Period pain type feeling
I'm 31 weeks + 3 days. In the past week I've had a few bouts of what feels like period pain. It's not a sharp pain just more of a mild cramp and doesn't last more than 30 mins.
Has anyone else experienced this??
I thought it might be Braxton Hicks but I can't say it feels like a horizontal tightening like that is supposed to.
I saw the midwife on Friday, she didn't seem too concerned but didn't really say it was normal either so I don't know how to feel about it.

I've experienced this. Turns out it was Braxton Hicks but any concerns phone triage and take their advice
Yes but honestly I think they're more crampy signals to go to the loo or pass wind which I don't seem to be doing as often.
I had this too at that stage I’m 34/35 weeks now and it’s settled but my midwife says it’s all very normal. I also had increased discharge too which had changed which is also apparently very normal x

Is it a bad idea to watch "one born every minute" when pregnant?
So I am 16 weeks and 5 days now and I want to try to prepare myself for what's to come. I have had mixed reactions to the idea of watching child birth docs/TV shows such as one born every minute. What do people think? I have never seen the show before myself, Will this be helpful or am I going to scare myself? 😂😂

Fibroids and home birth?
I’ve got a small fibroid but even though it’s small the consultant still recommended I don’t home birth. The home birth team don’t seam concerned and are still happy for me to go ahead…. it’s higher risk of haemorrhaging but after doing research I can actively manage this by getting the placenta out straight away… I’m not worried, if I have to go to hospital so be it ,but I’d rather try to continue with a home birth as planned. Anyone else have any experience with this?

Breach at 38 weeks
Baby has been engaged at every scan from 28 weeks, last one at 36 weeks and was 3/5 engaged!
Last night I fet baby move and im sure theyve turned breach, whole bottom of my stomach feels empty, kicks feel like they're in my lower tummy and rock hard under my ribs.
I have another growth scan tomorrow and was scheduled for a sweep straight after but I dont think that will go ahead now.
Can baby be turned this far along still?
Absolutely petrified of the thought of a cesarean, (i actually passed out at them just describing one when I went to labour classes with my first born)
