Constant pain/pressure

I’m 31 weeks. Boy is measuring 2 weeks ahead in weight. It’s getting to the point I can’t lay on either side without It being so painful. Threw my back out Wednesday and getting pretty nervous just about weight and labor and my back.. today was the first day I felt super nauseous. Anyone else ?

That's how I'm feeling, I'm 34 weeks and have constant pressure in my hips and back, my doctor gave me the okay to use a heating pad, maybe try that?

I feel like a lot of Oct babies are coming early, I'll be 34 weeks Wednesday with di/di boys and I found out today from my Fetal NST I'm having constant painless contractions. The staff told me to watch out for lower back pain thay comes and goes because that's another way a strong labor ready contraction can be felt.

Exactly the same issues I’m having I’m almost 33 weeks and it’s not comfortable to lay down at all anymore because my legs go numb constantly to the point it hurts. I also have such broken sleep due to insomnia. 😩

Yep!
32w and feeling it!! SI joint pain anytime I lay down, makes it borderline excruciating to get up or roll over despite doing stretches etc.
Working with pelvic PT which is helping but am also considering getting a back massager for my desk chair to help it during the day.

finally have found my people. I’m 34 weeks and im having contractions all the time. Gonna beg for an induction tbh

Go to chiropractor and also get a prenatal massage!!! Be good to yourself

😭 31wks and baby is measuring 2wks ahead in length and in head size, and is at "4lbs" but the weight is just their best guess.

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.

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.

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.

Baby due

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