Toddler elbowed belly, 38W

Hi all, my toddler was sitting in my lap and slid off and jammed her elbow into my pregnant belly on the way down. It hurt when it was happening but doesn’t hurt as much now. Should I be concerned/call my OB? Thank you!

You could ask OB just in case but when I asked my OB about a similar situation she said If no cramping/continued pain or bleeding baby is probably fine.

She assured me the baby has plenty of cushion in the womb

I don’t think you need to worry unless something feels off! I literally just had a car accident — the airbag hit my belly and the seatbelt tightened a lot… and the baby and I are totally fine haha

Uuugh, that sensation hurts so much! No issues though. I have a very whirlwind child that turns two on the 17th and he has accidentally elbowed my belly countless times.

I got smashed square in the belly by a football at 27 weeks pregnant (wrong place wrong time). I called the office and they told me to keep an eye out for visible bruising, cramping, bleeding, or decrease in fetal movement. Everything turned out fine. Worth a call just to be safe.

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.

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!

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.
