Contractions? Heads engaged? I’m confused

I’ve been feeling cramp like pains since the morning they come and go but they’re more like period pains. Or before you start your period. I keep needing the toilet for a no1 and 2 but I don’t know if this is early labour or baby’s head engaging? Also the fluid coming out of me smells like vinegar. It’s not a lot so it’s not my water breaking but it’s strange. Does anyone know what’s going on cause I’m so confused and it’s stressing me out 😣

Fucking exhausting

I knew having a baby wouldn’t be a walk in the park but this is ridiculous, we’ve been up with her since 12:30, it’s now 3:20! I’m actually so exhausted I’m not even tired anymore. My fiancé has to be up at 7:45 so he’s gone to sleep about 30 minutes ago when I managed to get baby to stop crying. She’s 10 months and only had one night like this. I’ve also kicked the baby gate so I’ve possibly got a broken little toe, last week she headbutted me and broke my tooth so now I look like a crackhead🙃 I’m just adding things that have gone wrong to the biggest list 😭

When to try for baby no.2

Looking for advice. First baby was born via c section. I’d absolutely love to have a vbac second time round but I’m wondering any mamas out there had a vbac when did you fall pregnant?
My little one is 13months old.

Hi guys!

I’m trying to figure out what I should bring as far as pumping supplies to the hospital (spectra vs medela pump) and where did you store the colostrum/ milk?! Thank you so much !

Failed NST Test , 36 weeks and 3 days pregnant

Hi I’m a first time mom and I went in for an urgent NST test today at my obgyn office and baby boy failed the test he wasn’t moving much and his heart rate kept going up . They sent me to get an ultrasound and the ultrasound tech said everything looked normal , I was looking at the ultrasound and he barely moved . I kept telling my doctor that he isn’t as active as he used to be . My obgyn never takes my concerns seriously, what should I do ?
