Do you get cramps before or after your period ?

So for the longest time I’ve always gotten cramps a few days before my period. Since giving birth to my last I get my period then a few hours later I get crampy. I’d see ladies talk about how suddenly their period came out of nowhere and I never understand lol. Now that mine just comes up I’m curious about others.

Linea Negra fading?

Hi Mummas..im 8 weeks PP and I have a dark Linea negra on my lower belly from belly button down I wanted to ask if any of you know if it will ever fade and if yes how long does it take and if there is anything I can do to help it happen faster?

Sickness

Was anyone else violently sick before going into labour with their twins! I am 32 weeks today and I have been lucky enough never to suffer sickness in this pregnancy but I have just vomitted everywhere to the point where I had nothing left in my stomach to vomit! Has anyone else experienced this before labour?
