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.

Just want to sleep again! 🫩

I wake up around 8.30am, have some cereal, meditate/pray for a bit, make a cuppa and then by 10am I’m tired again and could easily nap. My iron levels have been checked and were fine. Is it just me or is anyone else feeling like this? I’m currently 35 weeks pregnant 👀

Possible blood clot on the lung /VQ scan

Has anyone had a VQ scan for possible blood clots. As I need to have to have one and concerned due to the radiation and possible risk of baby having childhood cancer.

Review at 36 weeks

Has anyone had An anesthesia review at 36 weeks?
What is this for as I never had this with my first?
I am being scanned every 3 weeks as my first was small and now my second is measuring small.

Baby girl names

Love pretty shorter names such as Millie, Gracie, Lottie. My husband only likes Millie and I’m struggling to find anything else he likes! However I’m not 100% on Millie.

Love Lilly, Maisie, Isabelle, Tilly but sadly can’t use these sadly.

We have a little boy called Oliver (Ollie).

Middle name will be Rae.

Any ideas?🙈

Anyone else still feeling really good

If I hadn’t of had a scan I wouldn’t believe I was pregnant. I was tired with sore boobs and this is still the case but no where near as much. I feel so good. I am incredibly bloated though but I can deal with that. My first pregnancy I suffered with dizziness really bad so this is a pleasant change.
