Waters broke at 32+5

My waters broke on Friday night at 32 weeks and 5 😳! Super scary (and just like the films!) but been in hospital since and labour doesn’t seem to happening naturally (no contractions or heavy bleeding since an initial loss on Friday) so they’ll keep me for three days and then send me home and I’ll just come in if something changes. If not they’ll re-book my section for 37 weeks!!
Really nervous about having a pre-term baby and the potential of NICU. My last baby was 4lbs 13, 10 days early but absolutely fine. Does anyone have any success stories of babies born 6+ weeks early? Thanks in advance x

Line??

I need help… I cannot tell if there is a line? I’ve been very nauseous really only at night time, I’ve been super tired, and if I don’t eat the second I wake up I feel awful. I don’t know if this all just happens to be a coincidence or if it’s too early to test. But I’ve heard that there’s a line and there isn’t so I need help.

Super active baby movement

I am 38 weeks and 5 days. My baby has been continuously super active. Rolling twisting since evening. Very very active. Is this normal?

pains

i’m 38 weeks pregnant with my first, and since 3pm i’ve been having intense pains in my back (mainly my left side) and mostly all over my abdomen and it comes and goes every few hours but since around 9:30 it’s been worse and it felt like it just wasn’t stopping.
what do i do ? as i’m unsure about calling triage as last time i went in for pains i basically got told it was nothing and i seemed fine so to keep an eye on it 😔😬

Dose anyone else get achy when they sit too long or lay down to long?

I’ve realised over the last few weeks that if I sit too long like watch a movie, I get very achy down there and it’s the same for laying down to long! Every morning when I wake up, and I try to sit up, I’m just achy!
The annoying thing is, it happens if I walk for too long too so it feels like I can’t win at the moment!

Stomach cramps post birth

I just wanted a little bit of advice or to know if this is normal. I gave birth yesterday at 10:30am since then I have been having period like cramps. I know that breastfeeding can cause this as it’s drawing your uterus back down in size however I don’t remember having it like this with my first. I am really struggling because it gets very painful. Do I need to worry or will it pass/get easier soon?
