27 weeks pressure

I’m 27 weeks pregnant. I’ve had a lot of reduced and virtually no fetal movement for a few days I’ve been to triage and had a scan and everything’s fine. However in the last hour I’ve felt a sort of sudden pressure or ‘drop’ in my lower stomach and it hasn’t gone away. Is this normal or should I be concerned?

Hi beaut, ive felt like my babys very low. (I was on a family walk had an urgent need to pee in the woods 🙈 had go but when i got down honestly i felt like the baby could of fell out) ive had loads of pressure but on the scans he breeched so he isnt coming out yet im 28 +2 i found my babys movements have slowed but ive woken up at night and he kicking loads so woundering if its because im asleep. They do worry us. This is my 3rd pregnacy my last 2 went over due date. I feel like this one going see him early which i dont mind as long as it isnt too early. I dont want a december baby lol x

that’s what I’ve been like! I literally had to stop walking cos I felt like if I moved he would fall out! This is my first so I’ve no idea what’s going on hahahaha x

@Georgia Quinn they told me on my scan he is low. Ive had pressure before but at the end of pregnancy. I think it all depends on how baby is lying try not worry to much. Im leaving work early cause of all this. 12hour shifts and feeling like the baby going fall out isnt good. Lol ive also thought about putting sanitary pads in the fridge cause i feel so swollen down there at times. Just think not long now x

Anxiety

I’m 10 weeks and I have had so much anxiety probably for the last 2-3 weeks I already deal with anxiety but it was a tad bit easier shaking it off when I wasn’t pregnant.. I am on medication but doesn’t seem to be doing much tbh— I see a lot of yall say it’s a first trimester thing but this is my 3rd baby and I don’t remember being this anxious especially bc sometimes I’m just laying and heart rate reaches the the 120s am I the only one? Please help with suggestions. I don’t want to feel like this.. I know pregnancy is hard but fudge this makes it’s harder 😔😔😔

Boy or girl?

I’ve just discovered the nub theory and this is my 4th baby. Anyone take a guess?

So ready for second trimester 🥲

I really really hate the first trimester. It’s exhausting, no appetite, not enough hours to get the amount of sleep I need, headaches, smell sensitivity, and overall just feeling like crap! And I don’t want to announce anything until 14 weeks since I’ve had losses before, and it’s getting really hard to hide it from my friends. Two more weeks to go….

Just needed to vent to others who understand!

39 weeks pregnant FTM

39 weeks baby hasn’t come yet and I am just full of anxiety. I am trying to relax. I am trying to chill, but I can’t chill. I do not want to be induced. I would love to have her natural. Issue is I am tight down there and petite and baby is measuring big like the head especially. I know that measurements can be off. But I have photos! And she is a chunk. This is so unpredictable. How do I just put my faith forward and trust in God and how do I let go of this anxiety? I am doing fine and then boom it hits me and I want to ball my eyes out. I am trying to treat myself and do little things but driving or doing anything is so hard now and I’m so huge and uncomfortable …I’m at my breaking point 😭

SPPH (secondary postpartum haemorrhage) due to retained placenta -D&C?

Looking to see if anyone else has experienced this? Currently trying to pass retained tissue ( 4 weeks pp) and finding every day so exhausting just constantly waiting and checking my bleeding. I stopped bleeding on week 2.5/3 then bleeding picked up last Saturday and I haemorrhaged on Thursday morning with a rush to hospital. Everyday since I’m waking up scared I’ll be bleeding out. Worried to go toilet to check, I’m not convinced I’ll be passing it naturally and I’m worried I’ll need a D&C… has anyone had this? My retained tissue is 2cm so they said it’s small but I have no signs of passing it or blood changing colour to show slowing down.
