Braxton Hicks

Has anyone not experienced these yet?
I'm 28 weeks now and haven't had any in this pregnancy or in my first, or at least not that I've been aware of! I sometimes feel some tightening of my tummy but just assumed that's baby moving about as they don't hurt 🤷🏻‍♀️

I’m 30 weeks and not sure if I’ve experienced them yet either. What is the feeling like?

Braxton hicks is basically a really tight feeling

Does this seem a little rude?

I reached out to a cleaner from the care app. She took abt an hour to respond and didn’t even say hello but then after 15 minutes said hello like if I’m taking long to respond.

Taking care of our 3 year old, pregnant, sick.

My husband left for work at 6am, got home at 7:30pm. He didn’t even see our son once today, due to his sleep schedule. And my husband doesn’t think anything of it, didn’t say thank you.(he knows I’ve been sick)
My husband works late nights a couple times a week. He works 7 days in a row. I felt so exhausted tonight I was throwing up - bad nausea from pregnancy but usually not vomiting. I have a horrible head cold, congestion, headaches. I just feel bone tired. I don’t want to take Tylenol because it’s not recommended during pregnancy. My husband said he took a nap at work today since he was tired. Haha I just felt so unappreciated and realized we live two different lives. Our son never naps anymore so no naps for me. Just annoyed and wanted to vent

Dry boogies

My little one had boogies, and I used an electric nasal aspirator to get it out one day... and she didn't like it... but ever since then, she have heavy duty boogies, and I can't seem to get it out without annoying her... I'm letting it be atm, but it is blocking her nose today, and I can hear her breath. Any idea how I can get rid of boogies please?

Feeling unsupported after C-section, even with a partner at home

Has anyone else had a C-section and felt like you’re doing everything on your own, even though your partner lives with you? I’m struggling to recover, take care of the baby, and keep up with everything, but my partner doesn’t really help. Would love to hear if others have been in this situation and how you managed.

Labor possibly

You guys so this is my second pregnancy and I’ve been having cramps and pain since yesterday but last night it was intense with back pain and butt cramps and intense pressure in my lower belly like my unborn son is pushing down so I took a nice warm shower it helped but as soon as I got out the shower it instantly came back I don’t know if I should go to the hospital or not because I don’t want them to check me and say it’s a false alarm ny water hasn’t broke but I don’t know what to doooo lol 😂
