Is it maybe round ligament?

I had a lot of sharp pains/cramps with all 3 of my pregnancies, usually starting around 5-6 weeks. I just figured it was everything loosening up/growing! If you don't have any other concerns, I wouldn't worry too much.

It could also be implantation! I could feel my baby and where they were as early as that and then beyond until they've gotten big enough to change to flutters. As long as it doesn't feel like period cramps and no spotting, I'd assume to wait as things progress. Have you had your first ultrasound yet? Are you experiencing any other early symptoms? I'm sorry this is weighing on your mind! The wait in the beginning is the worst and Google is a cesspool of so much info that can be confusing! Look up happy stories if you can! That helped to ease my mind in the beginning too. I hope things ease and progress for you and your new little one!

I think it depends on where they are located and how long they last and if anything can help them (like laying down) random sharp cramps here and there in the first trimester are very common, but cramps that don't go away and are very constant and in one area aren't a good sign 🖤

Could very well be implantation cramps! I wouldn’t worry unless you have some heavy bleeding. You may see some light spotting if it is implantation, just a heads up! Since they’re moving around and random, I wouldn’t be too concerned, personally. Just keep an eye out. 🫶🏻

20w Anatomy Scan

I had my 20w anatomy scan on Friday and although they said everything looked well, I was told that baby girl is measuring on the lower centile and they booked us in for another growth scan in about 2 weeks which has got me worried as a first time mum. I was wondering if this happened to anyone else and everything turned out okay?

Pulling to stand

My 6.5 month old has been pulling to stand the past week or two. I have read a lot that babies this young really shouldn’t be standing because of the position
makes them hurt their joints, but we are not forcing him in this position. He’s doing it himself just wondering if anybody has experienced this with their babies if you have seen it affecting them? Should I be stopping him when he does it or encourage him to do it?

Need advice- followed guidance and was told to cancel section Thursday as baby was head down when all along she’s been unstable lie and found out I have polyhydramis too yesterday to top it off 39+3 but won’t section me till next week!

Since 36 week growth scan I was advised my fluid levels were in the normal range but high and I’ve said all along I’m massive . Luckily bought my 40 week growth scan forward yesterday 39+2 and my baby was engaged last two sweeps and now she’s been flipping again and hospital don’t see this as an emergency and I’m so worried about going into labour as my cervix is forward and soft 1cm last check over week ago. I also followed advice and cancelled my section Thursday and now I can barely walk and in a lot of pain and discomfort don’t know what I can do . Thought of waiting to end of next week for section is making me struggle. Baby also weighing 8lb 6oz 😭

Exhausted all the time, but can't seem to sleep past 6am!

So I am about 6 weeks pregnant and this is my first pregnancy. I have been feeling super tired all the time over the last few weeks and this is really out of the norm for me. Despite how tired I feel, my body wakes me up at around 6am - 7am every morning without fail and I cannot for the life of me get back to sleep! Again, this is very unlike me, I love a good lie in 🤣 Any advice on dealing with the fatigue? I am usually a big coffee drinker so I think the drop in caffeine intake may have something to do with it 🥱🥱
