Not to worry you more but I’ve not experienced any contractions this pregnancy or more last before labour

Probably Braxton hicks. I got those around 30 weeks with my first and haven’t had any yet this pregnancy.

I honestly only get 1-2 Braxton hicks a day this is my third pregnancy

I agree with Ashley, keep note of them and bring it to the doctors attention. Did they say why you might be getting them so early? Are you expecting to have baby before due date? Like do you have something that predisposes you to early contractions. I have had none and with my first didn't get Braxton Hicks till after 32 or 34 weeks.

Contractions? I get crampy but that’s because I have to shit. Contractions this early seems… not normal

I haven’t had any nor with my last pregnancy
I was asked at my appointment on Tuesday if I started having them so sounds normal

Visitors after C-Section

I’ve firmly expressed I don’t want visitors when we’re in the hospital and likely not for a while when home. I want us to be able to adjust but also for me to start to recover, I’ve got a condition that causes seizures and poor wound healing so anticipating it could potentially be difficult at first.

I don’t want to be unfair to people, but I know it’s going to be detrimental mentally for me to have people. I’ve been pushed on specifics on how long and said “we’ll say 2 weeks for now including the hospital and then let people know.” I can tell that my mom is not happy in the slightest and there’s been a few comments.

What do others recommend? Is it better to just grit your teeth and get people over to keep the peace? Is it wrong to want the space?

No bleeding after c section

9 days post op and I’ve not been bleeding at all.. I only bled some clots for the first 24-48 hours but nothing after that. Midwives are advising this is normal, has anyone else experienced no bleeding after c section?

31 weeks movement

My baby moves all the time but is anyone else finding that the movement are more rolls and pushes than actual jabs! I only get jabs and kicks now if I am laying down but during the day I mainly get rolls and pushing. I haven’t been worried that his movements have reduced just different kinds of moving.

Period like pains

I’m 35 weeks tomorrow and having dull period like cramps in my lower belly and slightly in my lower back. Has anyone else had this? I’m wondering if it’s just general pregnancy stretching muscles etc or the start of something.. 😬
