It depends on the person. It was painful but I could do it again

Honestly when you’re at that stage all you’d want to hear is that YOURE CROWNING at least that’s how I felt 😂

For me I found contractions more intense than crowning. I was in the water during crowning which may have helped in terms of the pain x

Yes I agree with Saja when you are that far down the line - crowing is like music to your ears 😂

I honestly found my contractions worse. I remeber them. I dont remember her coming out lol! And it was my first baby. No pain relief. (Apart from 1 paracetamol lol) and i was induced so thats meant to be more painful! 🤣🤣

I found it burned 🔥like hell but my baby was 9pound 11 and only gas and air ..also found it hurt more with my son than my daughter,,,

Reduced movements

Baby hadn’t moved for about 2 hours (that I can be sure of) but has now got hiccups and moving slightly again. Should I still go to triage or is that enough for things to be ok?

Growth scan

Just had a growth scan 35 + 2 and they said baby is weighing 3.5lbs, I had a growth scan at 28 weeks and he was 3lbs then. I’m back for a scan in 2 weeks but they said if he drops again they will look to induce me at 37-38 weeks now I’m scared!

Braxton hicks

Where do you feel these in your belly ? Top or bottom?

How regular do you feel them?
I’m having constant period pains low down getting worse each day and lost lots of clumpy snotty looking like discharge yesterday

Is anyone super sweaty down there?

I am around 21 weeks now, doing shopping today and was genuinely panicking my waters had leaked. Rang the local antenatal assessment and was suggested to change, pad up and monitor for an hour and go in to be checked if necessary. Been monitoring with toilet paper wads (as I didn't have maternity pads this early on!) and regular checking and luckily I think everything is okay... But seriously, was it just sweat??! Has anyone else experienced this?

Has anyone got their c-section dates yet?

Obviously if you've elected for one

Change of Midwife

I’m gutted, had the same midwife the whole way through (because my original midwife who I never actually saw was on long term sick leave) and now they have put me with the one that was off 😭 I’m probably being dramatic but I’m 5 weeks away from my due date and had so much confidence in my midwife and now I’ve been put with someone I’ve never met and not comfortable with 😭
