The only thing you can do right now is start timing the contractions, if they're regular, call the birthing center and they'll guide you on what to do next.

With the lower back pain and pressure included I’d say start timing the contractions. You might need to be checked in the hospital, congrats mama!

Questioning if I should be concerned

I had an etopic pregnancy last January which resulted in losing my right tube.

We just found out we were pregnant 2 weeks ago when I was 8dpo and since then, my line progression has done well. I ended up getting bloodwork done last week on Thursday which my hcg was 88 which I didn’t know until today after my ultrasound-

Today I am to be 5 weeks and 2 days well..

I had an ultrasound vaginal and stomach, I was told she couldn’t see anything and I was asking if we should be concerned. The nurse then told me what my hcg was on Thursday and said that it is very very early. I told her why we came early was to make sure we do not lose another tube. She said they wouldn’t see it until 6 plus weeks.

I just don’t know if I should be worried about her not seeing a gestational sac- nothing. And I was told to come back in 3 weeks.

Does my hcg of being 88 truly mean I am earlier then what I had thought.

Just looking for some comfort please, I don’t want to go through waves of feeling like everything is going to be alright and then crashing.

My line progression and flo dates I apparently ovulated on the 3rd of March

Should I be concerned. I am thinking to get more labs done to see what my hcg has went up to and hopefully they can tell me if it’s good or not.

Toddler asked how I got pregnant 😂

I’m currently 27 weeks pregnant with my third baby. My oldest daughter, who just turned 3 last December, asked me today how her baby brother got into my belly 😂. She caught me off guard, and I didn’t have a quick answer, so I told her to remind me later so I could explain it to her.I need ideas for what I would tell her.

Lightning Crotch in labour?

This might be a stupid question, but can anyone who has given birth before tell me, do you get lightning crotch pains during labour as well as contractions? I'm finding lightning crotch to be really intense at the moment, it takes my breath away and makes me tense up, I'm not sure how I'll be able to stay relaxed with that constant sharp stabbing pain. Can anyone shed any light?

Getting to hospital

We live in Fulham, London and don’t have a car. Wondering about if I go into labour how to get to the hospital 😆 Also don’t have any friends and family who live nearby who’s car we could borrow. How do we get baby back home? Random things to think about 🤔
