Braxton hicks!!

Why on earth do they say that they don’t hurt but every mum I’ve spoken to has said they hurt?! I was having them terribly last night! Never had them with my first. But my belly was for sure tightening with each cramp. Absolutely not early labour though because they’ve stopped now haha

I only found out I was having them with my son when I was hooked up in hospital and they pointed them out, now I know what to look for I’ve had a few this time round but only noticed by poking my belly to see if it’s hard, no pain at all 🤷🏻‍♀️ x

Sometimes I would get them in conjunction with trapped wind. Apparently they can sometimes go hand in hand. So the pain would be from the wind / bad digestion but the sensation of tightening would come from the BH.

I feel huge

27 weeks and 3 days and I feel so huge already 😅 I always carry low and she is grinding away at my pelvis. I am NOT having a good time 😅

Have my waters broken?!

I’ve just woken up to some liquid leaking out of me.. to say it was odd would be an understatement!
It’s clear and doesn’t smell at all really. But did I just pee myself a little?!?

I’ve popped a maternity pad on to see but what a weird feeling.
Anyone else unsure if their waters have broken?
I’m 38+1 😳

Girl names?

So we have found out we are having a girl!!
We have a couple of names but only 1 is sticking out to us.
I am worried about being too set on a name and it not feeling right when she's finally here in November... anyone else feel like this?

The name we are set on is Callie as Calla lilies are my favourite.

I would love some more baby girl names please. 🩷🩷

I woke up and automatically stretched my whole body and I then felt my belly like scrunch, I dunno how to explain it, but I feel a bit tender now.

Does anyone/has anyone else done this before? I didn’t mean to even stretch it was like my body automatically done it.
