Leg cramps

I'm 32 +3 and the Charlie Horse/leg cramps are killing me!! They just started last week and holy crap it feels like someone is ripping my muscle off the bone. I didn't have this at all with my first. Anyone have any suggestions?

I just started getting them too and only had them one time with my first 🥲

I had them too! Compression socks, hydration and massages really helped me 💙

I had it then too but yes hydration and leg elevation and stretches before bed helped me .

Oh yeah these are the worst! Hydration, stretching, and I added a magnesium supplement too. Also when you feel the cramp start happening flex you foot towards your calf, it helps stop it

Lighter periods after c section

Most people suggest their periods get heavier after birth, but has anyone found that their periods got noticeably lighter?

Baby engaged 37 weeks

I was told last week at 37 weeks that baby is fully engaged and very low down by my midwife. This is my second baby and I’ve read that second time around baby usually engages later on. My midwife said she doesn’t think she will see my at my next appt (39 weeks) as she thinks the baby will come early based on this! Does this mean labour is near? Any second time mums experienced the same and did baby come early?

I read a headline about a woman being arrested for starting a child fight club and that got me thinking...

Do you think your kid could win in child fight club? Mine could. I think that the fight club would just be him versus all the other kids.

Counting down the days

Is anyone counting down/wishing days away?

I feel so selfish but I can't help it, i had such a good routine with our toddler & now just signed up to start over again. Makes me feel terrible thinking like it but I cant help but wish time away to gain a routine again ☹️

Oral Thrush

My little boy has been on Nystatin for a week for oral thrush without the doctor seeing him,just from describing the symptoms. I've called them again today and have an appointment tomorrow as it hasn't cleared up, does it look like thrush or could it be something else?
