Does the pain/discomfort come and go, or is it constant? When I went into labor (granted it was 2 months early) it started as come and go period cramps, then got consistently painful. I didnt even realize when I was having contractions, the EMT in the ambulace could by my face.

I would give your OB a call and just inform them of what’s going on with the light bleeding and cramps to see if they have any concerns. I know before I had my baby I had a light period before and then my contractions came shortly after that led me to go into labor.

I would wait a little bit and seen how you feel see if your cramping becomes full contractions I had ALL of that and I went in anyways and was sent right back home lol I was told to come back if they got any stronger and or closer together and after an hour of being back home everything completely stopped🫠 I still have lots of pressure so I’m hoping she comes soon lol but as of rn nothings going on besides my other kids asking every two minutes “where’s sister”😂

Playing with toys

Is it normal for babies to move their toys from one side of their body to another? My 11 month year old plays with toys pretty well but recently he’s just started moving them side to side repetitively. Is this normal?

Planned c section

Looks like they are going to have to give me a c section!
Deverstated is a understatement but needs must. Placenta is low and baby is breech.

If anyone on here's had one, can you tell me how the day of your c section plans out? And any advice really?
3rd baby but first c section.

Thank you!

3rd c section.

Hey anyone had a 3rd c section? Had to have all my babies by c sections due to their weight sizes and now having gestational diabetes for the second time. Just wondering how is recovery the 3rd time going? I’m dreading this c section as it’s my last one ever due to being high risk now & having to consider having my tubes tied

30 weeks today!! Final count down 💪🏼

FTM, Going to start packing my hospital bags as of today, any tips on essentials that aren’t really spoken about? I’ve heard a few ladies buying some hospital gowns to take to hospital (easier cleaning etc after birth) how true is this though? Because I was only planning on taking a few dark pyjamas shorts sets! also is it worth taking breast pumps?? I’m planning on breastfeeding but also have formula just in case but heard breast pumps can make it easier for your milk to come through if struggling with latch/production. Ps I’ll be staying in hospital for a minimum of 2 days due to positive GBS swap. Any tips would be so helpful thank you 🙏🏼
