Car Crash

I'm 11w3d pregnant today. I got in a minor car crash this morning on my way home from my boyfriend's house. I rear-ended the car in front of me, it was my fault. I didn't hit hard enough to even feel the seatbelt put extra pressure on my stomach or chest. Both drivers and cars are fine. The cars just may need minor repairs. I felt completely fine aside from freaking out for the first few hours. Now I have a lot of low back pain (which I had before so I can't tell if it's worse or not) and a pretty bad headache. I barely even rocked in the car when I hit the other car so I shouldn't have whiplash or anything. Could just be a stress headache. Do I need to tell my OB immediately or is it okay to wait until my next appointment on April 11th?

I had an accident early on... advice line suggested I go to urgent care, but they didn't check on the baby as I was only 7 weeks. Could call your ob and see what they suggest, but headache could possibly be concussion too so might be worth doing urgent care for anyways

My clinic is closed for the night and I'm working until midnight anyway. I'll try to call them tomorrow even though it's Saturday.

Is this normal?

Is this little red bit on my section scar normal? It’s not oozing anything, doesn’t hurt but it’s the only bit on my scar like it so just curious! (19 days PP)
Thank you in advance! 🥰

Anyone else felt like this?

Hi, I’m 4 months postpartum, little one sleeps through the night and is formula fed, the last week I’ve felt extremely tired and very hungry! Just wondered if anyone else has felt this way/experienced this?

Pregnant with baby 2

Hi everyone! I gave birth via emergency c section 9 months ago as my baby boy was measuring big, he pooped inside so there was risk of him inhaling it and I wasn’t progressing past 3cm to have a natural birth and now I’m currently 20 weeks pregnant with my 2nd baby. I’m having a consultation on Tuesday to talk about birth options and to have any questions answered but I don’t know what to ask. I feel like it would be safer having a c section again but at the same time I don’t want a c section. Does anyone have any question ideas I could ask or any advice/stories of similar situations. Tia

Hey what are your current symptoms?

I’m 37+5

I’m pretty mobile still but anything over a hour or 2 and I’m in discomfort

Getting up from a sitting position is hard

Some of baby’s movements now are bordering on painful especially around my crotch/pelvis

I’m exhausted very easily and nap every single day

Can basically only breathe out my mouth now and I’m snoring and dribbling 😂

Standing in one leg is very painful 😂

Some waves of pain/ tightening but I regular and mild

Low period type aches

And I feel like a fire breathing dragon with this acid reflux

My nose is growing 😂

My fingers swell slightly and go numbs in my sleep so that and constant toilet breaks keep me up ( checked swelling with MW and consultant and all normal, not a worry)


I also do not want to be social in person like I’d rather everyone just be my penpal atm lol


What are your symptoms?
