Labour signs

This is my first baby, I’m 37+3 weeks pregnant, the past 2 days my belly as went really tight and sore and the pressure down below is insane. I’ve been getting a lot of discharge coming away not sure if it’s the plug or not. Constantly needing to go for a number 2 as well. Barley slept last night he was so active and my belly was tight and cramp like pains right along the bottom. I haven’t had any bloody show or my waters break yet. When I went to my last growth scan this week his head was engaged to. Can anyone tell me is this signs of labour about to start or what it could be?

This is literally my life!!! I’ve been told it is your body building up to it!! I’m the exact same!! Every time I wee im desperately looking for a mucus plug, but I think im loosing mine slowly as im the same with discharge!

I actually read today, that you can lose it all at once or in small amounts. Which I think is what’s happening. A hate this slow waiting game x

yeah it’s killing me now!! You just can’t stop thinking about going in to labour, it feels like it’s never going to end 😭😭

Omg I get so excited when my body does these pain things even though it KILLS! But then a night of suffering from the cramps and eagerness of the arrival, they just stop. And then I’m normal again 🙃 with my first, I had it on/off for 2 weeks and then baby came. I didn’t lost my plug until I was in labour in the delivery room! X

Small head reported following 20 week scan

Has anyone else had it flagged that their baby is in the bottom 5th percentile for head size?

They said everything was fine whilst we were in the scan and then I got a phone call the next day saying that it’s on the small side and we’re being referred to a paediatric specialist at St George’s. Has anyone else had this and how did things go??

Would you bring 9 week old to a family party of 35+ people?

These are also people who will want to pass the baby around and get a turn to hold him. He just got his 2 month shots two days ago

Exercise 6 weeks after c section

What movement did people start to introduce? I won’t do anything too vigorous until I’ve seen the pelvic physio as I don’t want to compromise anything that may have been extremely weakened through pregnancy! But just wondering what types of classes/movement people started off with?

Is this normal??

I’m 29 weeks pregnant and having really aching legs and they’re all lumpy and swollen. Above the knee and behind the knee . Should I be worried ? My legs have never looked like this up until a few days ago. ??
