Contractions or Baby Movements

Hello, I’m 39 weeks today I’m really confused between baby movements and contractions! I haven’t felt the contraction pains but my stomach gets really tight! And when my stomach gets tight I can feel baby movements! Please help.

That sounds like Braxton Hicks!

But my baby’s head is very low! Almost positioned to come out! That’s why I’m really concerned

if you feel concerned, call your maternity ward. Or go in
Better safe than sorry 💓

I had the same thing during my time and delivered the baby within 24 hours👶🏻
All the best👍🏼

omg! ❤️

Of it's contractions they'll start to form a pattern and become regular and progressively more intense. Maybe try timing them to see?

Babies head can feel very low for a while, it could still just be Braxton hicks. But obviously if you're worried at all just call triage. Good luck!!

Okay, thank you

Scan needed at 33 weeks

Hi ladies! I just had a midwife appointment (I am 33+5)..the midwife was different to my usual midwife. She's requested I have a scan within 72 hours as she said baby is measuring a little small, however, she did say that it's likely nothing to worry about and it's probably just her measuring me a bit different to my usual midwife. Has anyone else had this? Am a bit worried although babys heartbeat and movements are completely fine.

Finding out gender

Has anyone found out the gender at a private scan at 14 weeks? And has this been accurate?

I found out at 17 with my first but I know a scan place that offers from 14/15 weeks and I’m impatient 😂🥲

Hi

Hi guys so I’m 25 weeks today and I haven’t felt the baby kick at all yet at the scans she’s moving constantly that it’s hard to get the right measurements my first pregnancy was cryptic so I just want suggestions from one worried mother

Induction?

Anyone been induced before? Was it more painful? Better than thought? Worse than thought? Worth it? Thoughts?

Baby names

My daughter‘s name is valentýna and I’m struggling to find other nice girl and boy names beginning with V I’ve got a few and I’ve got loads that aren’t beginning with V, but I feel like I wanna go for all vs and I also love girl and boys names that match so because my daughter’s name is valentýna I would love to call my son Valentino my husband does not agree 😃
