Pain under belly button

Hurts when laughing, moving, touching, is this normal? Or has anyone had it before?

I don't know if it's the same thing but about 1 year after having my first I got a sharp pain in my belly button that radiated down inside me to my lady bits and have had it on and off since. I'm pregnant again now and have had it a few times
Is this was yours feels like?
It's the most horrible pain
I googled it and said something about ab separation

I get pain slightly off to one side under my belly button. It matches the description of round ligament pain - so it might be the same?

I’ve been getting this exact pain! Googled the hell out of it but couldn’t find what it was. It also hurts more if you push when going for a wee? Like a sharp stabbing pain? Hopefully it’s normal

Has anyone contacted their midwife’s? I was hoping it would get better but yeah it’s like slightly off to my right side under my belly button. I’m hoping it’s nothing to worry about! X

I expect this is it. Diastasis recti. Very common in pregnancy but not sure at what point. After my first pregnancy I had to go to physio to get rid of the gap but I can see they’ve already separated this time when I sit up 😒
The joys of pregnancy!

It's always in the same place, like someone's pulling a string that's attached to my cervix. So definitely could be diastasis recti! I don't get it much but I have to sit down and hunch over until I know it's over, its an awful sensation 😅
I've noticed if the button of my jeans is pressing on my belly button, it hits a nerve and it happens or if I touch my belly button a certain way
God knows! 🤣

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

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 🙈
