I’ve got 4 weeks I feel exact the same. Find it so hard to take the dogs for a walk

The same! It's the heartburn and bouts of insomnia for me... Nearly there! All worth it!

Oh god the insomnia, tired all day but then wide awake when getting into bed 😴

Same!!! Absolutely horrific - I have to wear a pelvic support belt to walk anywhere outside of my house 🫠🫣 doesn’t help that my 18kg toddler wants to be carried every now and then 💆‍♀️

Omg I’m going through the same. The sciatica is killing me. I was prescribed pain med but kinda scared to take it

I have 6 days left…eviction notice has been served. I cannot walk, sleep or get comfy anymore. Finding it very hard now mentally and physically.

Ah also struggling here! I had a scare last week at 33+3! Had a bleed and then contractions in hospital for 3 days! But cervix was closed and everything has settled down now! So weird! Obviously hoping baby cooks a little longer but also feeling SO uncomfortable and heavy down there! Also now just a bit paranoid about all twinges. Thought second time would feel simpler but definitely doesn’t!
Hang in there ladies! We are all freaking amazing!!!! This is not easy! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

I’ve got 6 weeks left 🥰 feeling exhausted! The insomnia is real! But taking each day as they come. Can’t wait to meet our baby girl 🫶🏻

I’ve got 3 weeks I started dilating and my belly is bruised from how little space my baby has 😫. The pinched nerve in my back/hip is the worse thing ready for this baby to be born. Otherwise so happy baby & I are healthy!! 🥰

Yep same I'm due January 2nd 3 weeks left and I'm so tired

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?

Little girl turning herself sideways in next to me

My little girl tonight, has spun herself so she is lying sideways in her next to me, making me panic!

Is this normal at 4.5 months, do I just lie her back normally/vertically?

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?

Groin pain?

So I’m 34 weeks with my second and for a couple days now I’ve had terrible groin pain so bad that sometimes I can’t even walk or shift a certain way or I feel like the baby is just gonna rip out of my groin… I definitely was uncomfortable towards the end with my last pregnancy but this is just absolutely awful. Is anyone else experiencing this? Or anything that helps?? It’s making it so hard to still care for a toddler when I can barely move without pain..
