Whar do I do?!

Am I in early labour or just ill?

I have had 2 days of what is probably nesting then just got struck with the need to nap this afternoon. Woke up about 6:30 after around 2 hours and felt a bit off so ran a bath. By 7pm I'd started having mild irregular cramping accross my abdomen whilst in the bath. Got out about 8:30 and little lady had a good wriggle but I felt quite rough.

This then continued with regular cramps all night. Spent some time on my birthing ball wrapped in a blanket with a hot water bottle on my back because I had chills. Tried laying down on my left and watching something on TV, listening to music etc but I just couldn't get comfy.

Cramps coming anywhere between 5-15 minutes apart for anything from 25secs to - 2.5 mins.

I go to lay on my right and instantly vomit up over a little of the squash I had been sipping through the evening. I then feel better enough to get about a 25 minute nap in at around 2am.

Since then I've been awake and cramping still anywhere between 3.5 mins to 25mins apart.

Me and my partner have decided to get into bed and try and get some proper rest but I've woke up from the nap and my forhead temp is reading 38.8°

Realistically I know i probably should ring the Mat Unit. It's my first and I'm 37 +1.

Miscarriage

I have 2 babies and my tubes were tied during the csection of my youngest baby.
I went into hospital on the weekend with stomach pain turns out its a early miscarriage im in alot of pain iv had a injection to help it along and they've clarified it was in my tubes so atleast I know the tubes being tied worked just still fell pregnant in the tubes. Even tho I oviously couldnt have being in the tube I am a little.upset even tho i chose to tie my tubes as I dont want amy more kids am I being silly feeling a little sad about it. I dont really know how I'm suppose to feel.

This is fun! How old does he look like?

Maybe it's getting boring to people but I'm also curious how old my baby boy looks.

Not feeling myself

Just wanted to see if anyone else is feeling similar to me. I have a 4 year old and almost 6 month old and I have been severely sleep deprived for 4 years. I used to be fit and slim, going to the gym every day, but I haven’t had the energy to keep it up and have put on so much weight. I love being a mum and wouldn’t change a thing about the last 4 years but I don’t feel like myself at all and feel uncomfortable going out because of the weight gain. It feels like such an uphill battle to try and get back to being active and one I can’t do until I can get some reliable sleep! Feels hard with the summer coming up as well, maybe I just need to embrace my mum bod but it’s not easy!
