Cramping at 8 weeks

I’ve had a lot of period type cramps the last few days. They’re noticeable but not unbearable. I am 8 weeks 3 days, but anywhere between 7,5and 8,3 realistically. I can’t remember having cramping with my first, and this has got me worried.

I experienced this around at the same time of my pregnancy and was told by midwife that’s it can be normal as mine were the same like period type cramps but always good to ask your midwife if you didn’t experience it with your first.

I would call the Early Pregnancy Unit, just for peace of mind. They are quite common, I had some with my first. Xxx

I had a lot of mild cramping and even a few days of slight spotting around 7-8 weeks and everything was absolutely fine (I have a healthy toddler now). Apparently it's very common around that time and usually nothing to worry about, but no harm in getting checked out for peace of mind.

Cramping is common, along as it's not followed by passing tissue, a lot of pain and blood it is considered okay x

Involuntary arm flings

Hey moms, my 6 month old keeps on having these involuntary arm flings on his one arm. I am wondering if it is totally normal?
The reason I’m concerned is because one week ago I had a fall while wearing him in the carrier which was a huge scare. At the hospital they did all the checks including an ultrasound of the brain through his Fontanelle which showed everything was completely as it should be, and he had no signs of the fall at all. But since then I noticed the arm movements and can’t remember if it happened before, it’s totally normal that it’s happening and if I’m being a bit paranoid post trauma from the fall, or it could be linked in any way that I need another opinion?
Advice please!

Elective C Section experiences/thoughts?

Due to get induced due to low Papp-a 40+1 but I really don’t want an Induction so I’m starting to consider an elective csection instead so I still have positive experience alongside more control?
