36 weeks too and been having pressure for about 3 weeks. On top of Braxton hicks daily.
Unfortunately until your water breaks or contractions get strong and are at the right timing, there’s not much you can do but suffer and stretch. 😭🤣

It sounds like your body is getting ready for labor!! Definitely let your OB know and monitor for frequent contractions

^second that! Let your OB know exactly what’s going on but try to relax and let your body do its thing :)

I described this exact feeling a few days ago as "holding a bowling ball in my butt." Hopefully getting my first cervical check tomorrow as im 37 weeks. Best of luck to you!!! 💗

Silly questions

Does anyone else ever read a post and think “why tf are you asking us this and not calling a doctor!?” I understand this is a place to share advice, thoughts, and opinions.. but are some questions really necessary? for example one person asked a question about sex being painful after a surgery, and another asked if they should get their baby medical attention because their newborn had accidentally gone under dirty water during bath time. Why on earth would you take the time to write a whole paragraph about how your baby was under dirty water, right after it happened, instead of calling a health professional for advice??? I honestly think some of these questions put out there are ridiculous and need to be taken to a professional instead of waisting time asking strangers on an app.

Bump Measurement

Has anyone had their latest midwife appointment and they’ve measured your bump (24/25 week ish)? If so what was it?
I’m due mine on Tuesday and intrigued as I feel huge, I’ve attempted to measure at home and getting some large numbers 🤣🤣

Finding second C-section recovery so much harder!

Laddies I need all your tips and tricks to a smooth recovery.
I’m 5 days post elective C-section after having twins . My first C-section was 3 years ago and an emergency.
This time I am struggling ALOT I’m keeping ontop of ibuprofen and paracetamol but still on a fair amount of pain especially on the side they’ve tied of.
I’m really struggling to poo! It’s there and waiting to come out but generally feels like I have a cork up my arse (when I wipe there’s soft poo on the tissue I just can’t get it to come out)
I’m not breastfeeding but my boobs are soooo engorged
My ankles n feet generally hurt from the swelling
My back is absolutely killing from sleeping on it (I’m a stomach/side sleeper but it’s to painful to even try these positions)

I am staying mobile that isn’t a problem, ince I’m up and moving I’m fine but getting up is BAD


Please anyone send help 😩 my twins are fast asleep yet I’m wide awake because I’m in so much discomfort

Why does everyone avoid induction! I’m hoping Vbac for baby 2 in July

But whenever I speak to say I rather get a another c section if they offer induction
