Sharp stabbing pain in my right shoulder

Any idea as to why I have a really really bad sharp intense stabbing pain in my right shoulder at 35 weeks pregnant?

Wide awake

Anyone else doing the 3am club 😩 im 4+6 and my eyes ping open from 2am. I am so tired during the day, but I just cannot get back to sleep 🫠

Am I in early labour or just ill?

I have had 2 days of what is probably nesting then just got struck with the need to nap this afternoon. Woke up about 6:30 after around 2 hours and felt a bit off so ran a bath. By 7pm I'd started having mild irregular cramping accross my abdomen whilst in the bath. Got out about 8:30 and little lady had a good wriggle but I felt quite rough.

This then continued with regular cramps all night. Spent some time on my birthing ball wrapped in a blanket with a hot water bottle on my back because I had chills. Tried laying down on my left and watching something on TV, listening to music etc but I just couldn't get comfy.

Cramps coming anywhere between 5-15 minutes apart for anything from 25secs to - 2.5 mins.

I go to lay on my right and instantly vomit up over a little of the squash I had been sipping through the evening. I then feel better enough to get about a 25 minute nap in at around 2am.

Since then I've been awake and cramping still anywhere between 3.5 mins to 25mins apart.

Me and my partner have decided to get into bed and try and get some proper rest but I've woke up from the nap and my forhead temp is reading 38.8°

Realistically I know i probably should ring the Mat Unit. It's my first and I'm 37 +1.

Baby coming early...

Hey everyone,

I'm 36+6 today, little man due 15th May, but I don't think we will make it to May...

I can't remember the timeline of things happening with my first baby other than when my waters went.

But last night I had tightenings that weren't the normal Braxton Hicks. BH usually happens at the top, once or twice a day. Last night the tightenings were happening from the bottom and spreading upwards. Semi regularly from 6pm-12am roughly. I know that part is normal...

Then I woke up this morning and went for a wee and my mucus plug has decided to vacate the building 🫠🤣 I'm now getting more tightenings low down and the pain in my inner thighs has increased - something else I didn't get with my first.

Anyone else in this boat right now? Or can you remember roughly how long it took from mucus plug coming away to labour starting?

Thank you ❤️❤️

Sitting

Anyone else’s baby not sitting unaided yet? He’ll sit good if I loosely hold his hips or shoulders but will lean too far forward and fall over if I let go! I know every baby is different but constantly worried he’s behind!

Giant baby??

Anyone else shaping up to have a huge baby?? I’m consistently measuring in the 95+% centile (32 weeks). Midwife seems very relaxed about it, but has said that if it’s still tracking this big around 36 weeks they might want to scan me and discuss early induction or an elective section. My first labour was very long and traumatic (with a 40th centile totally average baby!!) and I am getting a bit nervous about the prospect of delivering a mega-baby. Equally I don’t know how I can keep growing another 2 months! Curious what other mums of apparently chonky little ones are thinking…

I need me a new husband bffr

I have this bump on my labia majora towards the end of the vagina. told my husband it hurts to wipe,sit and move and i need him to look. He said no and to leave it alone as there isn’t anything he can do. I told him it hurts and I have a feeling its infected. He finally looks and just said its just a red bump and to clean it with alcohol if i wanted to. I said ok and i cant clean it with alcohol even if i wanted to because im 38 weeks pregnant and cant see my vagina. Tell me why a few hours later (now) I go pee and I try to gently wipe so avoid irritating it and saw blood on the toilet paper. I stand up and a wipe the bump and saw blood and pus.. I was right. It wasnt just a red bump; it was an infected red bump. I stood and tried to get the rest of the pus out until all i saw was blood and tried to get the bleeding to slow down.. While I got my leg up on the sink he is telling me to leave it alone. I tell him I cant. it was infected and its now bleeding and he just goes back to sleep. Im in bed uncomfortable because that “so called bump” is irritated and im paranoid to fart or poo or pee because i dont want to make it worse.
