Early labour?

Since last night I've had on and off cramps that feel like period cramps / gas pains. Some are more painful than others but they're not consistent. It definitely happens more at night, but there's no tightening. Not sure if it's early labour or just gas / pregnancy pains lol. I'm 38+2 for context!

My Labour started with mild period cramps! Even when they got more intense I didn’t feel noticeable tightening across my stomach so you could well be in early Labour. Good luck!

Thank you !! How long did it take for yours to ramp up?

They started on Monday and paracetamol was effective pain relief. They really ramped up Tuesday night when they were pretty much continuous and intense until Thursday morning.

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??

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. ??

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?
