May 2025 Babies 🇺🇸

New mom

Around five months does your belly get really hard in the middle? Is that normal because I was laying randomly and my stomach just started like pulsing and then it just got really firm the belly.

That could be Braxton Hicks or it also could be the baby turning. I experienced that when my baby turned. Either way it’s absolutely normal and if you are extremely concerned just give your doctor a call for reassurance.

Even I feel high pulse rate while laying down or after meals. I am 5 weeks too. My stomach feels hard too but mostly after lunches through the rest of the night

Sounds like Braxton hicks to me pretty normal at this stage your body is practicing for labor

Oh my 😭

Braxton hicks. I’ve been getting em since the beginning of my second trimester and I get them all the time! So annoying! I’ve been to the hospital for them twice but they assured me that it’s ok that I’m having them as much and as often as I am as they did an ultrasound on my cervix and said it’s not shortening or dilating so they said everything’s ok and that I can still work and do everything I normally do. I just find them annoying and honestly nerve wracking.

Confused Over Test Result

My heads pretty blagged about this atm. I’ve had spotting & some cramping but of the 2 tests I’d have expected the clear blue one to be most accurate. Any advice?

Please be nice as I have anxiety…

So I’m 20 weeks pregnant and I went to the hospital for light bleeding when I wipe ( not ever time though).. the doctor told me it was due to sex and that my cervix was irritated has anyone else experienced this? And or know way to just calm my anxiety from it

Anyone else due 1st May?

I’m wondering whether I’ll have an April or May baby, thought she’d be late originally because she’s my first but I’ve had this weird feeling recently she’ll be early… if you’re in the same position what do you think?

Anxiety with the bump.

I’m 36 weeks pregnant and I’ve suddenly developed a massive anxiety around anyone standing behind me. My husband is annoying me so much because even though I’ve told him how it makes me feel, he’s continued doing stuff in our kitchen (that is tiny anyway) and sliding past me to grab things. I know the baby is safe even if I were to bump the bump a little but even the thought of it is still making extremely anxious. How do I cope with this feeling and is anyone else going through the same sort of thing?
