Stiches/ cramps

Hi Guys,
I’m 8 weeks pregnant and 3 days, for the past 2 weeks I have experienced pretty bad morning sickness which I know is normal but I have also been getting some pretty bad stitches and cramps in upper right abdomen, they come and go but about 5 times a day, i had a scan last Wednesday due to bleeding and everything was okay and I saw my baby’s heartbeat but the cramps and stitches are still worrying me, I don’t know if it’s from where I am being sick and my stomach is tensing, I just wanna make sure what I’m going through is normal 😭I eat a lot of fruit and I am pretty healthy, anyone else getting this? Xx

Mucus plug

Does a mucus plug come with no blood? When I wiped there was a very thick clear substance but no blood. Could that be my mucus plug?? I’m abt to be 41 weeks.

Elective C Section

Hi ladies 👋🏻 I'm planning an Elective c section in August on my first. I'm wondering when does this usually get booked in? My parents live in Ireland and want to come over when baby is born to help. So it would be good to have an idea of when it will be!

Hardest stage so far

Hi everyone FTM here. I’m feeling very overwhelmed with my LG now being able to crawl. She wants to move and stand and walk but gets frustrated with herself. Seems like she’s cried all day every day for the past week. She’s refusing naps, not really hungry and doesn’t really want to “play”. I am really struggling and feeling like I don’t know what I’m doing all over again.

Does anyone have any advice on how I can find a new routine or get used to this? Maybe some daily activities you do with your babies to occupy them? I feel like I’m fighting for my life until bedtime and it’s making me really sad.

Has anyone been given expected birth weight?

My last scan was 33+6 and my boys were 4lb 13 & 5lb 4 . Now I’m being told they’re expected to be 6.5-7lb at birth depending on which day in the 37 weeks they’re born 🫣 (average for this type of twins is 5.5-6lb)

With my oldest I was told he’d be 10lb + at 40 weeks but we only made it to 38+3 and he was 7lb 13oz so not sure how true that wouldn’t been (although his curve was perfectly inline with his birthweight still doesn’t seem correct to me )

Really interested to see what others have been projected to be and if you think it’ll be correct
