High pain threshold...

Please give me some comfort im so nervous.
Ive just got out of 4 day stint in hospital after have a very intense bloody show at 35 + 3. Im talking blood down my legs kind of intense...
Anyway, im high risk. I have gestational diabetes, cholestasis and pre eclampsia, and have a section booked in 2 weeks time at 38 weeks. Before I was released from hospital I had a cervical check and I was 3cm, but they said all my levels were okay so go home and come straight back at the first sign of either waters breaking, more blood outside of mucus, or contractions. My problem is - im so worried that im not even going to realise something is a contraction snd miss it and then not even make it to the hospital for my section before im too dialated. I had no idea i was 3cm, ive had some slight cramps today but nothing thats concerned me??

Pain after sex

Like the title says, ive been having some pain after sex. We waited the 6weeks to be intimate. I had my checkup with the ob but after sex (not during) im crampy, bloated, soar, and sometimes I spot. Some positions hurt after more than others. Like, legs up really hurts afterward(I had a c section), so maybe im engaging my abs too much,idk. Is there anyone else? How long does this last? When should I contact a doctor?

Advice

I’m 15 weeks pregnant, first time mum, I’ve had so many issues and scares this pregnancy so feel like every chance, twinge, pain or ache is just worrying.

I went to my gp yesterday as I’ve had bad backache and belly ache/ belly twinges the last week, I thought it could be a uti as I know they’re common in pregnancy but they said it was all clear, they gave me a weeks worth of antibiotics (amoxicillin) just incase but I woke up this morning and my back feels like I’m heavy on my period, I have pcos so my period pains where quite rough😩

Is this a normal feeling or should I be concerned?

GD

Hey!
I've just had my glucose test back and I've got Gestational Diabetes 😩 has anyone else been diagnosed/had it before?
I'm really struggling with coming to terms with it and anxious about how I'll manage it/what it'll mean for the rest of my pregnancy x

Head down movements

Anyone that’s baby is head down, where do you feel your movements?
My movements are all felt pretty much on my left side, maybe like an inch above my belly button but on my left. Hiccups are felt there too. Some times can feel like squirming like really low down. Can’t tell if she’s still breech or not! I’ve got a presentation scan Monday to find out but still interested to find out where everyone’s movements are if head down, or even breech!
