Anxious - slight pains

Hi

I’m almost 12 weeks and for almost 24 hours I’ve been having horrible sharp stabbing/shooting pains on the left side of my stomach has anyone else experienced this? I’m so anxious so it’s driving me mad!!

Girl - I got crippling pains the last few days. Turns out I just needed the toilet. Please try not to worry, but if you are, go to the EPU - put your mind at rest. Sending love🫶

Thank you I hope you are feeling better now ♥️ my anxiety is just driving me insane now 🤯🤯 everything’s making me panic!

I COMPLETELY understand. I’ve had 3 miscarriages and every bit of spotting, every little pinch had me crying and going to the hospital. If you’re worried ring the early pregnancy unit (I’d recommend waiting until Monday as they wouldn’t be able to scan you today) but if there’s no blood or cramps I think you’re ok! My midwife said, drink some peppermint tea, have a nap and try to use the toilet whenever I get left hand pain… 🫶 sending hugs! Keep me updated. Your 12 week scan will hopefully give you some peace of mind. When is it? 🫶

Also laying on your left side could help just incase baby is pressing on a nerve I’ve been having the same pains so I finally got myself a pregnancy pillow and I kid you not it’s working wonders … also try avoid laying on your back x hope this info helps x

Is this normal?

Is this little red bit on my section scar normal? It’s not oozing anything, doesn’t hurt but it’s the only bit on my scar like it so just curious! (19 days PP)
Thank you in advance! 🥰

Pregnant with baby 2

Hi everyone! I gave birth via emergency c section 9 months ago as my baby boy was measuring big, he pooped inside so there was risk of him inhaling it and I wasn’t progressing past 3cm to have a natural birth and now I’m currently 20 weeks pregnant with my 2nd baby. I’m having a consultation on Tuesday to talk about birth options and to have any questions answered but I don’t know what to ask. I feel like it would be safer having a c section again but at the same time I don’t want a c section. Does anyone have any question ideas I could ask or any advice/stories of similar situations. Tia

Anyone else felt like this?

Hi, I’m 4 months postpartum, little one sleeps through the night and is formula fed, the last week I’ve felt extremely tired and very hungry! Just wondered if anyone else has felt this way/experienced this?

Hey what are your current symptoms?

I’m 37+5

I’m pretty mobile still but anything over a hour or 2 and I’m in discomfort

Getting up from a sitting position is hard

Some of baby’s movements now are bordering on painful especially around my crotch/pelvis

I’m exhausted very easily and nap every single day

Can basically only breathe out my mouth now and I’m snoring and dribbling 😂

Standing in one leg is very painful 😂

Some waves of pain/ tightening but I regular and mild

Low period type aches

And I feel like a fire breathing dragon with this acid reflux

My nose is growing 😂

My fingers swell slightly and go numbs in my sleep so that and constant toilet breaks keep me up ( checked swelling with MW and consultant and all normal, not a worry)

I also do not want to be social in person like I’d rather everyone just be my penpal atm lol

What are your symptoms?

Planned c section

Has anyone had a planned c section and been home the same day?
