Anyone else?

Hey guys. For the past few nights I've been having really strong contractions that wake me up around 2-3am. They're really painful and I time them for about an hour , they're always 10-15 mins apart. I end up falling asleep after about an hour then I wake up in the morning and im fine again. Just turned 38 weeks today. Had alot of early labour signs for the last 2 weeks but no show or waters . Does anyone else get these middle of the night contractions?

Iv had this! Iv also had contractions for the past two days and they can be so painful to the point I think baby’s comming, then few hours later it all stops. Iv had no shows or waters braking which is so frustrating as I constantly think I’m going into labour but it never happens so I really feel your pain!
Definitely going to follow your post as need to know if there’s more lady’s out there who have experienced this and if so how long after they went into active labour. Xx

I’m currently 38 weeks pregnant,
How far along are you? X

38 also!

I’ve been having these too! Especially in the night. I’m 39 weeks on Sunday x

so strange how they're always at the same time! I got them again last night at 2.30. A little closer together this time

Got them tonight/ early morning and woke up from my sleep. It wasn't very painful today but enough to wake me up and rub my belly/ baby

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??

Planned c section

Has anyone had a planned c section and been home the same day?

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!

Clogged ducts, eye gunk

Little Theo has been having really gunky eyes, we’ve taken him to the doctor and the a and e and they’ve said it’s most likely a clogged duct, anyone else’s baby have this and was there anything to do about it? I feel horrible constantly wiping his eye xx
