prodromal labor or is it round ligament pain

I woke up around 7 because I had a menstrual cramp feeling starting on one side and my back started hurting and then now as I’m going about my day they kinda feel like stronger menstrual cramps and now on my lower back and lower stomach hurts. I’m 31 weeks , 1 day.

Sounds like Braxton hicks. My round ligament pain felt more sharp and closer to my hips and crotch than lower abdomen. I would contact your provider if you’re concerned

Im 36 weeks and going through prodromal labor. Prodromal labor is more real contractions, but just not as strong. Your whole stomach tightens. Braxton hicks is just where your belly tightens like contractions, but go away after laying down or staying hydrated. Ive been having those pains too, but ive noticed its just when ive been overdoing it sometimes. When those happen, I just lay on my left side and relax. It could also just be the baby moving further down as well. You can bring it up at your next appointment

Emergency c section

Hi everyone! Had my baby yesterday through an emergency C section. Labour started spontaneously at home progressed rather quickly, should have been low risk and was hoping for water birth but my baby girls heart rate was dipping and then she was too high up so they were quite worried and thought they needed to get her out quickly, she ended up being born at 17.08 via emergency c section. I found out after she also had pooped inside me and she had her chord wrapped round her neck.

It was all a bit scary and don’t feel like I’ve had time to process anything but just glad we’re both ok can’t fault the hospital as they were brilliant and acted quickly

I’m about 6 weeks pregnant and all the symptoms I’ve been having (morning sickness, food aversions etc) have all suddenly stopped. Should I be worried or is that pretty normal?
