cramping

This is baby number 2 for me, and with baby number 1 i never felt the contractions until i had been on Pitocin for 10 ish hours. i am cramping in my lower abdomen area as well as above my belly button and inside my vagina.
i wasn’t sure what this could be as far as round ligament pain, Braxton hicks, etc.
i was at the ob yesterday and was dilated 1.5 cms. The top of my belly ( above belly button ) is pretty firm, but below is still pretty squishy.

Im the same way and im ready for baby to come out. With my daughter I I didn’t have any kind of discomfort but this pregnancy has been difficult. I’m 37 weeks and 1cm dilated

Any update?
I'm the same I was induced with all 3 of my kids, and I have period like cramps right now. I was 3 cm yesterday

I started cramping for three days last week with the stomach tightening, and then it stopped, and then it started again this week for the same three days. Last week I was 1 cm dilated and now I am 2 cm dilated at 37wks. I’m scheduled to be induced at 39 weeks if he doesn’t come before then, and this is my first pregnancy.

Day out after c section

Hey,
I had an emergency c section 1 week ago I obviously don't want a day out right now but I have things booked for the Easter holidays so in 2 weeks. I was just wondering if I will be overdoing it if I have a day out then or will I be ok? I would still take it as easy as I could. When did everyone feel good enough to go out?

Reduced Movements

Has anyone else gone in for monitoring for reduced movements and as soon as you arrive at triage the baby starts moving and the CTG is normal? It makes me feel like I am over reacting.

Newborn stage

Is anyone tired of doing the same thing everyday and being on a 2-3 hour schedule? It’s the same everyday and I feel like I’m losing my mind. It’s making me depressed even if I get out once a day. When does it get better? I feel like I’m just waiting for the next stage where it’s not just sitting around all day.
