Pains

Currently 36 weeks+5 with my first. Was still working today but have had to come home due to really sore back pains (paracetamol not touching it) but now have cramping higher up at the front! Think I'll phone triage again but just wondering if anyone else experienced this and if I should be concerned or not! Back pain seems to be getting worse/duller!

How long to wait

we were recommended to wait up to 18 months to conceive again, it feels a really prolonged time and quite a gap between babies. Can anyone that has had shorter penalties let me know any complications to consider? (Aiming for vbac if possible) Thanks

Waters leaking

I went into triage today and they did a test to confirm that my waters are leaking at 36 weeks and 3 days. I have been given antibiotics and have an induction scheduled in for 37 weeks on Sunday. I was wondering if any other mums have experienced this with their previous pregnancies or current pregnancy? The midwife told me that they will try by breaking my waters and wait for the contractions to start. I have never been induced and have been told by people it’s more painful than spontaneous labour. Any advice would be appreciated. Soo nervous ☹️

Gunky eye

Does anyone’s LO have a gunky eye…. Noticed during the day yesterday it was getting gunky and he’s just woken up for a feed and it’s totally glued shut with gunk…. I’ve been wiping it with cooled boiled water as I’m guessing nothing else I can do but just wanted to check

Anyone experienced pain during sex?

My husbands lovely and gives a lot in foreplay but as soon as it comes to penetration there’s really sharp pain around the entrance and it couldn’t go more than 1cm before we had to give up. Despite the super sharp pain, no blood or weird discharge or odor or anything so haven’t been advised to go to the doctor. Has anyone experienced and solved this?
