Pains

Hi guys
I’m 35+5 today, and really struggling with lightning crotch today and strange shooting pains in my upper thighs.
Anyone else had similar pain in their upper thigh towards the crotch? Seems to coincide with lightning crotch but it’s a strange cramping pain.

Worried about early labour etc!

I haven't experienced anything like that but it definitely could be similar to lightning crotch with babe applying pressure to nerves.

I had very similar to this during early Labour. I had it for 2/3 weeks before she was born. Might be worth while just getting in touch with someone and double checking everything is well. It could just be baby is laid in a certain position on a nerve 💕

thank you, I will call the assessment unit I think! He is exceptionally active tonight so he may just be putting pressure on a bit more than usual!
Best to check though I guess

keep us updated! Good luck. It’s always worth checking up on any different movements too. So if he’s more active than normal. It’s usually nothing, but worth checking 💕

yes it could well be nerves. Such an uncomfortable feeling! I’ll keep an eye and may get checked out if it carriers on - thanks :)

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?

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?
