Tightness and pressure early labour?

Hi so I’m 36 weeks and 2 days all day I’ve been getting tightness across my tummy and pressure in my cervix, I had no bloody show or leaking

I’ve also had really runny poos today I’ve been 5 times and it’s just coming straight out like water (sorry)

I’m currently lying in the bath to try and deal with the pain - is this early labour? Should I ring the midwife?

Is this normal?

37w3d
Just had sexual inter course and then went the toilet and this was when I wiped
Rang triage and they told me they’re not concerned keep an eye out on the blood for any changes ect and this could be the start of labour.
But I’m still so anxious has anyone else had this?

Labour??

I’ve been having irregular tightenings all day. I stood up just now and felt a very small amount of watery liquid come out so went to the toilet and there was my bloody show when I wiped (a large amount) how long do we think labour is away?

Hello guys 😊 I just wondered what everyone’s June 2025 babies are getting up to. My daughter was born at the back end of June 25 however she was born at 32 weeks.. she’s meeting most milestones but some others not quite yet. I just wonder where everyone is up to so I can gauge is we are at chronological age or gestation age xx

Anyone had baby at 34 weeks?

Hello! My baby was born at 34 weeks! He is 9 months now. He is meeting all the milestones, well almost all! (He is not proper crawling yet - just hands crawling)
For me having a premature baby was something that caught me by surprise! I wonder how are the premature babies specially at 34 weeks when they are older. Thanks x

Baby wrap/carrier

Hello! After 9 years we are finally expecting our second little babe. 🥹 I had an emergency c-section with my daughter and my OB said to just plan on a second one. Also, I’ll be getting my tubes tied during that too. My question is, I know baby carriers make like a lot easier. Can we still wear them after c-sections? I’m going to be stay at home mom and student(online) so I’m really hoping we can.
