Cramping

Anyone else have cramping around 37 weeks? I’m experiencing light middle abdominal cramping & had some back pain, comes & goes, going to my appointment today but was in some pain last night & this morning, could just be normal pains?

Yeah, sounds completely normal, your body is practicing to get you ready for labor!

Yes I'm almost 40 wks and have had cramping for weeks now.

Im cramping on and off and I can feel it in between my thighs and my butt 😩 been on going since 35 weeks

it’s funny you mention thighs because I had a pain go to my left thigh during it yesterday & I was like that’s so strange 😂

🤣 2025 babies are so different

I’m like is this even normal, lmao, it felt weird, so it had me concerned 😂😅

Yep, 35 weeks and having contractions/cramping on and off the past few days. Body is just prepping for the real deal 😅

every pain, I’m like ready to jump up to go to the hospital, lmao

@Gabriella same! I about went yesterday and I'm honestly hoping by next week baby will be here cuz I don't wanna deal with the pain and just want him out lmao

I feel like either way we’re bound to have pain, LOL, I do get my membrane sweep next week but we will see how that goes

i really want another baby

i am merely a few months pp but i want another baby, but i am scared of the age gap (2 under 2) and also with everything going on in the world i just think its not the best idea at the moment but i am having crazy baby fever and miss having a newborn🥹

C section or natural?

I am a control freak and thinking c section is the least stressful route for me and baby… less complications during labour etc. whilst acknowledging recovering can be hard.
If it could be guaranteed no tearing or complications then I would opt for natural and kind of want to experience the feeling.
Then again could plan and go either way 😂 arghh!
Anyone else in this predicament?

Period like cramps

Hi
I’m currently 33 weeks pregnant and I keep getting period like cramps I thought these were Brixton hicks but I’ve heard they only last 30 seconds ish as this can go on for a good time frame then go away and come back, they aren’t bad enough where I can’t do basic things they just feel like I’m about to get my period I’m jus wondering how normal this is? Baby is still very actively kicking xx

Has anyone ever had pain in the bone at the bottom of the lady area?

How I can only describe it is I feel like I have a fracture or the bone is broken right at the bottom of my vagina bone obviously don’t think it’s to the extent but that’s how it feels. I had it in my last pregnancy and the pain went few months postpartum now it’s back again with this pregnancy. These are the results that u e googled I think I may have the first one has anyone every had this or something similar

Midwife check

Can someone remind me when the midwife visits you at home? Is it the day after you’re discharged? And is that the same on the weekend or do they not visit then? Thanks!

Boy or girl🩷💙

Any guesses? Having a private scan tomorrow and gender reveal Sunday!! This was an emergency scan today at 16 weeks🤭
