35 weeks

Has anyone else felt a lot of tightening I feel like she's been constantly moving about today and when I've been walking today I got like sharp pains down there I think she might be just pressing on my bladder as the midwife confirmed her head is just above ready to be engaged. I just feel a lot more is going on at this stage than I did with my other 2!

@Laura yeah sounds very similar, 5 weeks to go or maybe sooner 😬

I experienced something super weird today at 34weeks! I went for a walk and the pressure was insane. The need to pee became unbearable. Then I looked down, and she moved down. I touched and she was definitely low. My bump looked completely different, smaller for sure! I thought she might have dropped but this evening she came back up lol

My second pregnancy and I totally feel you, this pregnancy is definitely something else.

Did baby drop?

@Ley wow that does sound strange I had the insane pressure when I went for a walk and constantly needing to pee but I didn't see that she'd moved down and as if she's come back up lol. Yeah it's very different this pregnancy never had braxton hicks with my other two, just feels so different but I don't think she's dropped yet I don't think my other 2 did though tbh as they struggled to come out!

Yes there are cramps and frequent urgency to wee

You might want to inform a doctor of that if your bump looks smaller, at 32 weeks my sister went to a normal doctor's appointment and just happened to mention to the doctor that her bump looked a little smaller and it turned out she was leaking amnionic fluid and that's why her bump looked smaller. I am certainly not saying that is what is happening to you but I'm just saying that it is possible because it happened to my sister so you might want to get checked out. And no she did not notice that she was leaking like down there or anything. She just thought it was like normal discharge cuz she was having very heavy discharge towards the end.

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!
