Any one experienced this ?

I am having electric‑shock pain shooting from my pelvis area down into my inner right thigh
Any idea what it could be ? Chatgbt and Google say nothing to worry about but I’m a bit worried as I haven’t experienced this pain with my first
I’m 37 weeks now

Muscle pain in left calf

Since yesterday morning I woke up feeling like I’d absolutely smashed the gym, but only in my left calf. To the point I’m actually limping with it. Not sure if it’s linked but it’s also paired with a splitting headache. 24 hours later and there’s no improvement. Chat GPT has freaked me out saying it could be a blood clot but I wanted to check here to see if anyone else had had this before ringing 111. Also, should I ring 111?

Snotty nose

My toddler come home with a snotty nose and I think he’s passed it to my 3 week old. How is everyone dealing with snotty noses with their babies ? I didn’t have this with my first but my second sounds really snotty :(
Going back to a newborn I feel like I can’t remember anything I did back when my toddler was a newborn

First period after birth

I’ve recently became addicted to shopping on Depop

Mirena users

So im probably stressed for no reason but I have been on the mirena for a little less than 2 years and I started bleeding today. I was cramping yesterday. But I feel fine today. Should I just ignore it since im not having any big problems? Or should I contact my doctor?

Phew, lightning crotch officially started 😮‍💨

29 weeks and I fear the lightning crotch is here to stay now 😭😩

Is this normal

Okay so my baby is typically low but where I’m pointing is where he sometimes lay at is that normal for a baby to lay that low i just think that’s crazy ( first time mom)

Advice

I’m currently 35 weeks pregnant

All night so far I’ve had back pain, pain in my vagina and nausea. Has anyone experienced this before?

I’ve taken paracetamol and had a bath but back pain is still there. Had some toast and still nauseous.

Bloody Nose

Anyone suffering with nose bleeds and bloody nose everyday?

Because it's Sunday

My one day off as a sahm homeschooling mom, that is also pregnant, that I allow my kids to watch TV or eat late or not do their normal routine. And dad has to have an opinion, not understanding hey it's one day out of the week, we get to have off. Otherwise, we start our mornings right and on schedule

But I have been up since 6:30 doing some stuff around the house and now to start more, but I'll hear I need to rest, I am doing to much. Hard to find a balance

2 mons pp

Baby movements

Is there such thing as an over active baby?

Pregnant with a toddler

Is anyone else pregnant with a toddler? I am struggling to find motivation for anything the last few days… I feel bad as I feel like my toddler is suffering as I’ve not got the get up and go, or energy to play. We’ve been hit with a bad cold too the last few days which hasn’t helped. I just feel so bad. Am I alone in this?

Crampy

Any one else feeling really crampy and achy, almost feels like the day before my period starts!
