Not sure what to do
I’m 31 weeks and 4 days and since 3pm been having cramping but also pressure with it. It’s now 7pm and I’ve drank water, moved around etc and I’m still feeling it. This is my 3rd baby and she’s moving good and kicking me. I’ve gone to L&D in the past with my other two for symptoms like this and it’s always nothing and get sent home. I’m by myself with 2 little ones and really don’t want to take them just to be sent home but the cramps are not subsiding. What would you do? I’ve had 2 contractions but it was earlier and haven’t had it since. It’s just cramps and pressure like pain but baby is kicking me a lot so maybe she’s just making me feel pain.

Im 31 weeks and 5 days and was having cramping earlier too ); like period cramps, but they didn't feel like braxton hicks. Ive been laying down and it seems to be helping me. Luckily I have an appointment tomorrow so im just going to ask then. Im really thinking its possibly the babies position as well and maybe I just overdid it earlier. I would just continue to try to rest and then possibly call the on call if it doesnt get any better
I ended up spending most of my morning in the labor and delivery today bc of something similar, I didn’t know if I should go in but I’m glad I did bc turns out it wasn’t Braxton hicks it was contractions and they had to play elimination to figure out what caused it and make sure I wasn’t preterm
I was told the 5,1,1 before coming in , cramping or contracting every 5 minutes for atleast a minute for more than an hour. Go in if that’s the case

Little love 💕
She’s here! I didn’t get the magical VBAC I had hoped for, but gave it my best shot and feel proud of my efforts. Baby girl arrived by emergency C-section after a long day of labouring and attempted forcep delivery yesterday. 💖

Moving c section date
Can anyone advise how easy it is to move c section date? My hospital want to move it later which will make me days away from term. If I ring back and ask it to be slightly earlier, do you think they'll let me? I just really don't want it that far along.

Feeling baby so low
I am 30 weeks pregnant and I can feel my daughter so so low that it is painful. Feels like she is scratching my cervix and punching my vagina. I feel worried that she is soo low, anyone having the same?

Start of early labour?
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.
