Mild period cramps - 36+1

From about 9:30pm last night I had period like cramps that I wouldn’t say were consistent but they definitely were coming and going through the night because they kept waking me up. Not severely painful, just mild but noticeably uncomfortable and made me feel like I needed to poop. This morning they are still there and I did manage to poop which relieved it slightly but they’re back every 10ish minutes or so, accompanied by a dull ache in my lower back.

I did go to a gym class last night so not sure if the lower back pain is related to that or not.

Would I be silly to call triage? I’m 36+1, FTM, not sure if this is just Brixton Hicks or my body preparing etc. it seems that pre 37 weeks advice is to maybe call triage?

Personally I would call triage .. it’s best to be safe preterm . To me it doesn’t sound like contractions but always worth getting checked

40+4 sweep

So I had my sweep this morning and midwife said I’m 3-4cm and soft. Since then I’ve had a lot of pressure down below and on off cramps with no real pattern and then tonight I’ve had brown / deep red discharge which I’m thinking is my mucus plug plus some blood in the discharge too. I currently have dull period pains and tightening not sure when to call triage or go in

Is this normal?

Sorry if this is tmi but I birth 11 weeks ago. I finally stopped bleeding 2 weeks ago and my period started yesterday. I know the first cycle after delivery is always the worst but I don’t know if this is normal. I’m bleeding through my ultra sized tampons within 2-3 hours. Like bleeding through my pants level and when I take them out, it’s just running out of me like a faucet. Is this normal?

Combine parents names for a girl name

Been thinking to combine parents names for a girls name.🌸

Parents names start with a C and R
Chantelle and Rhys. Maybe thinking of names that start with C or R, include "elle" or "eese" or "y".....

Something like
-Rynelle
-Lorelle
-Rielle
-Rhiselle

Any suggestions?
