36+ 4 bad period type cramps

Anyone else suffering from really bad period type cramps since 4:30am this morning, baby moving fine. I will phoning maternity triage, just don’t want to have to go there if I don’t need to as I don’t have a car at the moment and it’s an hour bus journey then 20 minutes walk to the hospital 🫠

They wouldn’t have you in unless pain is regular and close together. Had same period pain and they said they don’t need to see me unless I bleed, waters break or pain in closer together and it has a pattern xx

Yes bad cramping here yesterday I had to stop in my tracks but it didn’t feel like contractions but just period cramping 😫

36 +6 and having this since this morning. Just feels constantly crampy, like a dull ache- I have no idea if it’s something or nothing 🤷🏻‍♀️

I’ve been having this since 32 weeks. I went into triage they did a cervical exam and nothing so sent me home. I was told it’s just your body getting ready, uterus stretching, baby moving down etc. hurts like hell though and kinda scary it’s not far off early contraction level pain 😅

I’ve been having them a lot! I am 35 + 3. I think some people just get much stronger braxton hicks than others?

So I saw my midwife today, I’m exactly 37 weeks, been struggling with severe period cramps that come and go every 20 minutes all day and she’s said it sounds like labours coming

Reduced Movements

Has anyone else gone in for monitoring for reduced movements and as soon as you arrive at triage the baby starts moving and the CTG is normal? It makes me feel like I am over reacting.

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.

Newborn stage

Is anyone tired of doing the same thing everyday and being on a 2-3 hour schedule? It’s the same everyday and I feel like I’m losing my mind. It’s making me depressed even if I get out once a day. When does it get better? I feel like I’m just waiting for the next stage where it’s not just sitting around all day.
