Crazy contractions last night

Is this early/false labour - last night I had regular cramps which progressed into huge pressures. Started every 10 mins down to eventually every 2 mins. Was about to wake up my husband & get going but baby then did a huge somersaulting flip & they started to calm down. They went from every 2 mins, back to every 5, every 10 then eventually stopped.


Was baby just pushing on something to bring on braxton hicks or was that a false labour thing?

Sounds like false labour, had it with my first for like 4 days before my water broke, was SO annoying😀 Meaning it was painful enough but never progressed. Even when they were 5 min apart for a while I was able to talk through them, then went back to 8min, 15, and by the morning I was fine again…

I feel like a bad mom

My daughter is 18 months and she hasn’t slept through the night since she was like 4 months.. I’m constantly tired… I keep missing on activities cause they are all in the morning and I just can’t pull myself out of bed in the morning. I feel like I’m not a good mother to her cause of it. I’m constantly zoned out and out of it. My body feels so heavy. And I can’t help but feel so bad cause of it.

Private vs. NHS?

What is everyone doing? I’m a first time mom, IVF baby and I need to get a c-section. I always thought I would do private to get the extra care as I’m extremely anxious… until I looked at the cost.

I’m registered at the Westminster and Chelsea hospital. Any experiences? Did anyone not feel enough support with NHS only?
If you got private scans, where did you get them?
