Slow labour

So I'm 33 wks today, with my third baby and both my other two have been early (only a week and two weeks). I've had diarrhoea really bad since late hours of last night with mild contraction like pains but no pattern. My back is killing a lot more so then normal and I just feel drained, do you think this is just illness or maybe early labour? My partner has just had the snip today really not the best timing ha ha. Any advice is much appreciated ❤️

I’m 35 weeks and going through the exact same. I feel drained, generally unwell, diarrhoea and cramps and baby is putting a lot of pressure down on my bladder. I didn’t know how to explain it to my partner except ‘something is different’

I’m just going to rest and see what happens. I’ll either get sicker or start contracting I guess 🤣

The symptoms you're describing could be related to various things, and only a doctor or healthcare professional can adequately assess your situation. As a precaution, contact your obstetrician or go to the emergency room. It's always better to err on the side of caution when it comes to your and your baby's health. Take care! ❤️

Im 35 weeks tomorrow. This is me!!! ❤️ hope your okay, make sure you get some rest x

Thank you all, I ended up in and they checked me over, cervix is closed still and no waters broke so all good. Just Braxton Hicks made worse due to illness x

Day out after c section

Hey,
I had an emergency c section 1 week ago I obviously don't want a day out right now but I have things booked for the Easter holidays so in 2 weeks. I was just wondering if I will be overdoing it if I have a day out then or will I be ok? I would still take it as easy as I could. When did everyone feel good enough to go out?

Reduced Movements

Has anyone else gone in for monitoring for reduced movements and as soon as you arrive at triage the baby starts moving and the CTG is normal? It makes me feel like I am over reacting.

Newborn stage

Is anyone tired of doing the same thing everyday and being on a 2-3 hour schedule? It’s the same everyday and I feel like I’m losing my mind. It’s making me depressed even if I get out once a day. When does it get better? I feel like I’m just waiting for the next stage where it’s not just sitting around all day.
