It’s very normal and fortunately does go away but when I can’t say as it’ll be individual. Your breastfeeding & oxytocin is helping your womb contract back down. Sending love and strength ❤️. Congratulations on your little love xx

I know it sucks, but try to think of it as a good thing. It's helping your uterus go back down to a normal size and helping you heal.

Can take some paracetamol to take the edge off but it’s good and helping your womb contract back down x

Hopefully eases off soon, I had this for around 24 hours and then maybe another few days of mild twinges when breastfeeding. As others have said, not super pleasant but totally normal

Ibuprofen and paracetamol

A heating pad really helped me, I’d just put a towel between the pad and baby while he was feeding to make sure he wouldn’t feel the heat.

Finding out gender

Has anyone found out the gender at a private scan at 14 weeks? And has this been accurate?

I found out at 17 with my first but I know a scan place that offers from 14/15 weeks and I’m impatient 😂🥲

Hi

Hi guys so I’m 25 weeks today and I haven’t felt the baby kick at all yet at the scans she’s moving constantly that it’s hard to get the right measurements my first pregnancy was cryptic so I just want suggestions from one worried mother

Induction?

Anyone been induced before? Was it more painful? Better than thought? Worse than thought? Worth it? Thoughts?

Baby names

My daughter‘s name is valentýna and I’m struggling to find other nice girl and boy names beginning with V I’ve got a few and I’ve got loads that aren’t beginning with V, but I feel like I wanna go for all vs and I also love girl and boys names that match so because my daughter’s name is valentýna I would love to call my son Valentino my husband does not agree 😃
