Baby Bump

Anyone here showing a baby bump at 11 weeks? I don’t know if I’m just bloated, but my tummy seems really round. Is it normal to have a bump this early?

Constant tightening

I woke up this morning feeling positively exhausted. I’ve been having constant painless tightening in my abdomen—honestly it’s hard for me to tell if it’s baby moving or tightening but it definitely has a warm, pulling sensations. I’ve probably had 8 quick pulls in the past 10 minutes or so. Is this normal???

Cramps and contractions everyday 😭

I’m 34 weeks tomorrow. I have been cramping and having contractions for the past week. They ease up sometimes but will have hours where I can’t do anything. My belly gets hard during them but I’m very crampy all the time. My ob knocks it to Braxton hicks when I mention anything and kinda shrugs all my concerns off. ...

Excessive thirst in middle of the night

Heyy mamas-to-be. Are any of you all experiencing extreme thirst in the middle of the night? During the day I drink at least 80 ounces of water. But when I wake up in the middle of the night, I am extremely thirsty and if I gulp down too much water (like 8+ ounces) at a time I get nauseous. With frequent bathroom tr...

Baby rolling

My boy will be 5 months tomorrow, and over the past week has rolled back to front a few times. He still seems to be pretty shocked when he does it though 😂 however he’s not rolled front to back, and today got really distressed at being ‘stuck’ on his front (it all happened in the time it took for me to take the dog…

Labour?

Reduced movement

Has anybody experienced a reduction in movement at 40 weeks? I’m 39+6 and have been used to my baby being very active in pregnancy. For the last couple of days though, her movement has slowed right down. Not sure if it is because she has dropped so low down and I’m not noticing the movement so much (now she’s no lon...

Cramps after sex

Has anyone else experienced slight cramping after sex? It’s around where I feel round ligament pain, just haven’t experienced this until now. It didn’t last long and wasn’t too painful, just ever so slightly crampy and despite knowing it’s safe to have sex when pregnant it freaked me out a bit!

Has my belly dropped?

I’ve had a very high bump throughout my pregnancy. But this morning the belly seems somewhat lower? Is this the ‘belly dropping’ or am I delusional. 😅
