Cramping at 20 weeks

Hello everyone I’m 20 weeks+4 and the past couple of mornings I have woke up with some cramping on my lower left side of stomach, not so much like period cramps but it feels tight and heavy and can be a bit painful, usually it goes within 20 minuets but today it’s lasted an hour so far, is anyone else experiencing this or previously experienced ?

I’d ring you midwife and maybe just take yourself to the hospital and get checked it better to be safe

Hey I would go and get it checked out , I had that too but sometimes it’s just your uterus stretching but just go to your maternity triage or call your midwife to get it checked out 😊

I'm so sorry that's happening to you. I've only had leg cramps so far, they wake me up and are pretty painful, but I haven't had that on my abdomen. I would also check with the midwife or the gynaecologist, just in case.

Girl or Boy? 🩵🩷

What do you reckon?
I had a gender scan at 16.4 weeks pregnant, I’m 17.4 weeks now. And they said baba is girl, but now someone has said and it’s got me thinking that they might have been wrong and it was hiding… what do you reckon?
To me, it looks very much girl.

Baby no2

How did people find the jump from one to two?

I just found out I’m pregnant with my second and rough due date would be around my daughter’s 2nd birthday which scares me because I want it to be her special day, obviously I know baby can come at anytime but I feel guilty already and also she will only be two im worried about the age gap being so young

How hard is it?😩

Placenta anyone?

Hey ladies, I wanted to know how you all felt about taking home your placenta... I was all set to take mine home, but now I'm like, do I want to bother with all the ends and outs.

I did plan to freeze it until I acquired the citrus tree I chose to bury it under...What do you all think? Have you done it?

Brown discharge after sweep

Today I had my first sweep, I have had a few cramps here and there but since the sweep I’ve had brown discharge with bits in when I wipe as if I’ve just come off a period is this normal no bright red blood ? Or has anyone else experienced the same ?
