Sounds like Braxton hicks, I started having them on the odd days too last week.

I just had the worst night ever. I was feeling cramps since going to bed last night on top of the backpain I 've been having so a bad combination. I didn't feel tightening though and baby was moving around all the time. I think as long as there is no blood or it gets stronger it should be ok.

Oh I've been having ever so slight feelings of this! Didn't realise it had a name!

I went to the hospital last night to get it checked and luckily all was good. If you are worried its best you call labour ward and they can put your mind at ease. No point in wondering and worrying as this makes things worse

I’m 24 weeks and have been having this the last couple of days. Feel like bad period pains and I have pain and tightening in my right side and ribs

Day out after c section

Hey,
I had an emergency c section 1 week ago I obviously don't want a day out right now but I have things booked for the Easter holidays so in 2 weeks. I was just wondering if I will be overdoing it if I have a day out then or will I be ok? I would still take it as easy as I could. When did everyone feel good enough to go out?

Period like cramps

Hi
I’m currently 33 weeks pregnant and I keep getting period like cramps I thought these were Brixton hicks but I’ve heard they only last 30 seconds ish as this can go on for a good time frame then go away and come back, they aren’t bad enough where I can’t do basic things they just feel like I’m about to get my period I’m jus wondering how normal this is? Baby is still very actively kicking xx

C section or natural?

I am a control freak and thinking c section is the least stressful route for me and baby… less complications during labour etc. whilst acknowledging recovering can be hard.
If it could be guaranteed no tearing or complications then I would opt for natural and kind of want to experience the feeling.
Then again could plan and go either way 😂 arghh!
Anyone else in this predicament?

Midwife check

Can someone remind me when the midwife visits you at home? Is it the day after you’re discharged? And is that the same on the weekend or do they not visit then? Thanks!

Owlet

Anyone else’s owlet pi##ing them off ?!?! It goes off 5/6 a night saying it can’t get a reading and needs a snug fit. My baby is 8 months old so moves a lot. It is driving me insane and I keep end up taking it off!!
