This actually sounds like contractions not going to lie!🤣🙈 maybe get checked out to see?! Xx

I've had it on and off for days 😕 it's stopped now....just got lightning crotch now x

I’d deffo say labour is close then! Sounds like your body is preparing itself for labour! I’ve been getting the same sort of symptoms as you to be honest’ the lightning crotch is horrible tho it’s all the time atm🤣xx

@Chloe same! All day everyday at this point xx

Omg I had lightening crotch soooo bad last night I couldn’t even walk 😂🤣 then it eased and I was ok 🙈. Also been getting kind of similar feelings to you, I’m 36+5 and today had period like cramping and a bit of bad belly. Wondering if it’s more round ligament pain maybe xx

I’m 36+2 and the last few days had a lot of period type cramps, yesterday I had a fair amount of lower back pain, and today I’ve honestly been to the toilet loads 🤣 (sorry!) I think perhaps it’s baby making it’s way lower? As I’ve had lightening crotch just sat on the sofa! Proper zingers 🤪 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! 🥰

Help

I was getting pretty painful period cramps and during those, I had painful lower back cramps. I had these on and off for like a few hours so from about 10:30pm to 1am?

I’ve had no show, or anything like that.

Is this braxton hicks or early labour pains?

Fed up

Anyone else just feeling fed up in general? I just never feel happy anymore. Wake up dreading what the day ahead of us will be like.
Little one will be 6 week tomorrow

Early waters/pre term labour?

I can’t get checked until later today unfortunately. I can’t tell if I’m leaking/starting early. I definitely think I’m having braxton hicks yesterday and today.. i have some pain in my back but she is quite low down so hoping it’s just pressure, baby was a little quieter yesterday but she’s back to more normal movements today, but my underwear just seems to get so wet, especially after going to the bathroom. And I honestly can’t work out the smell, I’m pretty sure it’s just discharge/urine leaking but there’s that worry in my mind a little. Are there any other ways to know/check if it could be the start of it all?

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?
