Hey! I had this plus a lot of lower back pain last night. 34 weeks with twins, I had it a few weeks ago and my doctor told me to let them know when it happens so last night I called and they had me go in to check. After 4 hours or so, some monitoring, they sent me home and said it’s probably just practice contractions and not active labor

Does it feel like some tightening in your muscles too? Could be Braxton Hicks contraction. My OB told me not to worry unless they are regular, like a certain amount of time long every few minutes or every half hour or hour. Or if it’s accompanied by bleeding.

no tightening

I feel like its constipation pain and still very scared

you might want to co tact your OB or the delivery hospital and ask them

Your intestines are smashed right now because of the baby, so it could very well be your body just trying to digest food. But def contact your OB if your concerned!

I had this happen this past weekend. It would last for seconds then go away. I called my ob and had a nurse go over my symptoms. She said it could be constipation? I upped my water intake this week and started walking more. Haven’t felt them since but to give them a call back if it continues and/or if I notice any else different.

My nurse said the same ,its constipation

C - section

Hello lovelies, I’m getting closer to my date of c section.

Can I ask how it all went for you? I felt prepared and now I have this awful feeling what if I bleed out! I’m sure that’s not the case. But I just wondered how it went, and how the aftermath was. I have seen on social media people say it’s horrendous but then I speak to friends and family and they’re like yeah it’s not easy but you can cope! You can walk, etc. I think it’s the unknown… lol!

Also were you all sick during your procedure and did you all get terrible trapped gas? If so what tips do you have xx

Can you see anything? I’m 12 DPO 🙏

My own opinion is that this is inconclusive (can maybe see a vvvfl but could also be an indent too hard to tell) but curious what others see

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 👀

Best way to be induced??

I just found out I may need to be induced early due to preeclampsia and having a generally bigger baby which of the ways to be induced do y’all recommended?

This is a bit strange.. but hear me out

I am 36 weeks and 4 days today.
I had that feeling, you know when you are trying to take a tampon out on your end of period and it kind of hurts because the tampon is dry? I had that sensation today?

Now I feel like I have to push something about my vagina? It kinda tickles but uncomfortable. I’m not having any pains at all anywhere btw so can’t be baby ??
