Upset stomach :(

This whole pregnancy I’ve been super constipated. I’m now 39 weeks and for the past 2 weeks I’ve been going pretty regularly and not constipated and they’re kinda soft. The past few days I’ve been going 1-2 times a day! Which is wild compared to my 2-3 times a week

Today I had a really loose BM this morning and now I feel super constipated again. I really feel like I need to go and it’s giving me an upset stomach I’m literally getting hot flushes trying to have a BM.

Is this normal?

Honestly the end of pregnancy is a bit wild isn’t it, is everything a sign or is it just life lol

Also today I had this wild wave of productivity to clean and garden and cook etc and I’ve been so busy all day but now I just feel crap

Sex!

Me and my husband are TTC. Sometimes after sex i have noticable drippage but other times, nothing noticeable at all but he says he finished inside. Usually aswell i notice more on the first fay of sex then little to none as it goes on if we had sex multiple days in a row. Im worrying , does that mean he didnt finish ? He says he did. I was wanting to ask, do you ladies always feel drippage? Or sometimes not? Im getting stressed out about it and a little disheartened x thanks so much

Wanting my tubes tied during C-section

I just wanted to hear others experience with this and the whole process really, I am in my first trimester but I know I don't want anymore children and I'm 27 (I'll be almost 28 when my youngest will be born).

Anterior placenta mamas, how often did you feel kicks?

I've just had my 20 week scan and was told I have an anterior placenta. I'm convinced it's more to the right because I feel a fair amount of something to the left.

I've felt little pops the past few mornings and 1-2 throughout the day. Only felt it once with my hand a few days ago. My question is, how often did you feel kicks and when? I'm just curious if 2-3 times a day is what to expect or if I'm literally just feeling gas 🤣 although I think I know the difference.

Hospital and home visits

How do you feel about hospital and home visits after the baby is born?
My in laws want to go to the hospital but I want to set boundaries and have time to ourselves to allow us to settle in.
