Pain here at top of bump / ribs (35w, 3d)

Has anyone else experienced pain in this area when sitting and laying on your side.

Feels like a sharp stabbing / pulling and gets worse the longer you’re in that position.

Baby is head down

Thanks! 🙏🏼

It’s likely just the position baby is laying but rib pain can be a sign of pre-eclampsia so I would call triage just to get checked over and make sure all is well x

Yes. I have experienced this since around 32 weeks. The first time I noticed it, I did go to triage as Google said it can be a sign of pre eclampsia. However it was all fine and the doctor said it can happen because of baby's position and pressure on the ribs. I'm 37 weeks now and still feel it sometimes. My baby is breech so I don't know if that might be why as well as her head is sort of right up there by my ribs

Baby pushing against tummy

Hi everyone. I’m a first time mama expecting my rainbow baby girl on Christmas Day. I’m currently 33.5 weeks.

The last four or five days I’ve found my tummy feels really uncomfortable and not like it did previously. It feels like baby is pushing or leaning back against the front of my tummy all of the time, so one side feels really full and distended. She’s kicking and moving fine, but I don’t know whether this is just a result of her getting bigger and so feels new, or something else?

Period after c section

When did you get your period after your c section?
After my first i got it exactly on my daughter's first birthday, i was breastfeeding.
This time around i had an emergency c section at 30+5, im exclusively pumping, not sure if it was a period but i had period like bleeding for 4 days at 8 weeks. The spotting 2 weeks after and now im 12 weeks pp and spotting again, is it my cycle coming back or should i get checked?
(I'm cycle day 23 today counting from the first period )

How do you wait for appointments?!

So I found out I’m pregnant on Saturday!! My first appointment is in December but my first scan isn’t until January! How do you cope with waiting that long to see your baby and making sure everything is okay?!
