32 weeks 3 days

Hey ladies!
I’m making this post for some reassurance as I’m freaking myself out.
I woke up at 3am this morning needing to go to the toilet.. I ended up passing a bowel motion but it wasn’t normal for me..it wasn’t loose or anything just wasn’t my usual kind..I felt nauseous as well so got some water and went back to bed..but didn’t throw up. I wasn’t able to get back to sleep either so have been up since 3 except for maybe like an hour and half nap today.. I feel really groggy after the nap and haven’t felt right at all. My partner wanted some adult time if that makes sense and this is the first time I’ve had painful contraction like pains after..they’ve gone now..
anyway I just don’t feel “right” and was saying to my partner that I have this gut feeling she’s getting ready to make an appearance.. I’m stressing myself out as she’s nowhere near ready for coming so I hope she doesn’t but could do with some reassurance and whether or not a gut feeling she might come sounds crazy.
She has moved today so no concerns about movement or anything. Could I just be exhausted and run down or has a gut feeling ever been right?

This sounds very much like it could be the beginning of labour. I would call the triage just in case.

It could just be your body preparing for birth. Doesn’t mean it’s coming anytime soon though. Baby could’ve moved lower down and things are just shifting around, making you feel a bit funny and have different poops.
There’s no harm in calling someone and asking for advice though.
Chances are they won’t do anything though unless there is an actual cause for concern, but they could definitely reassure you xx

I would call and go for check 🙌😊

I just don’t want to sound like a pregnant crazy lady haha

Itas always better to be safe than sorry 🥰 at least you'll now everything is okay 🙌

I had the same feeling about the same time as you I phoned my midwife and that and got told that it's Braxton Hicks but when I when for my growth scan two days ago he's now head down and engaged but doesn't always mean you go into labour early hope you feel better Hun try just putting little heat on easy pain little xx

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?

32 weeks

32 week growth scan and clinic appointment. Did anything unusual happen? Ive heard a few people saying 32 weeks was when they had a induction date

Fed up

Anyone else just feeling fed up in general? I just never feel happy anymore. Wake up dreading what the day ahead of us will be like.
Little one will be 6 week tomorrow

Early waters/pre term labour?

I can’t get checked until later today unfortunately. I can’t tell if I’m leaking/starting early. I definitely think I’m having braxton hicks yesterday and today.. i have some pain in my back but she is quite low down so hoping it’s just pressure, baby was a little quieter yesterday but she’s back to more normal movements today, but my underwear just seems to get so wet, especially after going to the bathroom. And I honestly can’t work out the smell, I’m pretty sure it’s just discharge/urine leaking but there’s that worry in my mind a little. Are there any other ways to know/check if it could be the start of it all?
