34 weeks and not feeling Braxton hicks or contractions

Hi gals! I am currently 34 weeks and I still can’t feel Braxton hicks or contractions. My midwife said that they are happening anyway, it’s just me not feeling them. I am the only one here?

I didn’t feel any Braxton hicks during my first pregnancy. Some people just don’t have them, it’s just another pregnancy symptom that could happen but could also not. I went into labor naturally a day before my due date so no need to worry!

that’s weird because my midwife said that everyone had them, it’s just that some ppl don’t feel them…

🤷🏻‍♀️ I have them this time around. I definitely did not “feel” them my first pregnancy then. My OB said second and subsequent pregnancies tend to have them since your body already knows what it’s doing.

I have been having them in this pregnancy but can’t didn’t have them in my first. No everyone feels them

Sometimes my belly feels tight and hard which I think is a braxton hick. It happened in my first too but I always thought it was just babies positioning. ☺️

I just have gas pains lol no Braxton hicks so far! I'm 33 weeks tomorrow in my second pregnancy

Wdy think of this for a toddler to learn word construction?

I'm open to anything else to start teaching him to read and write. He's 3!

Do men really enjoy fellatio?

Been together more than 10 years, but it's been a while since he even seemed remotely interested in me getting on my knees, or vice versa so to speak. I think it was once last year. Must be something I am doing wrong 🤔. Generally everything else in that department is great and we have two young kids with no extra support, so it's quite surprising we can't keep our hands off each other but may need to try new things. It's basically 2 positions each time with some foreplay.

Car seat crying

My 6 month old PANICS the second I put him in a car seat and screams, cries, chokes and recently even projectile vomited on a 14 minute drive. It’s gotten to the point I don’t even bring him out unless it’s to a doctors appointment. I’m a stay at home mom with no family in my state and it has been very isolating. We’ve tried 3 different car seats with no improvement. Has anyone had a baby who hated the car seat? Any advice? This started at 3 months. I will add it does seem worse when he’s tired. He does cry on every trip though. He only contact naps and co sleeps so he reaches for me and will not sleep in the car seat.

Vanilla extract

Has anyone used alcohol free vanilla in their babies formal to help them drink?
I’m 100% sure my baby refuses her bottles as she doesn’t like the taste of it!

Just anxious to try it, don’t want her to get used to it and then refuse bottles again after two weeks of using (correct me if I’m wrong but I’ve read you use it for 2 weeks max)

TIA 🙂

Sex post C section

Hi ladies I’m 4 weeks 5 days postpartum and I had a C section. I’m not bleeding properly anymore just some brownish discharge stuff that starts on and off. I’d like to do the deed with my partner; is it okay to do so or shall I wait the full 6 weeks. I feel up for it but also worried because the advice is 6-8 weeks.

Can someone pls help i keep making this post and nobody is responding

My boyfriend booked a trip for us to go to mexico for a week as my push present. I have severe anxiety leaving my 7 month old with my mom. I know she will be in good hands but she’s exclusively breast fed for the most part but accepts bottles just fine. i have all my pumping parts packed and will pump when baby normally eats but i don’t want baby to forget me or have latch issues when i return!! any mommas ever experience this?
