Contractions
Sounds silly but will my ENTIRE belly go hard during a contraction?? I don’t remember how it went with my first, it all happened so quickly. But I’m plus size and the bottom of my belly has never ever rounded out, even now that she’s head down and engaged (I’m 39 weeks). It’s all flabby and jiggly. I feel like this part isn’t going to go hard? It just jiggles, all the time 🙈😂

I don't recall my entire belly going hard with real contractions, but braxton hicks my belly went rock hard!
If you’re asking about your apron belly specifically then no it won’t. I’m plus size too and that part stayed like hanging jelly 🤣 but if I’m completely honest I’ve had 3 and never felt what my tummy felt like during a contraction as I was too focused on the pain.

Listen to your body! I REPEAT LISTEN TO YOUR BODY!!!
My baby girl made her arrival August 26th with a due date of September 15th via Scheduled C Section. I was at work on August 25th and started having bad abdominal cramping and lower back pain. Originally my doctor told me to go home and shower and see if that helped because it might’ve just been round ligament pain but I already have a son and knew this wasn’t the same pain. I went to the hospital and she failed her NST. The next morning I went for an ultrasound and she looked good on the ultrasound but on the monitor her movements still weren’t right. My doctor called for an emergency c section within the next 15 minutes and it all happened so fast. My spinal failed so I had to be put to sleep. Turns out after talking to my doctor after delivery, I had a placenta abruption! Thank God I listened to my body and my gut and went to the hospital. My co workers had been noticing me walking in pain all day and I pushed through but decided that night something wasn’t right so I told my fiance we need to go now. At first I thought I was just overthinking and turns out I wasn’t. Now I have a beautiful baby girl named Jewell 💎

Labour - FTM Question!!
Hi guys, I am currently 39+4 days (internally screaming) and Labour could come any moment now.
Without annoying the majority of mamas out there, my pregnancy has been fairly straight forward and I have had a fairly pleasant experience.
I’m a bit concerned I’m not mentally prepared for labour and tbh I don’t really know what to expect - my periods were always pretty easy (if not heavy due to PCOS) so I don’t really know what “period cramps” feel like and what to expect.
Basically… can someone explain a contraction to me like a 5 year old 😂? How does it feel? I’ve been getting Braxton Hicks so will early labour feel the same?
Thank you !!!

To invite or not to invite the bully
We want to do a whole class birthday party but are a bit undecided mainly because we have a bully in the class.
He picks on our child a lot and we have needed teacher's intervention often.
The bully made a small birthday party and obvs we were not included. But if we make a whole class party and don't include him, it would be mean.

August baby💞
Not been on here in a while but my baby girl has arrived✨14/08✨ so she’s 2weeks old today. Had a traumatic birth to say the least, ended up having to have an emerg section, but my baby arrived safe and sound in the end and that’s the main thing. 6lb 5oz and she’s the apple of my eye. Her big sister adores her also 🎀💖🥹
