Pressure down there?

Hi recently I've noticed when I'm walking I feel pressure 'down there' specifically my urethra, feels like I need to empty my bladder but I don't. Is this just baby's position? It's so uncomfortable

I also was getting this for the past 4 weeks I was beginning to waddle and take breaks when walking, had a scan yesterday and found out she’s head up 😂 after being head down most of my pregnancy biggest shock turns out my baby just liked to push her legs down on my bladder

Probably

I get this time to time when I went for a scan baby was head down. Could be due to baby position.

Yes I’ve been feeling more pressure especially when walking. My baby is head down so guessing that’s why I’m experiencing it

My baby has beenhead down since around 28 weeks and I've struggled on my dog walks because it hurts so much! I find after about 5 minutes of feeling desperate to wee and pain it goes away thankfully

First Midwife Appointment

I had my first midwife appointment yesterday, I've been left full of worry is this normal?

She came to my house, she was so lovely I do feel lucky to have such a good midwife. The meeting was about an hour and a half.

There was so much information to take in I was very overwhelmed!
She went through all the scans testing etc, I never knew there could be so much 'wrong' with a baby. I have now booked an early scan I am freaking out.

I've been googling statistics all morning

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.

Random question

I am currently experiencing a bit of stress, as I already have a child at home, my menstrual cycle is overdue by two days, I am suffering from stomach discomfort after consuming food and feeling nauseous throughout the day, have a mild cramps, very fatigue, and I noticed a slight pink discharge while wiping, and the pregnancy test I took today showed a negative result. I am quite confused and could use some advice.

Baby congestion relief

My baby gets very congested particularly at night time and gets a very blocked nose and starts snorting. I’m looking into getting an air purifier/ humidifier to try and help any recommendations/tips?

Will bring up during my HV appointment next week also!
