Contractions???

Hey guys I’m 35+6 days along and this is my first pregnancy. I just woke up to some major cramping sharp and burning like it started really low in my pelvis area and then moved upward towards my chest area. It felt like 1minute apart from the other till it got so bad I threw up. I feel better but during those extreme cramps my belly felt hard as stone the cramps felt like a period cramp mixed with some gas bubbles that felt like it could kill if they wanted to. Anyone experienced this at all? I have a midwife appointment on Tuesday. Can this wait till then or should I go in?

I'm 35 weeks and 5 days. I also experience the same symptoms however I've been monitored using the non stress test. The doctors told me tho if I'm experiencing hardness of the belly like a cough then you should go in

You may be experiencing contraptions

what’s a non stress test?

@Luli it's test done normally twice a week to check my baby's blood flow blood from the umbilical cord, checking me and babies heart heart, it also is used to check the babies fluid as well. I'm measuring small.so they use this test to make sure everything's okay

I'd go get checked out. Better safe than sorry but it does sound like early labor.

I would give your midwife a call and see if they want you to go into their office or to L&D (if your planning to deliver at a hospital). I’ve been having contractions since 31 weeks and they said 4 or more in an hour to let them know and if they are so bad it takes your breath away and you can’t speak during them to go in.

Scan needed at 33 weeks

Hi ladies! I just had a midwife appointment (I am 33+5)..the midwife was different to my usual midwife. She's requested I have a scan within 72 hours as she said baby is measuring a little small, however, she did say that it's likely nothing to worry about and it's probably just her measuring me a bit different to my usual midwife. Has anyone else had this? Am a bit worried although babys heartbeat and movements are completely fine.

normal or infected?

5 weeks post c section , i went at the beginning of the week as my wound had opened completely different area to what’s leaking. was told it didn’t look infected. anyone know if this is normal coming off it, it’s only a little amount at a time

Finding out gender

Has anyone found out the gender at a private scan at 14 weeks? And has this been accurate?

I found out at 17 with my first but I know a scan place that offers from 14/15 weeks and I’m impatient 😂🥲

Hi

Hi guys so I’m 25 weeks today and I haven’t felt the baby kick at all yet at the scans she’s moving constantly that it’s hard to get the right measurements my first pregnancy was cryptic so I just want suggestions from one worried mother

Induction?

Anyone been induced before? Was it more painful? Better than thought? Worse than thought? Worth it? Thoughts?

Baby names

My daughter‘s name is valentýna and I’m struggling to find other nice girl and boy names beginning with V I’ve got a few and I’ve got loads that aren’t beginning with V, but I feel like I wanna go for all vs and I also love girl and boys names that match so because my daughter’s name is valentýna I would love to call my son Valentino my husband does not agree 😃
