5dpo

Im 5dpo today so I’m definitely symptom spotting but all morning I’ve had a pulling/crampy/burning/twinge feeling(not sure how to really describe it) in my lower back left side and down low at the front radiating from the left side. My nipples are also so so sore😅 so hard to not read into every little feeling, anyone else feeling anything or am I just insane?🫣

C section tomorrow

Having my c section tomorrow at 39+5.
Due to go in for 7:15 then I’m no 3 out of 3 ladies to go down.

I’m absolutely petrified can anyone give me some positive experience examples 🤣.

Obviously can’t wait to meet baby girl but the rest of it is giving me the fear 🤦🏻‍♀️

Family meeting baby

First time mum due in a few weeks and wondering what people did with regards to immediate family (parents, siblings and partners) meeting baby for the first time.
Did you have just parents come to the hospital and then the rest of the family (siblings and partners) over to the house later, if so, when?
did you have all immediate family visit the hospital, or no-one visit the hospital?

Anterior placenta babies

Mums who have birth to babies with an anterior placenta…. how’s your nervous system doing 😅

My baby loves to stuff his face into something soft to get to sleep and i’m just riddled with anxiety ready to take it off him as soon as he does.

Who do we contact?!

This may be stupid question but im feeling completely lost and frustrated 😤😂

Im currently 6w and had two previous miscarriages. Obviously im very anxious and every little detail/symptom is being over analised a million times because what else do i have to do 🙄

But for example yesterday i believed i had some spotting which sent me into a tiny, slightly over the top meltdown to which i messaged my GP asking to be seen the following day for reassurance ect, to which they messaged saying i should go to A&E to be refered to the EPAC. So i though F-that as last time i waited over 15 hours to be seen as i was sent to the wrong department and they 'couldnt find me' like i was some strange anonymy. So i called EPAC and they said i need a referal from my GP (screams internally). Which i said my GP said they cannot refer me and basically wont do anything to do with pregnancy so what do i do? She said well it isnt an emergency im sure everything will be okay 🤭 so my question is who TF do we call/contact or whatever in these scenarios because im at a loss and quietly lossing my marbles. I mean even just bringing me in to talk about my concerns would of been better then told 'im sure itll be okay'. Right okay then 👍

Help an emotionally unstable girl out 😂

Abdomen pain

Hi, i was at the midwife yesterday and shes sent my urine off due to the results been inconclusive. However iv woken up this morning with pain in my right lower abdomen that doesn’t go away even when sat down, i don’t really feel like eating and i feel like i need a wee every 5 minutes.

Im just looking for some advice should i ring my GP, my midwife or leave it and see how i get on

34 weeks tomorrow and struggling

Hiya, just wondering if anyone else is finding it more and more exhausting as they go through their pregnancy? I feel like with my last pregnancy I didn’t struggle this much and I had twins last time around! They’re now toddlers so I guess I’m finding it hard running around free them but just feel like I have no motivation and just breathless constantly.
