Contractions

I'm 37 weeks on Monday and feel like I'm having very irregular contractions. I've had Braxton hicks too, but what I'm experiencing now is painful, whereas the Braxton hicks weren't. But definitely they're not happening regularly at all so I'm sure it's not labour. I read that you can have contractions days or even weeks before labour begins - curious if anyone else is getting this?

Yes i was getting this today whilst i was at the cinemas just sat down doing nothing, they were bearable, and yes you can have contractions weeks before or even days, if you’re worried ring your local maternity assessment and speak to them

Not worried, just found it interesting as I don't remember experiencing this with my first born! It's so interesting, not knowing when things could all 'begin'.

Same as i was induced i dont know what to
Expext really

Out of context I’m 37 weeks on Monday to. 🩷

I started having contraction like pains when I was up in triage for reduced movement, they were every 10 mins. The doctor told me it could be just painful Braxton hicks and they hurt because of the position of baby x

My Braxton hicks we’re really painful, some of them I had to breath through

Feeling weird

Hey all. I went in for a reassurance scan this morning as I have been feeling consistent movement for the last few weeks, and then no movement since Sunday night, and some hiccups yesterday morning. While the nurse was doing my scan, she goes “are you eating enough?” Should I be worried about that comment? It has me feeling weird ever since :/

Waiting 18 months after a c section

Who had another baby before 18 months post c-section?

I didn’t want too much of a gap between babies but the HV said to wait 18 months before getting pregnant again. It took me a while to get pregnant the first time so if I wait that long and then it takes me a long time to get pregnant it could end up being years!

I can’t walk or move!

30 weeks pregnant and for the past week I’ve had this really weird pain all down my right hip, bum and leg. It’s like it all locks in place but if I bend down and I’m fine I come back up and get stuck. I can barely walk or move because every time I do I’m in agony. It’s so much worse at night time. Tried a hot water bottle on it and paracetamol and nothing seems to be helping it. Does anyone know what this is and what I can do to stop it?

Insomnia...

After two weeks of getting around 5 hours sleep a night, I've only managed to get an hour and a half sleep tonight and feel ready for the day - anyone else?
