Anybody else already experiencing lightning crotch?

These zaps are the worst and I'm unbelievably offended to be experiencing them so soon.

Yes! I was getting them @4-6 weeks. They’ve seemed to calm down now the pain is mainly in my back dully. I looked @ a diagram and in the beginning the uterus is very close to the anus so I was feeling them in both places and for some reason knowing that made me feel a lot better

Anyone else’s baby super big??

He’s so tall I’m almost scared bc is that normal 😭 like he’s bigger than every baby I’ve seen that’s older than him, I’m about 5’8-5’9
He’s 30inches maybe more? And about 21lbs he’s almost too long for 12mo clothes
He’s longer than my torso, he sits up all by himself but doesn’t want to roll over yet.
(He was born with club feet that’s why he has boots and bar (: )
He was born Nov 17th 2025

Shortness of breath and heart rate when lying down

Hi all,

Wondering if anyone can give me advice - since 22 weeks (I am now 23) I’m really struggling to sleep and find when I lie down I feel a shortness of breathe and can physically feel my heart pounding, even when on my left hand side.

It eases up a little once I remove the elevation from my head but still doesn’t feel super comfortable.

I’m going to see the midwife as soon as I can after bank holiday, but has anyone experienced this?

Thank you!

Boy name opinions!

We really love the name Odin for a boy but my family are super against it because it’s the name of a Viking God. What’s your opinion?!

Illness

No question or anything just a rant 😂. Love it when you wake up in the night with violent diarrhea and sickness at 12 days postpartum with a C section, but still have to battle through the night feeds and general newborn life... throw in a wild 3 year old for good measure and I am feeling very sorry for myself this morning 😂
