Contractions?

This may sound stupid for the last 2ish hours. I have been tightenings roughly every 15 minute, lasting between 30 to 45 seconds. Is this the start of actual labour or just more braxton hicks.

I guess you'll find out if they start to get closer together. They say with Braxton hicks you can change position and they'll go away

Possibly, but if they're just tightenings it's unlikely...although everyone experiences it differently, I would be surprised if there was no pain/pressure with them. Have you got any pain? They tend to feel a bit like period cramps at the start and then get stronger

I gave birth last week, I had tightenings throughout the morning, randomly spread out that I thought were Brixton hicks. My contractions started at 1:30pm that day and baby arrived 6 hours later! Keep an eye on it and see how it goes x

My May baby decided to come early 👶🏻

When they say your second one is usually faster they seriously weren’t lying (in my case) my waters broke spontaneously yesterday at 6:45am and my sweet sugar cube made his dramatic entrance later that day at 16:15pm at 36+5 & I’m so in love 🥰

Good luck to the rest of the mummies, you’re nearly there 🩷

No bump

I am 20 weeks tomorrow and I only have a real small bump! I know some people will be like 'think yourself lucky'. But I just want to look pregnant, I have wished for this for so long!
Still not feeling any movement i dont think just wish I felt pregnant and looked it.

When did you know your about to give birth?

So this is my 2nd pregnancy.
First one, my water broke before contractions hit at 37w3d (which i hear only happens to 10% of pregnancies).
This go around, the entire pregnancy has been different from the first. As of right now, at 35w4d, I have no idea if what's going on down there is mucus plug break or just discharge. Definitely not a water break. Also for 2 days in a row when I wipe my butt there is wet poo like diarrhea though I havent shat recently so idk what up with that. 🤔
When did yall know you were about to give birth? The first time i just lucked out and my water broke and we went to the hospital right then. 🤷‍♀️

Would you take a 12 week old baby to a party with very loud music indoors?

Husbands family is throwing a party inside (their house is very tiny) and they have a big speaker and play super loud music.
