I went to triage early hours Thursday morning because my abdomen was so sore, naturally it more or less wore off by the time I got there 🫠
Strapped me up to a CTG monitor anyway and when the midwife came to check on me she asked “can you not feel these tightenings that are happening?” as she pointed at the paper, I couldn’t feel a thing but she said my initial pain was likely braxton hicks 😯 That’s the only experience I’ve had with them that I’m aware of and I’m now 39+2 😅
I’m also SUPER uncomfortable and ready to be done being pregnant 🥹
You can always call triage and ask if that’s something worth checking x

No baby on the scan
I went for my scan with window to the womb and had calculated to be exactly 7 weeks from last period but in the scan they said it’s a pregnancy of unknown location and the small sac they can see, they can’t confirm if it’s a very early gestational sac or a pseudosac and have referred my to the hospital for bloods.
Has anyone had anything like this?
Not feeling very positive atm

Bleeding at almost 6 weeks and feeling stressed
I'm almost 6 weeks pregnant and started light bleeding a few days ago and happen most in day not in night. My hospital ultrasound isn't until next week and I'm really stressed about what this could mean. Has anyone else experienced this and how did you cope while waiting?

C-Section Pain
I had a c-section 2nd August (4 weeks) and the pain did start getting so much better by week 3 where I wasn’t feeling any pain at all and thought I was recovering well. However the last couple days I have been experiencing pain again in my lower tummy. My scar looks and feels fine it’s just the lower part of my tummy that I’m experiencing pain again. The pain feels exactly like how it was right at the start of my recovery!! Anyone else had this?

Breech baby at 32 week growth scan
We went in to see if my placenta had finally moved enough for birth and it has but found out she has now frank breech! The consultant wasn't very helpful. We went to an antenatal class yesterday and the midwife there was much more helpful, she recommended the spinning babies website and some positions we could do to encourage her to spin around. I'm not sure I 100% believe it will help as I'm convinced babies just do what they want in the womb but we will certainly try! Has anyone had any previous pregnancies where bubba has turned back around for 36 weeks?
