Not sure

What are the mild contractions like? How often do they come and last for? These are what I’ve been getting. Period like cramps, they have been getting worse throughout the day and now getting back ache

Its very true what they say, you will deffo be able to feel a contraction in comparison to a braxton hick/achey feeling x

It’s definitely getting more painful but I wouldn’t say it’s horrendous, they told me to call when I have 3 within 10 minutes I just want to be sure as I don’t want to waste their time if it isn’t x

All ima say is by the time I was at the hospital, my contractions had me bending over in pain 🥲😅 I had him 3 hours later lol I was at a 5 when they were so bad I wasn’t able to really stand through them and idk how to explain it other than I was SO TIRED and felt so dumb in the breaks between them like my brain couldn’t think

@Julia Villalon this is fact lol

unless you're the super rarity group of women that genuinely have painless contractions. My cousin has a bicornuate uterus, and although she can *feel* the contractions, they do not hurt. From my understanding, it has nothing to do with her uterus shape.. I just like to think so 😅

The pain and contractions will get stronger and a lot more closer together, the pain will be quite uncomfortable and painful- personally for me when my pain and contractions were getting worse i wouldn’t be able to sit down or relax, and the pain comes for a good 40-60 seconds. I went in when I was at the start of labour so early labour and progressed whilst I was there and within 4 hours I dilated to 5cms and trust me you know when your in labour 😂 if your worried just go in xxx

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 😂🥲

Anyone been induced before? Was it more painful? Better than thought? Worse than thought? Worth it? Thoughts?

Baby names

My daughter‘s name is valentýna and I’m struggling to find other nice girl and boy names beginning with V I’ve got a few and I’ve got loads that aren’t beginning with V, but I feel like I wanna go for all vs and I also love girl and boys names that match so because my daughter’s name is valentýna I would love to call my son Valentino my husband does not agree 😃
