Not stomach cramps but deffo loose stools! I was panicking as everyone else seems constipated. X

I had constipation with my first really badly but this pregnancy I’ve been having really loose stools and extremely gassy 😅 I had cramps for like nearly 3 weeks but now they have decreased

It’s weird because I’ve had a bit of the runs but now all of a sudden, nothing else wants to come out. I guess it’s all the hormones flying around!

Omg me right now my cramps are so uncomfortable and I’m burping so much

Omg yessssss I’m so bloated and gassy and having more loose stools and the cramps are cramping xxx

I’m only 4 weeks and I’m soooo gassy, loose stools and have cramps

Overwhelmed!

I’m due in June with my first baby, we started saving money before I found out I was pregnant and have continued to save money however, as we’ve needed to buy lots of baby stuff, decorate her room etc, we’ve not been saving no where near as much so obviously our total amount of savings hasn’t been going up as much as we like.

We’ve just had our renewal for some bills like council tax (which has gone up) etc. I just feel really deflated and thinking how on earth are we going to survive when I’m on maternity pay 😕

I know everything will be okay but it’s just really got to me today.

Did anyone else feel like this? Was there any help or things you did to make it easier?

Consultant booked c section for 39+4?!

Is this normal? I recently moved house so all my care was under a different hospital who advised thinking about a section after my last birth was awful with lots of complications and ended up in theatre anyway. I chose this and was told it would be at 38 weeks, also having issues with my heart, high blood pressure and preeclampsia symptoms again. But this new consultant would only book it for then but it makes me so anxious how close that is to my due date?? Is this normal?

Growth Scan

I have a growth scan today because my fundal height measurement has stayed the same at 29cm from when I was 28+5 weeks. Now I'm 32+3. Has anyone else experienced this? It has made my growth chart go from just under 90th percentile to under 10th.

Name crisis

I was so decided on a name, now I'm having second thoughts. It's not a standard name and his middle name is set after my Dad, John. He's very traditional and I know he'll hate the first name I chose! Open to any ideas! I would love if the initials sounded right too! Again, middle name "John". Thank you ladies!! 😭💟

Which induction method??

Im at the hospital now for induction and dont know which method to go for.
I initially didnt want the balloon because the sweeps really hurt me and I feel it will be most uncomfortable but seems like the highest success rate? And no hormones.

What has everyone else done and recommend?

Growth spurt?

At 32 weeks lg measured at 6th centile. Today, 34 weeks she measures 28th centile. I was so certain these things doesn't happen so late in pregnancy? Another scan at 36 weeks. Midwife said It could be undermeasure at 32 weeks, overmeasure today or *ust right and we will see where she plots in two weeks time. 🤷🏼‍♀️
