Eeek! I was told to contact my OB if I felt strong cramps! I would call and ask them for an ultrasound. It could be normal, but better be safe!

Could be your uterus growing but I would deff check with OB

I’ve also been having lower abdominal pains all day since yesterday afternoon. But I’ve been just accounting it to constipation. I’m 24 weeks and baby is moving pretty regularly throughout the day. The pain only last for a few seconds then goes away…but it has happens several times throughout the day. I will check with my OB if I don’t have any relief by tomorrow.

You might be experiencing lightening crotch. I believe it's from the baby hitting nerves. Some ladies experience it throughout pregnancy

Oh wow,lightning crotch sounds like the perfect description 🤣🤣it is pretty suttle& not happening too often but i have experienced this a lil (in at 21 weeks)

@Sharlay Alexandra lol I've never had it with my son or my daughter but I had a coworker tell me about it and I was like ooof hopefully I never have to experience this😂

Thank you ladies, well apparently it was none of this, it was a bladder infection that was spreading to my Kidneys, (im diabetic) so the medication they were prescribing me for a UTI was not doing it for me, so iv had the infection for some months, which is the cause of my pain. I was admitted into the hospital on Monday, while they do studies and give me stronger medication. But when I go home, I will be on a daily pill to prevent any more UTI. Trust your gut and get checked, sometimes its just not normal.

Glad you did. Didnt mean to give bad advice. It was normal in my case i suppose. Glad you got it taken care of

@Elizabeth I'm also glad you got a second opinion! I hope they can get the infection under control! UTIs are no joke for sure.

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

C section or natural?

I am a control freak and thinking c section is the least stressful route for me and baby… less complications during labour etc. whilst acknowledging recovering can be hard.
If it could be guaranteed no tearing or complications then I would opt for natural and kind of want to experience the feeling.
Then again could plan and go either way 😂 arghh!
Anyone else in this predicament?

Midwife check

Can someone remind me when the midwife visits you at home? Is it the day after you’re discharged? And is that the same on the weekend or do they not visit then? Thanks!
