Labor?

Hey so I’ve been having excruciating lower back pain almost in my tailbone it feels like? I think I might be having contractions as well? I’m timing it right now but I just had a really bad cramp that lasted for a minute and 55 seconds? I’m not sure as this is my first baby and it might just be Braxton hicks getting more powerful?

How far along are you? Sounds like it might be the start of labor. Have you called your doctor?

it might be worth calling to see if you should go in. Braxton hicks are typically very mild and short. What you are describing doesn’t sound like that.

I was in yesterday and they told me “you need to keep hydrated” I’ve been having a very hard time eating and been getting very nauseous even if I drink water

Small head reported following 20 week scan

Has anyone else had it flagged that their baby is in the bottom 5th percentile for head size?

They said everything was fine whilst we were in the scan and then I got a phone call the next day saying that it’s on the small side and we’re being referred to a paediatric specialist at St George’s. Has anyone else had this and how did things go??

Would you bring 9 week old to a family party of 35+ people?

These are also people who will want to pass the baby around and get a turn to hold him. He just got his 2 month shots two days ago

Exercise 6 weeks after c section

What movement did people start to introduce? I won’t do anything too vigorous until I’ve seen the pelvic physio as I don’t want to compromise anything that may have been extremely weakened through pregnancy! But just wondering what types of classes/movement people started off with?

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 😂🥲
