Early labour question!

I had a small bloody show this morning there wasn’t a lot of mucus plug but I’ve been loosing it for months but it was brown/ blood stained only the size of a pea and for the last couple hours I had intense back pain and a suttle pulsating when sat down and the back pain is
now only a very dull ache and baby boy hasn’t been as active but ever since my back pains calm down he responds when I prod him. I still don’t believe this is labour as I’ve had cramps on and off for a couple weeks and just wanted some advice

I’d be ringing the maternity unit and going to get you and baby checked, especially as you are saying baby isn’t as active . Always better to be on the safe side x

I’d call and go into triage xx

Growth scans

Hi ladies - just want to ask if there's anyone here who Hasn't been offered a growth scan? Literally everyone I've chatted with on this app has had one or multiple growth scans. My last scan was the 20 weeks one and I haven't seen baby since 🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️ want to ask my midwife about this at the next appt but still, is it normal to not be offered one? For context, I'm 34 weeks. Thanks x

C section scar related??

I had an emergency c section in 2024 and this year I’ve noticed something new that keeps happening and I don’t know if it’s linked to having a c section. I’ve noticed when I’m getting out the shower/bath and I’m bending forward to dry my legs and feet I get this random tight knot feeling in my stomach ( few inches above scar). It scares me but soon as I stand back straight it goes. Has anyone else experienced this?

C section pain

Hi, I had an emergency C section 2 weeks ago exactly, it was a pretty horrendous C section in the end 😭 but my question… I’m still finding myself in some pain, a soreness around my scar, a pain inside my stomach and a strain when I wee, is anyone else experiencing this please? I’m taking pain killers when it gets bad maybe once / twice a day if I really need! I really thought the pain would have been gone by now 😭😭
