Nighttime cranping

Hi, for the last few nights I have been waking up due to cramping. It feels like im about to get my period. I feel like I need to pass gas or go to the toilet but can't. I don't know how to relieve this pain, it keeps me awake for hours. No bleeding or spotting. Anyone else experiencing something similar? Is there anything you take to help with digestion?

I’m dealing with the same. It was really bad in the beginning of my first trimester, went away while new symptoms appeared, and now that those are gone it’s back lol no advice, just know you’re not alone

I’m in my third trimester now and I had been experiencing cramping similar to period cramps. I was told it’s just the pain of everything stretching out as baby is growing and it’s completely normal. If it’s indigestion there wasn’t really anything I took that helped but I did find it was worse when I drank milk. I’ve not had it bad since cutting my milk intake down or switching to oat/coconut milk

I’ve noticed I feel a lot more in terms of stretching and pulling overnight, and definitely feel a lot more gassy. I’m not sure whether it feels like it’s ‘worse’ because you’re just lying in bed and not really moving much whereas in day you’re up and about and distracted if that makes sense? I also find that the longer I lie there thinking about it the worse it gets because I’m hyper focused on it! I’ve found that getting up for a few minutes helps slightly, although it’s terrible for my sleep quality!!
On a completely separate note, please could someone try to invite me to this group? There’s something wrong with my app that every time I try to join a group it tells me the group no longer exists even though it clearly does! X

they are so uncomfortable 😣 im having them during the day sometimes as well but I don't pay as much attention to it when im working. I have a hard time passing gas so im not sure if this has actually to do with my digestion. I have a scan tomorrow to see if everything is ok 🙏

I’ve had dull cramping sometimes at night I’m 8 weeks. Mine doesn’t wake me but it’s annoying going to sleep. I’m becoming restless at night. I have to snack to fall asleep. LOL

Pregnant with baby 2

Hi everyone! I gave birth via emergency c section 9 months ago as my baby boy was measuring big, he pooped inside so there was risk of him inhaling it and I wasn’t progressing past 3cm to have a natural birth and now I’m currently 20 weeks pregnant with my 2nd baby. I’m having a consultation on Tuesday to talk about birth options and to have any questions answered but I don’t know what to ask. I feel like it would be safer having a c section again but at the same time I don’t want a c section. Does anyone have any question ideas I could ask or any advice/stories of similar situations. Tia

I have a feeling like I might get attacked from this but I’m going to say it anyways. incognito 🥸 GLP1s being mainstream for regular people who are NOT diabetic or morbidly obese is bad for so many reasons 💉💉💉

Side affects, long term dependency, supply shortages and costs, regaining the weight back as soon as you get off them.. all that ASIDE how do people not see just from a zoomed out perspective how crazy it is. I can’t imagine being someone facing food insecurity in an underdeveloped country and watching westerners give themselves daily jabs so they can lose weight while still eating a calorie surplus/ crappy foods. It’s giving hunger games when district 12 Katniss finds out at the party at the capital that people eat and then take a pill to make themselves sick so they can 🤮 and eat some more. These ads running ozempic everywhere are disgusting, and then getting amazing athletes like Serena Williams to push them talking bout “i’ve never been healthier” girl you were an OLYMPIC athlete wym??

Getting pregnant after c section

When did you get pregnant again after a c section? Our plan was always to have 2 under 2 but that is now out the window because I had an emergency section. I know they say 18 months and we will be sticking to it (as much as I don’t want to) but I’m curious how quickly you got pregnant after your section?

Movements

I’m 28 weeks tomorrow. Yesterday I had loads and loads of movements but today I have only felt small flutters and a couple of kicks throughout the day. I get so confused as some people say they don’t have a pattern but others say they do. We have a Doppler so used it this evening and could hear the heartbeat and then moving but does anyone else get quieter days of movement than others? I am seeing my midwife tomorrow so will check but just find myself getting anxious about it and don’t know when to get checked. I know they encourage it but last time as soon as I got to triage baby started moving loads!
