September 2023 Babies 🇺🇸

Is this a sign of labor?

I just had the strongest pain ever in my lower right side of stomach that lasted for about 3-5 mins. The pain eased a bit, then got more painful, and went away.

Omw to the ER now contractions are nonstop

Im sorry you were experiencing this pain, i believe I had this similar pain happen last week that came on gradually on the right side and it was the worst I thought I was going into labor too. Turns out my baby is breech and that pain was him trying to turn upside down but he couldn’t make the full turn, so he was in transverse position for a while and pushing in the right side is probably was what made it hurt. Do you know if your baby is breech by any chance? Good to call your doctor to let them know you experienced this

last time I went to the doctor last week she was head down this pain has been constant now for the past hour

good to know she is head down, sounds like you could be going into labor if not soon! Best of luck to you and your baby girl 💕💕

thank you!🩷

Update, the contractions has eased up since then but I’m only dilated to a 2 😭😭

Reduced Movements

Has anyone else gone in for monitoring for reduced movements and as soon as you arrive at triage the baby starts moving and the CTG is normal? It makes me feel like I am over reacting.

Newborn stage

Is anyone tired of doing the same thing everyday and being on a 2-3 hour schedule? It’s the same everyday and I feel like I’m losing my mind. It’s making me depressed even if I get out once a day. When does it get better? I feel like I’m just waiting for the next stage where it’s not just sitting around all day.

Labour

Think im a bit confused really, i went into traige as was having contractions eveey 3-5mins. Since being here im now having them every 2-3mins which was confirmed with the machine and i think the toco was 90-100 and they feel painful and my lower back is in loads of pain but apparently im only just over 2cm dilated maybe, she has said i can stay here for a bit longer to see if things progress as had a previous quick birth as well but i dont understand why the pains are coming this quick if im only 2cm dilated and feel a bit deflated from it also.

I had a sweep this morning also.

Pregnancy after c section

What time scale did everyone get pregnant again after a c section?
I know the doc said they recommend eating at least a year to 18 months but it took 4 years to get pregnant the first time after being told we could not conceive naturally so not wanting to stop it happening knowing it could take a very long time again but also worried.

Hospital bag (UK)

What did everyone pack for their section? I'm staying in for 3 days due to mental health, not really sure what I'll need to bring, feeling very nervous. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!
