Anybody else?
I feel like I’m second guessing every symptom I have at the moment and questioning whether it means labour could be starting. Anyone else who has had there baby or maybe this isn’t their first able to help me? For the last few days I’ve been feeling very nauseous and had an upset tummy (if you know what I mean) I feel like my body isn’t working right. Each evening I’ve had stomach pains and cramping for the last 4 nights. Today I also had some intense pains at half 2-4 that I’m sure weren’t contractions (they were bad but only lasting a few seconds and were not on a schedule). I’m really mentally struggling now and need my baby here sooner rather than later. Anyone in a similar boat or had a similar experience. I feel like my mood is plummeting everyday with this waiting around. I’m 38w5ds for reference

I think a lot of us are in the same boat, I am doing exactly the same thing as with my little one I was induced so never had the experience of going into labour naturally. I am trying so hard to stay relaxed as much as I can and hopefully it happens.
What you have said though could well be your body getting ready for labour x
Welcome to prodromal labour. Running to the toilet many times a day usually happens a few days before labour because your body is clearing out to make room for baby and the the hormones prostaglandins move your digestive system as well as ripening the cervix.
It won't be long now ❤️❤️ xxx
This is exactly how I've been feeling 😅 second guessing myself with each pain I get 😬 my stomach has been so bad the last couple days(I've not wanted to leave the house due to it)

What date would you use?
I had an early pregnancy scan and according to my Last Menstrual Period (LMP) I am 8 weeks and 2 days but when I had my scan I was 8 weeks and 4 days. This slightly changed my due date by 2 days. Then again sonographer said that the NHS will give me a due date. Im so confused.
For now… which date would u go by? LMP or scan date?

Early scan
Hi girls went for early scan today thinking I was 7 weeks but measuring 6+1 has anyone’s ever changed later on to what they thought they was? Abit confused as av had bad morning sickness for a week which means it would have started at 5 weeks

Work struggles
Anyone else just absolutely hating working at the moment? I feel so intolerant of it and am counting down the days until I can go on maternity leave. I work as a nurse prescriber in an ADHD service and I have ADHD myself (stopped my ADHD meds when I got pregnant) and now I just can’t stand the thought of working 🤣 I dread the weekdays so much!!! Feel so fatigued, struggling with sleep and just generally uncomfortable (I’m 27 weeks today). ❤️

Hi ladies! At 8 weeks are you likely to be able to see anything on an abdominal scan rather than internal? Thanks!
