I feel you. Can't say about sudden aching as I've been hurting this whole time but my aches have definitely been increasing. I'm scared of early labor too but at this point with my GD diagnosis I wouldn't mind going into labor before Dr's decide to induce me

It could just be that you're getting farther along and heavier to carry around, or you could be getting sick? Bring it up to your Dr when you see them

I’m there with you..added bad pelvic pressure…I went to my doc today and they told me I could have SPD which is where the pelvic bone separates sooner than it’s supposed to and makes it extra hard to do anything…and not getting circulation to my legs constantly getting cramps (that’s from baby position) I was told today all the aches and pains are just the joys of pregnancy as long as you’re not spotting or having contractions you’re okay just verrrrrryyyyyyy uncomfortable

I used kt tape to help aches in areas that hurt most. Also really great to try and stay and active and lose as possible. I had spd and use tape under belly and 2 straps going up helps a ton and more comfortable than bands. It is super common this time in pregnancy cause baby is more rapidly gaining as well there is less space and more weight with your insides being more cramped up. Hang in there. Also Epsom salt baths, and magnesium spray Also safe for baby can help muscles relax. But common to be low on minerals during pregnancy too.

for how long do you keep the tape on? I taped my belly cause I was travelling but ended up with big itchiness and slight burns/wounds 😓 idk if it’s because I scratched it while I was wearing it or cause I kept it on too long so I’m scared to tape again 😂

I think everyone is different and brands definitely use different adhesive. I tend to have mine on like 3 days at a time.

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?

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

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!

Invited to a chuckie cheese party but I don't have money and don't want to tell my daughter that's why we can't go. Does anyone know how their parties work?

I'm not sure how chuckie cheese parties are. If they give you money to play or not if you're in the party. And then I'm wondering if it's an actual birthday party or if they're just going to chuckie cheese. Some guy in my building told me a couple weeks ago that his son's birthday is today and he's thinking of doing chuckie cheese. They sent an invite but I feel so insecure not being able to afford anything. Like if they don't have food for example. Idk what to do.
