Braxton hicks

Hey everyone, I have started having braxton hicks from end of week 23 I am now almost week 25 and they are so strong. This is my second pregnancy and I remember having it with my first pregnancy but this time tound it feels even more. Sometimes feels like I spend the day with it. Is anyone in the same boat ?

Yep, I started having them even earlier than that and now it’s everyday, several times a day, yesterday I counted them and it was 10 during the day. I mentioned it at my midwife’s appointment they weren’t worried and then yesterday I called triage too just in case and still not worried as long as they’re not painful where I have to breathe through them and not bleeding.

I have them worse this pregnancy than last. Not sure if it's because of this time I have a posterior placenta or because also my toddler won't leave my belly alone lol.

Anyone else having their last baby?

How are we feeling? I'll be getting my tubes tied when I have my C-section, I am feeling emotional but I know this is the right decision.

Feeling Emotional

Got home from work this evening and baby was moving a LOT. Like non-stop. It seemed very out of the ordinary for him. I got ready to go to l&d to get checked and I called them before I was about to head out. The lady on the phone told me that isn't really a concern if he's moving more than normal... so now I just feel stupid and I started crying. I'm 37+6. I was induced with my last baby at 37 weeks. So letting everything go naturally is confusing and a little overwhelming because I don't truly know what to expect. I never got the normal/natural labor and birth experience before. :(

How are all my mommy’s due next month doing? How’s this last trimester been? I’m currently experiencing some period cramp like pains here and there and find myself extremely tired. Oh, and this acid
Reflux wants to take me out

40 weeks today...

I want to let my body do its thing and all, but I woke up this morning feeling absolutely done with pregnancy. I went from "baby will arrive when they arrive" to "get this fucker out" real quick 😅

Gestational Diabetes

I just found out that my 1-hour glucose test result was 285, and the lab person told me I would need to take the 3-hour glucose test if I failed. Since the number seems quite high, I’m wondering if anyone else had a similar experience. Were you diagnosed with gestational diabetes right away, or did you still have to do the 3-hour test? If you had GD, what were your numbers and how was it managed? I’d really appreciate hearing from others who have been through this.
