Gas cramps

Anyone else getting these? I’ll get a really weird crampy feeling almost period like, then a minute later I pass gas. It’s so annoying!! Never had this with my first born 😩

me sadly 🥲

Finally someone , I have it . Think I have trapped gas too because I’ll wake up in the middle of the night and my stomach would hurt but won’t let me pass .

Same going through the pain as we speak. Something that has been helping in a small way is chewing gum and it turns the gas into burping

I think I've some gas too and slightly constipated as well. The struggle is real

I’ve ordered some gas x! I used it in the past and it works really well. I recommend this to the girlies going through this 🥲😩

Is it like your lower stomach gets tense? I get this when I caugh and then I realize it’s the constipation also..?

All night the other night and I was out for my friend's birthday 🤦‍♀️

High risk

I’m considered high risk because I was fully dilated when I had an emergency C-section with my first and there’s risks I could go into pre term labour so I have cervical length scans every 2 weeks between 16-22/24 and I’m aloud to try for a vbac if I go into spontaneous labour by 40 weeks but I’ll have a planned C-section booked for week 40 ( which I’m really hoping doesn’t happen )Just wondering if anyone else had similar experiences I’m just very overwhelmed and hoping people have maybe had a good successful full term pregnancy & birth despite what IVE previously mentioned x

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.

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?

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!! 😭💟

6.2 days no heart beat

So from my flo ap, I was supposed to be 6.2 days yesterday which is when I had an internal scan. everything was seen but no heartbeat :( she measured me at 2.2 mm which is more like 5+5 weeks but I’m freaking out. Any positive stories please :(

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. 🤷🏼‍♀️
