I’m 31 weeks and I have the back ache but not the 💩 yet what do you guys mean by that? As in keep going to do a 💩

🤣🤣 I feel you an I'm only 28 weeks

The pain in bed 😭I’m 30w today and been getting the pain in bed at night since 23/24w…ouuuuch!!

There are some days I feel like my whole vagina is about to fall on the floor. Must depend on babies position cause its not everyday 😂

I googled it and it’s to do with pelvic girdle pain where you feel pressure in the bum and vagina, especially with the back pain. It’s just dependant on baby’s positioning. You’ll notice other days you don’t feel that pressure? 😅

keep going strong!

yeah that and just the pressure of baby on the bottom 🤣

it’s crazyyyy 🤣

it’s not nice! Hot water bottle had pillow between legs!! Are you using the birthing ball and pregnancy pillow? They do help tbh 💖

yesss or it feels puffy as if baby’s right there! Or standing up just feels so uncomfortable haha

I’ve tried 3 different types of pillows and using a heat bag feels so good but then where the temperature has gone up outside, I get very warm doing that 😭. I haven’t tried the birthing ball, so maybe I’ll give that a go next! I’ve been referred for physio so will see if that helps at all too!

yeah this weather is too much lol and oh okay, yeah try the birthing ball it’s helped me even if I just sit on it rather than doing exercise. I was referred to physio but no one got back to me 🤣 but hopefully they get in touch x

I had to follow the physio up myself to find out if the referral was successful - maybe it’s worth you chasing it? I’m very interested to see what they can suggest! With my first I could barely do stairs by the time I was 36 weeks 😭

well tbh I don’t see a point now, I feel better since I’ve been using my birthing ball otherwise I had really bad sciatica since 16 weeks or even earlier. Now I just have back pain which is obviously baby’s weight, I’m due to have my cervical stitch removed soon so I think I’ll be alright 💖

Update: so I’m sure if any of yous have seen my recent post but my waters broke nearly 12 hours ago 😅

Hospital bag (UK)

What did everyone pack for their section? I'm staying in for 3 days due to mental health, not really sure what I'll need to bring, feeling very nervous. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

Pregnancy after c section

What time scale did everyone get pregnant again after a c section?
I know the doc said they recommend eating at least a year to 18 months but it took 4 years to get pregnant the first time after being told we could not conceive naturally so not wanting to stop it happening knowing it could take a very long time again but also worried.

Labour

Think im a bit confused really, i went into traige as was having contractions eveey 3-5mins. Since being here im now having them every 2-3mins which was confirmed with the machine and i think the toco was 90-100 and they feel painful and my lower back is in loads of pain but apparently im only just over 2cm dilated maybe, she has said i can stay here for a bit longer to see if things progress as had a previous quick birth as well but i dont understand why the pains are coming this quick if im only 2cm dilated and feel a bit deflated from it also.

I had a sweep this morning also.

Baby due

My baby is due April 22 what should I put in my hospital bag

C section trauma ?

Is it a thing to be traumatised by a c section delivery? I’m 4 weeks pp after having an emergency c section. I won’t go into the ins and outs to what got me there 😂
Nothing went wrong in the surgery at all, it was just incredibly intense, overwhelming and scary, but luckily my baby was delivered safe!
However I’m finding my birth experience quite difficult to even think about and when I do, I feel a horrid gut wrenching feeling, my heart aches and I just uncontrollably cry! My body feels really alien to me, like it’s not my own and I just feel really let down.
