Advice?

I'm 33+4 weeks.

Since yesterday I've constant dull Back aches and period pains. Some I can identify when they come and go and some I can't.

My breasts are also sore. Is this a normal occurrence or something of concern?

I currently don't have a midwife I can consult as my care is being switched over.

I’m in this boat too, I’m just riding it out to see if they become more severe with a pattern

I had this exact same problem yesterday I'm 33+4 to. Backs been aching for a few weeks but seemed stronger yesterday. Had sharp period like cramps. I phoned triage and they checked me over just to be on the safe side. Baby was absolutely fine and they gave me some painkillers which seemed to help alot. If your worried at all don't be afraid to call triage and get checked ☺️ x

I've seen these posts quite alot today all around the same week & it's really reassured me as I'm also 34 weeks & suffering with period like pains & back ache also more frequent braxton hicks. Mines just a constant ache it's so annoying as I'm mithering this baby won't make it to full term with all the aches & pains I've been getting 😫 x

Small head reported following 20 week scan

Has anyone else had it flagged that their baby is in the bottom 5th percentile for head size?

They said everything was fine whilst we were in the scan and then I got a phone call the next day saying that it’s on the small side and we’re being referred to a paediatric specialist at St George’s. Has anyone else had this and how did things go??

Would you bring 9 week old to a family party of 35+ people?

These are also people who will want to pass the baby around and get a turn to hold him. He just got his 2 month shots two days ago

Exercise 6 weeks after c section

What movement did people start to introduce? I won’t do anything too vigorous until I’ve seen the pelvic physio as I don’t want to compromise anything that may have been extremely weakened through pregnancy! But just wondering what types of classes/movement people started off with?

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.

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 😂🥲
