Second trimester pains

Has anyone else experienced tightening in there second trimester? I am 22w+3 and feel a strange pressure in my lower abdomen, when I feel it it is hard, it only last a few seconds. This happens a few times a day


I was checked last week and my cervix was closed and long.


Just wondered if anyone else has had similar as I’m worried about premature labour

I've also been having these pains, its most likely braxton hicks (preparation contractions) they aren't anything to worry about. They can come on anytime after 20 weeks and they don't mean premature labour 🙂xx

I have this!! I’m only 17 weeks right now, but it’s just a pressure/tightness and I’m honestly putting it down to the baby being in that area, sometimes when I wake up needing the toilet, I think my bladder is full to the max but then I just wee the tiniest amount because that’s the sensation sometimes 🤣

Induction?

Anyone been induced before? Was it more painful? Better than thought? Worse than thought? Worth it? Thoughts?

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?

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

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

Homebirth?

I am thinking I want a homebirth (second baby) for a few different reasons but my husband is very against it, he is worried about things going wrong and we are a 30 minute drive from the hospital. Has anyone been in a similar position and what did you end up doing? Any advice? 🙏
