Impending labour?

37+2 and I’ve had a tight stomach the past few days but today it’s to the point where it’s uncomfortable. Every position is uncomfortable. I’ve googled it but only things for Braxton hicks or contractions come up. This isn’t on and off this is just constant tight belly and I’d say mild period pains again constant, not on and off. Baby seems to be hurting me with every movement as well which has never happened. She feels super low down and I’ve got so much pressure in my bum. Can braxton hicks be constant and not on and off?

Went for a family meal today and had to go straight the toilet and was very loose (TMI sorry) and continued once or twice at home until it was basically just bile. Since “empty” I keep feeling like I need to go the loo but no relief, just so much pressure. Almost like constipation but I can tell nothing is there.

I have a c-section scheduled for 3rd May so I’m just paranoid over going into labour early. But at what point should I call triage? I still have a week left in work but I’m a teacher so it’s not easy to just leave as I have to get covered.

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??

Would you bring 9 week old to a family party of 35+ people?

These are also people who will want to pass the baby around and get a turn to hold him. He just got his 2 month shots two 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?

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. ??
