Feel like I'm getting my hopes up here but I'm 37+6 and I've got a constant ache in my lower back and some mild period like pain, nothing coming and going like contractions though. I feel like I need to poo but when I've tried to go there was nothing.
Could this go on for the next couple of weeks? I was induced with my first so I don't know what it's like to go into labour naturally.

Ive had this for a week, still baby not here ahah

I’ve been like this since 37 weeks and I’m 39 today and still no sign x
Looks like it's going to be a long couple of weeks for me then 😅
Had our little October baby early, God was it traumatic but she’s safe and happy.

We did it! Hit 37 weeks on the nose for our October twin boys delivered via c section.
For any mamas at Heartlands in Birmingham - BRING YOUR OWN BUTTER! The trust has removed butter and replaced it with margarine, thankfully I was pre warned 🤣

Hi ladies, I was wondering how recovery was after having two c sections?
Iv had one and planning another. First recovery was fine but wondered how second one would be xx

How long did you push for your VBAC?
Did your scar change the sensation /pain levels of your contractions?
What gestation did you go into labor with your c-section vs your vbac?
And only semi related to c-section, if you were induced with your first and not with your VBAC, how did the contractions differ?
Also if you got to 10 CM and didn't push before your c-section at all let me know because I'm extra interested in hearing from you since that was my experience!

When you had your second c-section, did they cut over the old scar or make a new incision?

I’ve been for my 20 week scan today, baby measuring 20w 1 day, they’ve said I’m on the second percentile baby’s tummy is small, I’ve now been referred to fetal medicine clinic, and I’m so scared! I’m so worried 😟 any one been through this before?
