Burger pink in middle

32 weeks, ate in a restaurant abroad (EU) and didn’t realise until half way through that lumps of my burger were pink (amongst cooked burger).

Is the worry only if I get sick?

Was it a beef burger? I have just been in France and had the same thing, didn’t matter how well I asked it to be cooked it was still really pink in the middle. I believe it’s only if it makes you sick that it’s a problem.

yes beef burger! & I thought the same about being sick but then just read you can have toxoplasmosis with no symptoms 🤔

The food recommendations are just due to the fact that your immune system is compromised so issues like food poisoning are harder for your body to deal with. I really wouldn't worry, it's a pretty low risk and some countries (France being one) don't have same restriction recommendations when it comes to food.
If you do start feeling unwell just monitor movements and contact your midwife / triage depending how bad x

Thank you for the reassurance both ❤️

I think it's the risk of listeria that is the concern when it comes to eating pink meat, which can impact baby. However I'm not sure if thats just in the first trimester, or what they do to determine if you have this x

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! 🥰

Help

I was getting pretty painful period cramps and during those, I had painful lower back cramps. I had these on and off for like a few hours so from about 10:30pm to 1am?

I’ve had no show, or anything like that.

Is this braxton hicks or early labour pains?

Labour??

I’ve had on/off mild period cramps since 9 last night, very irregular and very mild, but I just had one that woke me up. My waters haven’t gone and nor has my mucous plug… but could this be a sign that it’s close?! I’m 40+3 and desperate to meet her!

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?
