Check your prenatal for sufficient nutrients especially B complex. Ask your doctor if you can start B complex separately too. Electrolytes help me much more than water for leg cramps. Coconut water is the best natural electrolyte. Good luck 🍀

I had terrible legs cramps in the middle of the night during my first pregnancy. I’d have my husband rub magnesium spray on my legs before bed and I swear I never had a cramp when I remembered to have him rub it on before bed.

Calm magnesium powder, drink before bed. This will help a lot

My provider recommended Magnesium Glycinate for the insomnia, leg cramps and joint pain I’ve endured.

They also recommended other magnesium supplements like Natural Vitality CALM, Thorne, Pure Encapsulations, and Klair labs to help with insomnia, constipation, healthy blood sugar levels, and anxiety. In case any of this is helpful for you too!

Induction?

Anyone been induced before? Was it more painful? Better than thought? Worse than thought? Worth it? Thoughts?

C section or natural?

I am a control freak and thinking c section is the least stressful route for me and baby… less complications during labour etc. whilst acknowledging recovering can be hard.
If it could be guaranteed no tearing or complications then I would opt for natural and kind of want to experience the feeling.
Then again could plan and go either way 😂 arghh!
Anyone else in this predicament?

Has anyone ever had pain in the bone at the bottom of the lady area?

How I can only describe it is I feel like I have a fracture or the bone is broken right at the bottom of my vagina bone obviously don’t think it’s to the extent but that’s how it feels. I had it in my last pregnancy and the pain went few months postpartum now it’s back again with this pregnancy. These are the results that u e googled I think I may have the first one has anyone every had this or something similar

Period like cramps

Hi
I’m currently 33 weeks pregnant and I keep getting period like cramps I thought these were Brixton hicks but I’ve heard they only last 30 seconds ish as this can go on for a good time frame then go away and come back, they aren’t bad enough where I can’t do basic things they just feel like I’m about to get my period I’m jus wondering how normal this is? Baby is still very actively kicking xx

Homebirth?

I am thinking I want a homebirth (second baby) for a few different reasons but my husband is very against it, he is worried about things going wrong and we are a 30 minute drive from the hospital. Has anyone been in a similar position and what did you end up doing? Any advice? 🙏
