Groin pain?

So I’m 34 weeks with my second and for a couple days now I’ve had terrible groin pain so bad that sometimes I can’t even walk or shift a certain way or I feel like the baby is just gonna rip out of my groin… I definitely was uncomfortable towards the end with my last pregnancy but this is just absolutely awful. Is anyone else experiencing this? Or anything that helps?? It’s making it so hard to still care for a toddler when I can barely move without pain..

i've had severe groin pain since 34 weeks. it comes and goes.. but heating pad (only on pelvis bone) but other than that i got nothing. i buffed it out sadly

Yes I’m 36 weeks and have had it since about 33 weeks. It’s terrible. Honestly the only thing that helps is wearing my belly band when I’m walking, taking a warm bath in epsom salts and resting!

i’ve had pain like this since i was 19 weeks pregnant 😭 i’ve tried everything and nothing helps. at least it’s almost over.

I have this too. I try to keep moving and walking about 2 miles a day and it kind of warms up and goes away as long as I'm moving. The biggest help for me is keeping my knees together. I was spreading my knees when bending over or doing things and that made it worse, it pulls all those ligaments apart. So try to keep everything together, stretching also helps, I've been doing the spinning babies stretches and that helps but go easy!

Rolling

My son is nearly 5 months old and he’s not showing any signs of even the slightest bit of being interested in rolling over. I practice with him all the time. I’m an anxious mum and I just worry he’s behind on his milestones😩

Epidural only worked on one side?

Did anyone else have an epidural that only worked on one side of their body? My left side went numb but my right side was staying to party.
I could also still move both limbs and walk immediately after birth. I raised it to the anaesthetist at the time and increased the dose/rotated me like a chicken, but we agreed for me to just power through rather than wait any longer.

It’s our me off a second birth tbh.

How to round out B belly ?

Has anybody actually found anything that helps to make a B belly baby bump look rounder? I hate that I just looked fat all the way through my first pregnancy ( for reference I'm size 16-18) and want to find something that will smooth out the center line ready for maternity photos this time round? Any advice please?

Anxiety!

So I’m currently 7 weeks and 1 day, I had a scan about a week ago so I would’ve been 6 weeks and 3 days, the crl was 7.0mm and there was possible cardiac activity detected. I’ve seen scans around the same time as me with bigger babies and clear heartbeats. I’m so so paranoid that the next scan isn’t gonna be good news as I expected to see a heartbeat at my last one.

Can anyone share their experiences if they’ve had similar? It’s my first pregnancy and until I see a heartbeat my mind just won’t settle. Here’s my recent scan picture

Question about period (EBF)

So EBF mamas, I know it can take a longgg time to start back your period after birth. I’m 12 weeks PP and still haven’t started but I’m wondering, is it normal to feel cramping for like a week or weeks before actually starting? I’ve been having cramping and then no period, I’m wondering if it’s going to come soon or what?
And also does it hurt really bad when it starts back and is it really heavy? or not for everyone? I want to know your experience!
Thank you ❤️
