Lightning crotch is INTENSE

38 Weeks here. I have had a bit of lightning crotch for the past few months randomly but this week it has been on a whole another level. I am screaming in pain and it can last for up to a minute it seems - it is happening in the cervix area and rectum.
Anyone else?

Hospital bag period product

I was talking to a labor CNA and she suggested bringing period underwears because when you are sleeping you don't want blood everywhere. I'm already packing these. Was she talking about something else?

It was actually the easy way out

Sorry if anyone gets offended but I felt like my csection was easy.
For context my previous births were all water births with no tears or any complications then last baby I had an emergency category 1 c-section emergency buzzer and my baby was out less than 15 minutes after that was pulled.
I dont think I was caught up in adrenaline as I remember it all and remember being calm and relaxed and it just felt soo easy and I'm just curious if anyone else who also had a birth the other way and then a csection feels similarly.
Recovery a very different story and quite a struggle but the actual operation very easy.

Advice:(

Hello everyone,

I’m currently 7weeks and 3 days pregnant. Had a private scan at 6 weeks and 2 days, heartbeat seen, sonographer said everything looks beautiful. I just feel so anxious like it’s not, I had some light spotting but it was only on wiping last weekend, and it resolved within 24 hours but I haven’t been checked out since and I am still symptomatic sore breasts light cramping positive tests etc…, but I just feel so stressed. Apart from those few little symptoms I don’t feel pregnant at all. This is my second baby, and I’m really hoping for this to work, has anyone else experienced similar?

BV

I had a c section 7 weeks ago. I’ve had my 6 week checkup and was cleared. At the check up I asked to be tested for yeast because i had some discharge. My result came back I have BV. Is this common or anyone else going through it.

Early Labour or Braxton hicks

For the past 3 hours I’ve been having tightenings that are uncomfortable but not exactly painful every 7-9 minutes lasting approx 45 seconds. Could this be the start of Labour?
