Painful bladder

I have no pain or discomfort whatsoever when going for a wee during the day and feels completely normal. I have however been finding that I'm waking up around 4-5 every night desprate for a wee and my bladder is quite painful! It doesn't hurt to wee or anything and the discomfort goes as soon as I've gone but I was wondering if anyone else has this? I'm assuming it's not a UTI because it's literally only at night when I usually wake up with a very full bladder 🤔 guessing it's because I sleep slightly heavier so it's getting more full than it would usually during the day and the extra pressure if baby 😅 wondering if this is something other people have experienced or if I should maybe get this checked out?

I have this!! Feels like such a relief when I go for a wee as is feels like my bladder is going to burst when I first wake up, so uncomfortable! Had my wee checked a couple days ago and no UTI! I think it’s just the added weight x

I literally have the same every single night!! Had my urine checked and it has been ok but I think that during the night we only wake up when it's just super full that's why it's so painful, and probably baby getting big as well x

I have the same and think it's just babies head on my bladder. It's definitely not a uti in my case x

Oh okay I was like 99% sure it wasn't a UTI but just not seen anyone mentioning it so was a little worried! 😂 Might still go get checked anyway but sounds like I'm not the only one having this! X

Yeah I have this almost every night, I have just been told I have a uti but even so this is something I've had for a good while so I don't necessarily think it's related to the uti x

High risk

I’m considered high risk because I was fully dilated when I had an emergency C-section with my first and there’s risks I could go into pre term labour so I have cervical length scans every 2 weeks between 16-22/24 and I’m aloud to try for a vbac if I go into spontaneous labour by 40 weeks but I’ll have a planned C-section booked for week 40 ( which I’m really hoping doesn’t happen )Just wondering if anyone else had similar experiences I’m just very overwhelmed and hoping people have maybe had a good successful full term pregnancy & birth despite what IVE previously mentioned x

6.2 days no heart beat

So from my flo ap, I was supposed to be 6.2 days yesterday which is when I had an internal scan. everything was seen but no heartbeat :( she measured me at 2.2 mm which is more like 5+5 weeks but I’m freaking out. Any positive stories please :(

Which induction method??

Im at the hospital now for induction and dont know which method to go for.
I initially didnt want the balloon because the sweeps really hurt me and I feel it will be most uncomfortable but seems like the highest success rate? And no hormones.

What has everyone else done and recommend?

Nausea

I’m 6weeks 4days and my nausea is HORRIBLE ! I wake up immediately feeling like I’m about to throw up to the point I have to sit, breath in extra big breaths, I might feel light headed or like I’m going to pass out. This will literally last ALL DAY & has been for the past 5/6 days now. When I try to eat something I take very small bites as it feels like I’m going to throw up what I just put down. My mom told me about apple juice which has been helping but my goodness I cannot take it 😭 what has helped you guys who deal with bad nausea ?

Anyone had a growth scan around these dates?

I’ve got scans;
26+5
27+3
28+5

And just wondering what everyone’s babies weighed on/around these dates ? (And what centiles)

My oldest has a scan at 27+6 so I know roughly with that but interested to know how much growth tends to happen in such a short period ?

Rest

Anyone else lead a super busy lifestyle?

I am none stop between housework, dog walks, shopping, decorating, my toddler, nursery runs, work etc.

Sometimes I feel a kick and I’m like “oh yeah” because I barely sit down or rest.

Will this lead to any complications it’s generally has my anxiety higher as people keep telling me to rest but it’s not an option, not unless people helped me out 🙈
