Braxton Hicks?

I just had really bad pain, it kinda felt like a side stitch but all over my belly. I thought I was having Braxton hicks before when my stomach would tighten and it was just uncomfy. I don’t know if I should go into the hospital or if it’s just Braxton Hicks and I wasn’t feeling them before. I’ve also been super nauseous and weak today. What would yall do?

That actually sounds like round ligament pain to me. Braxton Hicks really aren't painful, typically speaking.

All that being said, anytime you're questioning things, call your provider! They'll be able to advise you moving forward.

I would definitely leave a message to my OB and see what they say. Trust your instincts, if something feels wrong or off. It's totally okay to go get checked out at labor and delivery. Something similar happened to me a few weeks ago. My OB sent me to labor and delivery to be on the safe side. It was super quick and easy. Baby was good and happy. They said I could have been a little dehydrated. They said a UTI can cause abnormal cramps. I did not have UTI. They just told me to relax for the rest of the day. Also said if I feel like I'm drinking enough water, then drink even more.

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?

Is this normal??

I’m 29 weeks pregnant and having really aching legs and they’re all lumpy and swollen. Above the knee and behind the knee . Should I be worried ? My legs have never looked like this up until a few days ago. ??
