Sex/Masturbation

I’m just curious is sex/masturbation a good thing for the pregnancy? Like when I have sex with my husband or even if I’m going solo I have contractions once I’m done… is that normal??

Unless you’ve been told otherwise by a health care provider, sex and orgasms are totally fine in pregnancy

ok because I didn’t have the contractions with my first 2 so I wasn’t sure

I’m not trying to tell you wrong but it might not be contractions fully. Pregnancy changes our uterus and everything surrounding. It could just be a more intense spasm of your body. Bring it up to the doctor if it really concerns you, it’s not funny or stupid.

well I mean the stomach is definitely tightening and the pain radiates to my back. It’s definitely a contraction cause it hurts like hell afterwards my biggest fear is making him come too early I mean he’s my 3rd but I don’t want him here before time

It's normal, they are Braxton Hicks, I always got them too. Totally ok x

Scan needed at 33 weeks

Hi ladies! I just had a midwife appointment (I am 33+5)..the midwife was different to my usual midwife. She's requested I have a scan within 72 hours as she said baby is measuring a little small, however, she did say that it's likely nothing to worry about and it's probably just her measuring me a bit different to my usual midwife. Has anyone else had this? Am a bit worried although babys heartbeat and movements are completely fine.

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 😃
