What helps? Kick hurts on bottom right side

It feels like the baby kicks randomly towards the right bottom side like where the ovaries pain was sometimes during periods. Do you massage a specific way that helps the baby move position??? Any tips are helpful and appreciated. I try moving my position but sometimes he kicks again same spot after a while 🥺 and OUCH hahaha

I’m not sure we can do much lol but I usually just start stretching and moving him to the other side with little pushing motion with my two fingers or I get in a position on my knees and move my hips if he’s not being stubborn he’ll move

Sounds by the location it might be round ligament pain.

I've heard you can do the whole "cat-cow" back arch thing to try and get baby to move position. Haven't tried it yet. Haven't needed to. But may give it a go if the time presents itself lol

I heard from others that you can put an ice cube briefly to encourage baby to move away. Not sure if it works as I haven’t tried it but they say it helps

Thankfully it’s been happening less but all thats helped is shifting whichever side I’m laying on if I’m in bed or just massaging the area hoping he moves to the other side lol

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.

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.

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!
