15w lower stomach cramps!

Hey everyone.
The last few days I’ve occasionally been experiencing pains in my lower stomach a little similar to period pains (but not as bad as actual period pains). Mainly noticing it at night when I get into bed. It wears off after a while but it’s been really worrying me!!!! I’m not sure if it’s round ligament pains because I’ve had them before and they’re a lot sharper/instant and on the sides for me. I’ve not had any bleeding which is why I’m trying not worry.
Anyone else had anything similar?

Hi, yeah I have these pains as well. I'm 14 weeks. It feels like a slight pulled muscle pain near my belly button. I've asked a few people I know and they think it is ligament pain due to uterus expanding. I get what you mean it's really nerve racking to feel any pain. I've been trying so hard not to Google everything lol. Tbh that's why I love this app so much. xx

I’m 14 weeks today and having such bad cramping that comes and goes all day. No bleeding either so trying not to panic. I have no idea how to distinguish round ligament pain as I’ve never felt it before. Also questioning if it’s constipation from being put on iron tablets as never experienced that before either! Pregnancy is so stressful 😅

I’m having the same thing. Also had a really awful cough lately and it hurts to cough so I’m thinking it’s a mixture of it all!

For a week I was feeling so bad because of the constipation and I’m also taking iron tablets, however for the past 3 day the pain was focused on my lower belly exactly on the right side where I know is the baby, even pee was so painful, it felt like there was a knife stuck in it perpetually.
I spent the night in the emergency on Saturday morning and the doctor told me only “from your urinalysis you’re pregnant” and when I asked why I have such a pain, his answer was “can be many things”. After 9 hours waiting I left the hospital without no answers.

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

I have a feeling like I might get attacked from this but I’m going to say it anyways. incognito 🥸 GLP1s being mainstream for regular people who are NOT diabetic or morbidly obese is bad for so many reasons 💉💉💉

Side affects, long term dependency, supply shortages and costs, regaining the weight back as soon as you get off them.. all that ASIDE how do people not see just from a zoomed out perspective how crazy it is. I can’t imagine being someone facing food insecurity in an underdeveloped country and watching westerners give themselves daily jabs so they can lose weight while still eating a calorie surplus/ crappy foods. It’s giving hunger games when district 12 Katniss finds out at the party at the capital that people eat and then take a pill to make themselves sick so they can 🤮 and eat some more. These ads running ozempic everywhere are disgusting, and then getting amazing athletes like Serena Williams to push them talking bout “i’ve never been healthier” girl you were an OLYMPIC athlete wym??

Planned c section

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

Getting pregnant after c section

When did you get pregnant again after a c section? Our plan was always to have 2 under 2 but that is now out the window because I had an emergency section. I know they say 18 months and we will be sticking to it (as much as I don’t want to) but I’m curious how quickly you got pregnant after your section?

Movements

I’m 28 weeks tomorrow. Yesterday I had loads and loads of movements but today I have only felt small flutters and a couple of kicks throughout the day. I get so confused as some people say they don’t have a pattern but others say they do. We have a Doppler so used it this evening and could hear the heartbeat and then moving but does anyone else get quieter days of movement than others? I am seeing my midwife tomorrow so will check but just find myself getting anxious about it and don’t know when to get checked. I know they encourage it but last time as soon as I got to triage baby started moving loads!

Clogged ducts, eye gunk

Little Theo has been having really gunky eyes, we’ve taken him to the doctor and the a and e and they’ve said it’s most likely a clogged duct, anyone else’s baby have this and was there anything to do about it? I feel horrible constantly wiping his eye xx
