I don’t know what I’m feeling anymore.

I’ve seen a lot of mums posting the same messages about being super uncomfortable and in lots of discomfort. I’ve had so many cramps, back aches and Braxton hicks, round ligaments pain, lightening crotch that have caused so much pain in my body, I don’t even know what I’m feeling anymore.
It’s all blurring into one, including babies movements. If it wasn’t for seeing my bump moving then I’ve lost all sense of sensation.

Is anyone else going through this?

💜💜💜 yes totally I've gone from "maybe I'll have this baby soon 😊' to oh my fucking god am I still pregnant? STILL? Ugh I forgot a little bit and just thought this was normal life. Birth will never come.

I could have written this. I gaslight myself into ignoring everything now. Back ache. Cramps. Ligament pains. Heart palps. Braxton hicks. I’m a ftm so I’m assuming we will just know when it’s not a false alarm but how the hell we’re supposed to tell I don’t know

Yeah my pain receptors are totally scrambled. If someone asked me where the pain was coming from I wouldn’t actually be able to pin point it anymore. I don’t know what feels sore and what feels ok 😢 I’m with my midwife in the morning so I’m going to speak with her.

I have midwife tomoro too and the poor woman is getting a list of symptoms. Luckily I have an induction booked a week today but that’s still a long ass week of this suffering!!

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?

32 weeks

32 week growth scan and clinic appointment. Did anything unusual happen? Ive heard a few people saying 32 weeks was when they had a induction date
