Parents of NICU warriors

Hi to all the lovely mamas on here watching their little warriors through the incubator walls, this is probably the most helpless we’ve ever felt, but please know that your touch, voice and presence even for a few minutes with your baby gives them the power to fight. I have been there for 40 days now, and will probably be there for another 4 to 6 months. My baby was born at 22 weeks and 3 days, and she has overcame every dip since she was born, and those dips weren’t easy. We were told that she might not make it but she always did and is still fighting❤️ giving hope to all the parents out here, and would love to chat if you are having a hard time and would love to share the information about 22 to 24 week preemies that I have so far that you might not be able to find online, as I have struggled to until this day

C section or natural?

I am a control freak and thinking c section is the least stressful route for me and baby… less complications during labour etc. whilst acknowledging recovering can be hard.
If it could be guaranteed no tearing or complications then I would opt for natural and kind of want to experience the feeling.
Then again could plan and go either way 😂 arghh!
Anyone else in this predicament?

Period like cramps

Hi
I’m currently 33 weeks pregnant and I keep getting period like cramps I thought these were Brixton hicks but I’ve heard they only last 30 seconds ish as this can go on for a good time frame then go away and come back, they aren’t bad enough where I can’t do basic things they just feel like I’m about to get my period I’m jus wondering how normal this is? Baby is still very actively kicking xx

Has anyone ever had pain in the bone at the bottom of the lady area?

How I can only describe it is I feel like I have a fracture or the bone is broken right at the bottom of my vagina bone obviously don’t think it’s to the extent but that’s how it feels. I had it in my last pregnancy and the pain went few months postpartum now it’s back again with this pregnancy. These are the results that u e googled I think I may have the first one has anyone every had this or something similar

Midwife check

Can someone remind me when the midwife visits you at home? Is it the day after you’re discharged? And is that the same on the weekend or do they not visit then? Thanks!
