38 weeks and cramping

Did the miles circuit and ate pineapple yesterday along with stepping up and down my steps for 10 minutes.
Got comfy for the night only to have consistent full period like cramps.
Thought with rest it’d change. But now moving into the morning they are still here.

I’m not contracting or anything but I’m just cramping like I’m on my period and babies movements have become very uncomfortable.

Anyone else experience this?
I was induced for both my other pregnancies. So going into natural labor isn’t something I’m familiar with.

Hey I’m exactly in the same boat. I’m 39+5 and I have had the worst period cramps all night. I have also been spotting. Not bleeding just spotting when wiping its brownish light blood.

I’ve had this for a couple days now, no true labor yet but my midwife said this does happen as your body is practicing for the real thing, just forget about it and get some rest until it is obvious and trackable

Could mean things are happening soon tho!! Hopefully I’m next today or tomorrow please!!!

Yeah I had this tooo and she told me it’s because baby is positioning themselves even lower

How do actual contractions feel like? The current cramping is almost unbearable. I couldn’t sleep a single minute

Oh my God, oh my God I hope this is not true!!!! I’m kind of scared

I’ve been throwing up and taking a shit all night!!! I just hope that it’s not what I think it is

Scan needed at 33 weeks

Hi ladies! I just had a midwife appointment (I am 33+5)..the midwife was different to my usual midwife. She's requested I have a scan within 72 hours as she said baby is measuring a little small, however, she did say that it's likely nothing to worry about and it's probably just her measuring me a bit different to my usual midwife. Has anyone else had this? Am a bit worried although babys heartbeat and movements are completely fine.

Finding out gender

Has anyone found out the gender at a private scan at 14 weeks? And has this been accurate?

I found out at 17 with my first but I know a scan place that offers from 14/15 weeks and I’m impatient 😂🥲

Hi

Hi guys so I’m 25 weeks today and I haven’t felt the baby kick at all yet at the scans she’s moving constantly that it’s hard to get the right measurements my first pregnancy was cryptic so I just want suggestions from one worried mother

Rolling milestone at 5 months - What’s typical ?

Good morning ladies,

My daughter will be 5 months old tomorrow, but there’s still no sign of her rolling. She does tummy time and loves lying on her mat, playing with hanging toys above her and to the sides, but she only lifts her legs and doesn’t seem interested in rolling or moving sideways yet.

Anyone else the same or have your babies already learnt how to roll yet ?

Thank you

Random one!

My 5 month old has only ever had tears from one eye the other has never had a single tear, it doesn't look red gunky or anything just never had a tear?
Is this anything to worry about ? I did ask the doctor while she was younger but it's still going on!
