Sharp stabbing pain on left side of belly

Not a contraction but just a pain. It’s only when I move around and it’s been a few hours. Should I be concerned? Baby is moving but it hurts when she kicks that area.

Calling your nurse line is never a bad idea.

I don’t have a nurse line. It’s wait until my OB opens in 3 hours or go to the hospital 🫠

That's wild to me. Even when I lived in a super small town there was a nurse line connected to the OBs office. They weren't local, but they could answer questions.
That feels ethically gray, at the very least, on the part of your OB for not having an on call line for pregnant women.

Can you call the hospital and talk to their nurses?

brutal right? So i went into the hospital and there were no beds. 🙄 shuffled some folks around and they said likely caused by stress and dehydration so no baby yet

Baby boy is here!

Just had baby boy this morning at 5:49am 🥹🥰 I was in labor for 10 hours and pushed him out within 9 pushes. I cried tears of joy for like 20 minutes. All that pain was worth seeing his adorable little face and chubby cheeks 🫶🏾

Obstetrician led

I’m having shared care between midwife’s and obstetrician.

My previous pregnancy I had extra growth scans as baby was measuring big and I had pre-eclampsia during labour and a full dilated emergency C-section.

This time round I’m having obstetrician appointments, midwives appointments, cervical length scan every two weeks from 16-22/24, and extra growth scans again .

I’m just finding it all a lot to process can anyone let me know there experiences and if they went on to have a happy pregnancy despite it

Polly??

My 3 year old son is completely insistent that baby sisters name will be Polly. I think he just got attached ages ago after hearing it shouted in the park and now it does matter what name we suggest, even if he says he likes it, he still insists her name is Polly.

Now I dont hate it but its not really what I imagine for my daughter either?? I typically like full (yet girly) names with a cute nickname that can work in either a professional setting or out of work.

I think Polly just feels like a cute nickname to me? Also, I had an imaginary friend heavily inspired by Polly Pocket as a child so I dont think that helps 🤣

We just cant seem to agree on any names as a family so a bit stumped!

Mums that have kids🥰

When you gave birth and came back home with your newborn. When people wanted to come visit you straight away. How did you feel?

Everyone has different experiences I’m so curious x

Movements

How are people with no obvious ‘pattern’ monitoring baby movements?

My babies movements vary so much day to day, there is no pattern I can see whatsoever.

For example, over the weekend i felt him a few times during the day but nothing crazy, Monday & Tuesday he was wild in there and I felt movement on and off all day, today back to a few times.

When it varies this much I have no idea how I’m supposed to work out what is ‘normal’ and when to be worried!!!

Growth scan!

I recently had a growth scan and baby is 3 pounds and 13 oz I’m currently 29 weeks and 1 day. I’ve been told that they want to check for diabetes next week. Is there anything to worry about?
