36.5 Weeks- throbbing/tingling downstairs?

Has anyone else felt this crazy sudden shift in the 3rd trimester where your vaginal area all becomes super oversensitive & almost raw feeling with no stimulation or activity beyond regular everyday tasks? The tingling is so uncomfortable for me as it's a surface discomfort and every movement reminds me.

It may be from the baby putting a ton of pressure on your cervix. It can cause a swollen type feeling and sometimes even lightening crotch lol if it's feeling dry you can always try a little coconut oil to lubricate things up.

Yes, I’ve experienced this in the past two weeks. I’m currently 38+4.

it's a very uncomfortable flushed feeling. Haha as if we don't have enough going on.

yeah no dryness but the tingling has walking at a whole new level of discomfort. Yikes 😳

Yes definitely feel this way. Everything down there feels different or more sensitive I guess. I have my follow up today so I’m contemplating asking them for a check just to make sure what I’m feeling is actually true to the time frame lol

Sounds more like lightening crotch then :(

SPPH (secondary postpartum haemorrhage) due to retained placenta -D&C?

Looking to see if anyone else has experienced this? Currently trying to pass retained tissue ( 4 weeks pp) and finding every day so exhausting just constantly waiting and checking my bleeding. I stopped bleeding on week 2.5/3 then bleeding picked up last Saturday and I haemorrhaged on Thursday morning with a rush to hospital. Everyday since I’m waking up scared I’ll be bleeding out. Worried to go toilet to check, I’m not convinced I’ll be passing it naturally and I’m worried I’ll need a D&C… has anyone had this? My retained tissue is 2cm so they said it’s small but I have no signs of passing it or blood changing colour to show slowing down.

Boy or girl?

I’ve just discovered the nub theory and this is my 4th baby. Anyone take a guess?

Owlet sock worth it?

Anyone use the owlet sock for newborn? Is it worth the price and what are some pros / cons?

39 weeks pregnant FTM

39 weeks baby hasn’t come yet and I am just full of anxiety. I am trying to relax. I am trying to chill, but I can’t chill. I do not want to be induced. I would love to have her natural. Issue is I am tight down there and petite and baby is measuring big like the head especially. I know that measurements can be off. But I have photos! And she is a chunk. This is so unpredictable. How do I just put my faith forward and trust in God and how do I let go of this anxiety? I am doing fine and then boom it hits me and I want to ball my eyes out. I am trying to treat myself and do little things but driving or doing anything is so hard now and I’m so huge and uncomfortable …I’m at my breaking point 😭

So ready for second trimester 🥲

I really really hate the first trimester. It’s exhausting, no appetite, not enough hours to get the amount of sleep I need, headaches, smell sensitivity, and overall just feeling like crap! And I don’t want to announce anything until 14 weeks since I’ve had losses before, and it’s getting really hard to hide it from my friends. Two more weeks to go….

Just needed to vent to others who understand!

2nd baby

Anyone who’s had their 2nd baby, when did you go into labour compared to your first?
