🚨TW🚨If my IUD has shifted and I happen to be pregnant, could the baby even survive?

I have a Liletta IUD and don’t use any other form of birth control. I have had severe cramping but haven’t bled. I’m on day 14 of missing my period, it’s been consistent for the past 5 months. Anyone able to share a similar experience/ knowledge on this? I don’t feel much different, just hormonal. How long should I wait to test?

I know quite a few people that got pregnant with an IUD. One got pregnant twice. When I had mine, I would test every month

They all have healthy kids now, just make sure you go get seen if that test is positive.

I had the liletta too and my period stopped around 6months? It's completely normal for that to happen but it still scared me, which is why I tested every month, that and knowning 3 different women get pregnant 1-2 times

I got pregnant with my IUD as it had dislodged but it actually ended up falling out randomly once I tested positive.
I had it in for 4 years before it dislodged.

I would get checked by a doctor as if it's moved it could be the reason you're having severe cramping and will need removing asap.

Fried rice noodles 🍜

The first craving my Asian ancestors in my body is asking for during my first trimester.😎
I went from no appetite to have three bowls of them straight 😂
I feel pretty healthy too as I added in lots of bean sprouts, carrots cabbage, onion and broccoli for veggies; eggs, tofu and beef meatballs for protein.
Ahhh I am just so happy 😀

Elective C-section

Guys I'm 13 weeks but I'm already extremely terrified of birth and specially tearing and injuries down there. I'm thinking I'd rather suffer the pain from the c section than going through natural labour. I like the thought of everything being planned and I'd know what's going on. Any of you in a similar situation?

Early labour

So it has been a bit of joke with my husband that I won't realise when I'm in the early stages of labour as I will just crack on (I had a cyst 18 months ago which I just got on with as I didnt want to bother anyone)
Anyway to the point I'm 39+6 with our first. I've had loose BM for a couple of days and go to bed feeling sick for the last 3 nights. I have had a few cases of quite intense cramping but it only lasts a few seconds. Is this is all signs my body is preparing itself. I don't see my midwife till I'm 40+3 so can't ask her till then?
I haven't lost my mucus plug or atleast not noticeably.

Anyone else think the worst piece of advice for a first time mum is ‘you’ll be able to tell when you are in labour’!

Looking back I was in early labour for over a week, and while my hospital records say my labour was 1hr 14 mins it was actually closer to 10 hours. But I didn’t actually realise I was in labour ‘cause there would be no doubt about it’ so I only just made it to the hospital really!

It doesn’t help that I also mistook ‘regular contractions’ to mean they must be coming at regular intervals eg 1 min on 4 mins off, not like mine which were more like 1 min on 5 mins off 40s on 3 mins off ect.

I’m having my baby tomorrow

I have just found out that I am going to be induced tomorrow. After a rough pregnancy this is the best decision for us I will be 39 weeks and 5 days. Anyone got any tips or advice to make the process smoother.

Baby Movement

I’m 19w2d and am super anxious to feel baby move. I’m a plus size girlie and read it can take a little longer for us to feel movement. When did you all feel your baby move for the first time?!!
