Dull ache all day - 37 weeks

I’m 37 weeks and I’ve had a dull period like cramping allllll day😩 (tmi: but almost like I’m both constipated and my period is about to start - where neither is the case😂)

I’ve had braxton hicks for weeks now where my stomach tightens. But my stomach isn’t going hard, this is purely happening in my lower stomach/pelvis. Baby is measuring at 39 weeks and I know he’s head down already.

Is this normal?

I’ve had a baby before but had c-section early so not actually been close to labour ect before

Thanks✨

This happened to me from 36 weeks, it’s completely normal. I was adamant I was going to go into labor early (I was 0cm dilated lol and ended up going over).

Water run? Morrisons test.

Hi! Took this test this morning (12dpo, no period yet) and I’ve seen this on my test. Unsure if it’s a water run or maybe something more. What are your thoughts?

Embarrassed as hell (also feel free to have a laugh): have you ever hurt yourself by sneezing during peeing? 😭🤦🏼‍♀️

I was going to post incognito, but decided to give some people a laugh. Storytime:

I'm 27 weeks pregnant so I was on my 10th pee of the night, when in the middle of peeing I sneezed and got an extreme sharp pain in my nether region. Now every single time I go wee it hurts (yes will talk to the GP if it doesn't go). Has this ever happened to anyone else? 🫣 Also dont think anyone's husband expects to be woken up by their pregnant wife holding her bits saying "I think I tore my piss hole sneezing" 😭🤣

Baby Moon

Hi all, we're thinking about having a mini baby moon for a couple of nights. Just something special for the 2 of us before baby arrives. Looking to stay fairly local as I will be 36 weeks at that point. What are your thoughts? Its my first baby. Am I risking it being too close to due date?

C -section scar itches

I'm 2 weeks post partum and everything is healing nice but it itches sooo bad!! I don't know if it's because there's hair on it and somewhat around it but anyone had to deal with it??

C section gas pain

First night home last night following a section, thrown up in the night due to severe gas pain. Also little one will not sleep unless on one of us so exhausted on top. Any tips 😩
