This is my third pregnancy and I’ve never had them this early

Yes it’s normal 😊

Yep, been getting them for weeks im 18 weeks

Mine are horrendous I hardly got them with my youngest so having them this time is hard for me

Yeah I'm getting them too and this is my 4th baby x

How do you know its braxton hicks and not just Ligament pain or constipation or anything like that? Sorry just curious as I haven't had a baby before so don't really know what contractions feel like

Tummy goes tight and hard. X

third baby and you get tighteness and some people get it not just in there stomach but their back too and it makes feel like you have to breathe heavily

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?

Period like cramps

Hi
I’m currently 33 weeks pregnant and I keep getting period like cramps I thought these were Brixton hicks but I’ve heard they only last 30 seconds ish as this can go on for a good time frame then go away and come back, they aren’t bad enough where I can’t do basic things they just feel like I’m about to get my period I’m jus wondering how normal this is? Baby is still very actively kicking xx

Invited to a chuckie cheese party but I don't have money and don't want to tell my daughter that's why we can't go. Does anyone know how their parties work?

I'm not sure how chuckie cheese parties are. If they give you money to play or not if you're in the party. And then I'm wondering if it's an actual birthday party or if they're just going to chuckie cheese. Some guy in my building told me a couple weeks ago that his son's birthday is today and he's thinking of doing chuckie cheese. They sent an invite but I feel so insecure not being able to afford anything. Like if they don't have food for example. Idk what to do.
