Pregnancy massage

Has anyone here had a professional pregnancy (prenatal) massage? 😊

I've been thinking about booking one, but I'd love to hear some real experiences first. Was it worth it? Did it help with aches, pelvic or back pain, or just help you relax?

I'd also love to know how far along you were when you had it and whether you'd recommend it. Thank you! 💕

Labour

So I had a midwife appointment today, I am 34+2 with my second child.
They said that the baby is now head down and 'engaged' .. does that mean the chances are he/she might be early?

Had my baby at 35+6

I spontaneously went into labor on June 25th! He was already over the 99th percentile and was born 4:28 pm on the 26th, he weighs 8 pounds 14 ounces and he’s a little longer than 19 inches long, no nicu time but he is jaundice and we’re still getting that together, all in all I’m happy with how my labor went it was my first time going into labor naturally, I got iv pain meds just because I like them I didn’t really need them honestly I just like the way they make me feel lol, and I labored until 8 cm without the epidural but I didn’t wanna push out a big baby without one, and the pressure was too painful. He did get stuck and had shoulder dystocia so they had to intervene really fast to save his life but I couldn’t be happier!

Emergency growth scan

I just went for my 28wk midwife appointment and my bump is measuring the same as it was at my 24 week one so I have been booked in for an emergency growth scan tomorrow. I am really worried about what this could mean as she said it has to be done either today or tomorrow, I never had this with my first pregnancy so just very confused amd upset. Any idea what will happen if baby is really small?

Would you go to a 2nd bday party at a park that you and your children have to dress up for? See pictures.

My baby got invited to a bday party. We said we would go but now I’m a little annoyed that she is telling adults what to wear. And it’s at a park. Not a fancy place.

We are still probably going to go because I know it’s important to show up, but would you also be annoyed?

I’m 33 weeks pregnant according to my due date, 36 weeks pregnant according to my growth scans

For the past 2 weeks I’ve been having very liquid 💩 to the point I will go toilet for a pee but 💩 will come out as well. A few days ago my belly was hurting I assumed it was because I’d ate too much or not enough idk. Today I’ve felt the same stomach pain that stays for a few minutes then goes. I don’t want to make any unnecessary trips to the hospital as I have an almost 2 year old who needs me. But if anyone has had any similar issues did you find out what was wrong? I still feel my baby move constantly.

shame

my son is 1 and everyday i beat myself up about the fact that i had a baby without being married. never thought that this would be my life. no one judges me for it but i judge myself because i was supposed to be “better” than this💔
