Back labor

If you’re having back labor do you also feel pelvic contractions or can it just be a constant back pain?
Im 40+1 and just lost some mucus plug (no blood yet) and all day have been having intense lower back pain near my hips different from the normal back pain and am wondering if this is a sign?

Mines not necessarily coming and going it’s been constant maybe with moments of more pain but it’s hard to tell but it hurts a lot

Did the back labor pain come and go like contractions or just stay constant?

Almost all my pain was in my lower back too. 🤷

I hardly felt contractions at the front I felt them in lower back/bum , they were sooooo painful xx

I had back labor. I didn’t feel anything in the front. It was definitely consistent contractions in my back though! Not a constant pain

Could be pressure from baby moving down into your pelvis and being sunny side up. Try doing some spinning babies exercises if you can and that should turn baby and alleviate the pain

I had back labour that ended in an emergency c section but when I was having contractions it was mainly in my lower back, it was really painful in my back. I struggled to stay still lying down (I had to stay in the bed lying down due to hormone drip) I did feel a little in the front towards my sides but mainly back c

Heart murmur

Took my 4 month old to the GP yesterday for something unrelated and when checking him over they heard a heart murmur. That didn’t say too much and scheduled another GP appointment for next week. Just wondering if any other mummas babies have had one and what their journeys were/if baby just grew out of it. Thank you x

UK Mums: If you had an assigned midwife for your first pregnancy, but not your 2nd. Were you a bit disappointed?

For my first pregnancy I was blessed with having an assigned midwife that I saw every appointment. She was absolutely amazing, so I guess I was spoiled in that sense. This pregnancy, I see a different midwife every appointment and I am a bit disappointed. Before anyone jumps on my back I know it is not guaranteed to have an assigned midwife. It is just hard when each midwife answered my question differently at each appointment and it took the epilepsy clinic (was referred due to having seizures in the last) to give me the actual answer. I also keep getting told that if I have any general questions to contact MAU, but I always thought they were there for urgent matters? Anyways sorry for rambling, I am just a person that feels at ease with consistency 😭

Burnout

I have the odd day (like today) where I feel completely wiped out, without energy, physical especially, even if I had we good night sleep. I try entertaining baby as much as I normally do but it's a lot! Don't know if it's burnout or what.. will mention to gp in case I have some deficiency but again it's not everyday. Baby is only 4 months, am I too old?? And we'd like another at some point 🙈 don't know how mums of multiples do it

First time leaving the house with newborn

Has anybody managed to step outside since the baby arrived? We were considering starting super local, 10 min by car to somewhere where we can go on a pram walk or cafe. But we were wondering if this is safe, given the baby has no vaccines yet. What’s everyone doing?

Braxton hicks

Where do you feel these in your belly ? Top or bottom?
