Bleeding

I'm curious to know if anyone else is experiencing changes in their postpartum bleeding? I bled normally for the first 18 days, and then it dwindled down to almost nothing for the past 2 weeks. Well, I just now used the bathroom and noticed I'm back to spotting a lil bit more. Is this normal? I'm currently a month and 5 days postpartum.

This literally happened to me. Called my doctor and she said it’s normal and it’s leftover bleeding from giving birth. But as days passed, bleeding escalated and I think I started my period

I’m also a month a few days postpartum and I never stopped bleeding 😅😅 I had some days were it let up a little but it always comes back. I guess it isn’t normal but I don’t have any other symptoms

Just went through this. I’m 5 weeks pp and fully done bleeding finally. Was so happy to stop having to put a pad in for “just incase” moments bc well pads are 🤢 dr said it’s completely normal as ur uterus could still be contracting an have leftovers in it. I also found out that pooping can cause u to start bleeding a little which was a first and that’s saying a lot since I just had my 5th baby

Maybe a April baby not a May one

So I'm not due till May 10th but with how my body has been feeling the last couple days I reckon I'll definitely not make it to my due date or even to May before I have my baby 😅 the intense pressure I've had has been insane I can't walk more then 5 mins without being in pain, slowly started loosing my mucus plug yesterday and then today I feel like my body is having a clear out 😬 i genuinely feel like my body is preparing 😅(I hope so)
I have a growth scan next week but my consultant said on my last appointment (2 weeks ago) that I might not make it to my next scan 😅 like sorry hun I think you know something I don't 😂

Growth scan scaring me thinking I’m gonna have a massive baby 👶🏼

So I had a growth scan at 27 weeks and baby was plotting on 50th centile. Had another growth scan today at 32 weeks and they’ve said he weighs around 4lb 10 😳 they haven’t reported and plotted on my chart yet but that sounds like a lot when I still have 8 weeks left 🙈🤣

Odd feeling!

Hi all. 18+3 here with first baby 🩷. Today I’ve had some odd sensations. It’s in a similar area period pains would be, but it’s not a cramp- it’s very quick. It almost feels like a ‘swoop’ rather than a cramp or pain 🤔. Has anyone had this? Should I be concerned? As I say, it’s not happening constantly, and it’s maybe a second or less at a time, no pattern. Very quick and just feels like swoop feeling from the inside with a mild uncomfy feeling but not really painful?

first baby and I’m clueless. Thankyou!

32 week ultrasound

Yesterday I had my 32-week ultrasound at 32W4D. I read the results and it says based on the size of my baby I am 35 weeks with an EDD of May 19th. Lucky for me, I track everything on my phone, so I know that isn't possible. I have an appointment with my OBGYN on Monday but I'm wondering whether they are just telling me my baby is big? Has anyone else been in the same boat before and still had the original due date? I was set on a June baby 😅

Car accident

I had a minor car accident this morning. I’ve been having my usual pelvic pain but been getting mild cramping but have felt her move since. Do I need to get checked or shall I monitor as I am out at the moment as my daughter is at a club and don’t want to make a fuss of nothing but also don’t want to risk anything
Don’t even have my notes on me and nowhere near my usual hospital

Baby weight

Has anyone had a growth scan and been told a predicted weight and it’s actually been accurate? Interested to know what all your babies were predicted and what they actually weighed😊
