Moving like crazy

I have no idea if increased movements is a good or a bad thing. My baby is usually so chill I forget sometimes about her but tonight. Omg! She won't keep still. I've never felt her move this much throughout my whole pregnancy and it's not comfy one bit. I'm like calm tf down! Is it something I should be concerned about or just try to enjoy it? As atm I am not enjoying these movements. Making me feel sick. (36+2 wks)

I went in to the hospital when my baby was moving too much as it was unusal for her too. Might be worth it just to check. The advice is a bit confusing as some say get checked about any change, including increase and others say get checked if there is a reduction. So I decided to go in just in case and it was all fine in the end. Hope you feel better soon 💕

I never went to get checked out but just waited till I seen my midwife, she said it’s normal and with them growing so much in the last few weeks, there probably not moving more but there just bigger and stronger so your much more aware of it. I’m sure my baby is trying to escape sometimes…he has me up all night 😂😂

I’m almost 38 weeks and mine is moving like it’s having a rave in the evening - glad they’re saying hello but omg it makes me cringe!!!

I’ve been told ‘an active baby is a happy baby’ and that you feel movements more toward the end as they are running out of room 😅

Online advice is so conflicting because it says to get checked for reduced and increased, yet when I was contracting and spoke to triage about increased movements being a concern they said that isn’t the case?! He still has bouts of crazy movement which I’m putting down to having sweet fa room now but if you are worried then a call to triage may always put you at ease x

Thanks guys. I know about reduced but it was really just out of the blue as she's never moved like it before. It's like you ok in there... only got 1 more week to go and then you're free. She's been pretty chill again now. Just those few hours from about midnight to about 3am she's decided to kick the living shite out of me 😅

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!

Ways to induce labor naturally

Hi All! FTM, Entering week 40 and no signs of labor, no dilation yet. Please share tips and ways to induce natural labor. Induction is already scheduled on week 41 but don’t want to go through that process.

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?

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

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
