Period pains

I had my son in may of 2022. Prior to that I never had any menstrual pains, and nothing out of the norm except for extremely heavy bleeding. I have always gone through a super tampon in less than an hour. After my son, I started getting cramps with my periods and I assumed it was normal because duh I just completely changed my uterus for nine months. Well now about 6-7 months ago every time I have my period, it increasingly becomes worse. So bad that I got over my fear of someone peering into my hole and went for an ultrasound at my ob. My ultrasound came back clean for both my ovaries and my uterus. The only abnormal thing is that I have a slightly tilted back uterus. That was about two months ago and I was also prescribed naproxen.
Fast foward to today and I can hardly move. I feel like everything near my uterus is twisting and trying to snap. I just tried to pee and I couldn’t even push without feeling like I was going to push my uterus out and I was cramping SO BAD trying to pee. I keep having to hold my breath trying to get through the worst cramps. What do I do? What is happening?

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?
