Phantom kicks! So weird.

I remember them happening a few times after my son but early on. My daughter is two and I’ve felt them a LOT the last few weeks. I’ve been super nauseous tonight so I’m assuming tonight’s was strong muscle spasms but they are SO freaky. 😂 anyone else get them that long after having your last?

Going past due date

I’m due around late May. I’d like to see if my baby can be born on my late sisters birthday which is June 12th. I’d be 42 weeks pregnant. With my son I was induced at 39 weeks and 3 days. I’d like to not be Induced this time and go as natural as possible. What’re the chances?

Miscarriage and sex

I had a miscarriage a week ago at 7 weeks and slowly stopped bleeding. Me and my husband had unprotected sex today and he said he came on my back but when I was cleaning down there I felt his sperm coming out of me.

Stomach cramps

I’ve been having the most insane stomach pains all day. It was a struggle to eat but I managed a salmon bowl and some crackers through out the day. Is there something I can do relieve the pain?

So shocked how well my scar has healed!! 9 months pp now and you can barley notice it at all.

Anyone else?

Had a c section 10 months ago, all fine with healing and scar etc (although it is keloid and still quite numb). Had about 5/6 periods now, the last 3 have been unbelievably painful but not in the way they were pre baby. At first I thought my scar just really hurt internally while on my period, but now thinking it’s ...
