please share tips and ways to induce natural labor. Induction is already scheduled on week 41 but don’t want to go through that process.

Clear blue stuck on 2-3 weeks for over a week

Please tell me your experience if this happened to you, I am spiralling 😭

Early waters/pre term labour?

I can’t get checked until later today unfortunately. I can’t tell if I’m leaking/starting early. I definitely think I’m having braxton hicks yesterday and today.. i have some pain in my back but she is quite low down so hoping it’s just pressure, baby was a little quieter yesterday but she’s back to more normal movements today, but my underwear just seems to get so wet, especially after going to the bathroom. And I honestly can’t work out the smell, I’m pretty sure it’s just discharge/urine leaking but there’s that worry in my mind a little. Are there any other ways to know/check if it could be the start of it all?
