I'm 34 weeks. Breathing techniques and slight movements really helps me. My yoga teacher suggested this and it works almost immediately. The trick is to try and relax your muscles when that happens. Hope it helps you as well :)

Practicing your breathing the same way you would for contractions definitely helps. Getting up and moving around also does - but again that’s recommended through contractions too. Staying hydrated also really good.

TMI: No judgement please but do you think I should go to a hospital tonight or I’ll be fine til my appointment next week?

A gush of brownish red blood came out, like it squirted out while I was standing. I’ve been cramping the past few days, I’m supposed to be around 7 weeks pregnant but at the last appointment doctor couldn’t really tell even with the vaginal ultrasound..there was a faint heart beat but I’m kinda worried I’m miscarrying

Midwife visits

how many PP midwife visits have you had and at what point??
I’m 3 weeks PP tomorrow, had a midwife come out on day 1 and then day 5 and got told at the day 5 visit that a midwife would come out again once baby has reached birth weight so that we could be discharged, yet she’s been back to birth weight for a week and we’ve heard nothing from midwife’s. all contact now seems to be only from a health visitor but she’s not coming back until another 3 weeks.
Should we have had another midwife visit post day 5, or have atleast heard from them during this time…? 15 days no contact at all makes me assume i won’t?

What do you guys think? Or any other suggestions similar? X

Labor question

I’ve always had pretty bad periods in regards to pain. I hear that contractions feel like really bad period cramps. If you’ve had bad cramps did your contractions feel way worse or was it a bit better since you had already experienced bad cramps?
