20 weeks and experience intense period like cramps ???

I’m in pain with what I’d best describe as period like pains. Really down low radiating round my front and back. Should I be concerned?? Any one else had this?? It feels like it’s coming and going abit aswell which is concerning me. Like the intensity gets worse then goes abit then comes back. I don’t know if I’m overthinking or what but I don’t know what it is

I went to the doctors as midwives didnt get back to me. They found blood in my urine so they think it’s a water infection. But they said to still be careful and if the pain gets worse and I can’t sleep cause of it that’s not normal and if they come and go and my tummy feels like it’s tightening then get to A&E

Hello I’m 20 weeks and have been having this for a couple of weeks on and off, felt like a band of pain around my pelvis and back. Anyway, they found trace of blood in my urine and I’m on antibiotics. Todays my 4th day taking them so I hope they start to kick in soon otherwise I will go back to the GP xx

I’m exactly the same been given antibiotics, as they found traces of blood in my urine too. It’s quite worrying isn’t it hopefully we will be sorted after the course of anti biotics x

Yes it is! And unfortunately I don’t feel my antibiotics have made anything better so far and I would have expected to see some difference by now. So I’m already planning a visit back to the GP next week! X hope your antibiotics help with your symptoms x

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

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?

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!
