Yes me 10 weeks and also started having them 2 days ago and not sure if they tummy pains or growing pains ? Xx

Yes I had. Now it got better at 10+4

I’m 8 weeks into my pregnancy and I get mild cramps

I’m not currently pregnant but this is very normal don’t worry! It would freak me out as well as it felt like my period coming on

I’m 11 weeks & I deffo experienced more cramping weeks 9 & 10! Apparently it’s when baby undergoes quite a big growth spurt! I try & think of my cramps as a sign my body is stretching to accommodate 🥰

It’s absolutely normal just growing pains hun :) xx

Yes I still get them now occasionally 11+5 x

Period like cramps

Hi
I’m currently 33 weeks pregnant and I keep getting period like cramps I thought these were Brixton hicks but I’ve heard they only last 30 seconds ish as this can go on for a good time frame then go away and come back, they aren’t bad enough where I can’t do basic things they just feel like I’m about to get my period I’m jus wondering how normal this is? Baby is still very actively kicking xx

C section or natural?

I am a control freak and thinking c section is the least stressful route for me and baby… less complications during labour etc. whilst acknowledging recovering can be hard.
If it could be guaranteed no tearing or complications then I would opt for natural and kind of want to experience the feeling.
Then again could plan and go either way 😂 arghh!
Anyone else in this predicament?

Midwife check

Can someone remind me when the midwife visits you at home? Is it the day after you’re discharged? And is that the same on the weekend or do they not visit then? Thanks!

Owlet

Anyone else’s owlet pi##ing them off ?!?! It goes off 5/6 a night saying it can’t get a reading and needs a snug fit. My baby is 8 months old so moves a lot. It is driving me insane and I keep end up taking it off!!
