Abdominal cramps

Hii I’ve been having some abdominal cramps lately and I just wanted to know when should I be concerned and call my doctor. They don’t hurt that bad and they don’t last long . But they’re very nerve wrenching.

Reduced movements

How many times have you been to triage with reduced movements? I think I’ve literally been about 6 times since about 26 / 27 weeks. I’m 35+4 now. It’s really starting to stress me out but they always say he’s fine when I’ve been on the monitor

Baby movement

I am 17+4 weeks pregnant. This is my first pregnancy and I am not sure if I'm just imagining kicks or it's something. I am just sitting on the sofa and I felt 2 little like jumps in my stomach and I'm not sure what I felt is something. What did it feel like to other people?

Bleeding postpartum

Hi, I’m 6 weeks pp today and EBF and whilst my bleeding was almost gone and just watery it came back heavier and bright red, not enough to soak a pad in an hour and not consistent - also some pelvis soreness- anything to be worried? Called GP and they only said to go to A&E if I soak a pad within the hour.

I literally feel sick immediately eating these, and wo...

Cramps

How long do cramps last until and are they normal? I’m nearly 12 weeks and still getting them and they stop me doing any task when I get them. My thighs also ache when I get these cramps

All I seem to be able to stomach today is toast and lucozade. Even the thought of drinking water is making me even more nauseous. Am I even able to drink lucozade? 🤞🏻
