40 weeks back pain

I got really intense lower back pain/ pressure last night. Started around 7pm and stuck around for some of the night. I feel a bit more normal again this morning. Any thoughts on what this might have been? Got told at my recent midwife appointment that the baby has moved back to back so thought it might be the start of labour but since it stopped I assumed not. Anyone had similar?

I had this last night, it was so uncomfortable! But I’m only just over 38 weeks so put it down to preparing for labour.
The pain was so intense and the pain was coming for around a minute and then stopping and I really did think I might of been going in to labour, but i managed to get some sleep and this morning I do feel better but nervous it will come back as it wasn’t the best feeling.

Best thing to do is speak to triage since you’re 40weeks! Just to be on the safe side x

Small head reported following 20 week scan

Has anyone else had it flagged that their baby is in the bottom 5th percentile for head size?

They said everything was fine whilst we were in the scan and then I got a phone call the next day saying that it’s on the small side and we’re being referred to a paediatric specialist at St George’s. Has anyone else had this and how did things go??

Would you bring 9 week old to a family party of 35+ people?

These are also people who will want to pass the baby around and get a turn to hold him. He just got his 2 month shots two days ago

Exercise 6 weeks after c section

What movement did people start to introduce? I won’t do anything too vigorous until I’ve seen the pelvic physio as I don’t want to compromise anything that may have been extremely weakened through pregnancy! But just wondering what types of classes/movement people started off with?

Is this normal??

I’m 29 weeks pregnant and having really aching legs and they’re all lumpy and swollen. Above the knee and behind the knee . Should I be worried ? My legs have never looked like this up until a few days ago. ??
