It could be early labour if just mild. Contractions should get more and more intense as labour goes on!

Okay so best if I wait and just see if they get intense for now? :)

Ooo, you could be in the 5%! Good luck 🥰🥰

It's hard to say because everyone is so different. I just remember with my first when things really got going I couldn't talk during a contraction. Keep timing them and I suppose the rule is 3 "surges" in 10mins lasting at least 45 seconds which it looks like you are. Maybe call triage for reassurance?

You can have this on and off for few days. It can also stop altogether for a while or progress to more regular and stronger ones. Once you experience 3 in 10mins lasting min 45sec and you find it difficult to breathe through them, call the hospital. They will be able to assess whether you're ready to come in over the phone (that's usually when you're not able to talk to them because of the intensity of surges ;))

Thank you so much mamas 🥰❤️
I will then wait and see how it goes. I just called triage and she told me to wait and see and it goes and give them a call again if I am unable to speak or I Break my waters or loose my mucus plug (with a bit of blood in it)

Hope you're ok!! Good luck!

Thank you!!!! I am weirdly waiting for it to build up! I want my baby to be here 🥹
I feel dizzy and not really good but waiting and waiting to see how it goes!

Little updates!
I have been to triage as I started to feel nauseous and more paon in my belly. Apparently I might be in early labour but she said it can take hours or days for me to be in proper labour. She didn't wanted to do a cervix examination to avoid any risks of infection.

So now... I'll wait. I have contractions every 10 mins but need more than that per 10 mins and pain to the point I cannot talk to be in ''proper'' labour! :)

Hopefully it's not too much a wait for you!!!

Thank you ❤️🙏🏼 I hope so too...

C - section

Hello lovelies, I’m getting closer to my date of c section.

Can I ask how it all went for you? I felt prepared and now I have this awful feeling what if I bleed out! I’m sure that’s not the case. But I just wondered how it went, and how the aftermath was. I have seen on social media people say it’s horrendous but then I speak to friends and family and they’re like yeah it’s not easy but you can cope! You can walk, etc. I think it’s the unknown… lol!

Also were you all sick during your procedure and did you all get terrible trapped gas? If so what tips do you have xx

Just want to sleep again! 🫩

I wake up around 8.30am, have some cereal, meditate/pray for a bit, make a cuppa and then by 10am I’m tired again and could easily nap. My iron levels have been checked and were fine. Is it just me or is anyone else feeling like this? I’m currently 35 weeks pregnant 👀

Can you see anything? I’m 12 DPO 🙏

My own opinion is that this is inconclusive (can maybe see a vvvfl but could also be an indent too hard to tell) but curious what others see

Princess birthday party

My child will be turning 5 over the summer and they’ve asked for a princess party but keep changing their mind on which princess they’d like to most their party so have said I can choose 🙈 which princess would your child have chosen at a similar age or if you’ve been to a few princess parties which one was best?

cheating dream

i need advice but PLS DON'T JUDGE!!!
last night i had a dream, i always used to dream my partner cheating on me with my friends, or being super mean, but since we had our baby those dreams disappeared. for context, we haven't been able to have sex yet, I'm 12 weeks pp, and my pelvic floor is so tense, and it's awful.
last night i had a VERY weird dream, it was so realistic, and different from others, he handed me his phone, and ask me to help him handle this girl, like annoyed? in the chat this girl was super obsessive, and messaged him a lot before he replied. she asked him to sing a song to her, and he sent her a voice message singing it, and other voice messages i couldn't listen in the dream. i wrote her to stop, and she was angry, telling me he started it. then i confronted him about this (still in the dream) and he changed his attitude, he seemed so guilty and said to me he had deleted some messages. i don't remember much else, but i woke up with the URGE of checking his insta messages. we've been together for 5 years, and I've never checked his phone, and neither has he (that i know if, at least) and contained myself, but I'm still very much concerned about it. it felt like an epiphany, a revelation or smth like that. I know people might think I'm overreacting but i can't get it out of my head, it was so specific.
i though about asking him to show me, but i know he'll be bothered that i don't trust him (i would be too in his place), but if he's cheating he would say that to make me feel bad. also i thought about checking his phone in his sleep, and then ask him to see his reaction, but feel so bad, i wouldn't like if he went through my phone without asking, even tho I have nothing to hide.
please, be kind!!
