Should I be worried?

[Staci13]

I’m only 32 weeks but for the past week or so everything has felt so much different. I suffer with PGP but back pain has increased to a whole new level, my mood swings are out of control, I’m losing more discharge than I was before (sorry TMI). The other night I struggled to sleep due to pains in my stomach (felt like I needed the toilet badly), but after a couple of hours they died off. They would come and go every ten minutes or so. Since then I just haven’t felt right, but it’s a bit hard to explain! Also been getting a lot more pressure down below and some shooting pains in my vagina. This is my first pregnancy so it’s all a bit new for me but I don’t want to be that person who calls the midwife for every little twinge! I don’t know if all of this is normal?

Definately normal, the baby is getting bigger and the pressure is probably making you feel uncomfy with a lot of discharge. Make sure you speak about these things next time you see your midwife, they are there to help you out
I'm 39+2 with first pregnancy and walking/sitting on a gym ball instead of sofa definately helps with some of the back pains etc.

Hiya all sounds normal to me but if you’re ever worried I’d see your gp or midwife it’s always better to be cautious and your instinct counts for a lot x

100% could have written this! I'm 31+5 with my first pregnancy. I've had all of the things you've mentioned. Tonight, I'm experiencing shortness of breath (whilst trying to sleep)... which is fun & games.

When you know your body and strange things are happening, it's so unsettling. You get a bit worried / paranoid. Almost daily I'm convinced that 'today is the day' as everything seems to be moving so quickly now. Every day feels so very different!

For me, I am SO OVER being pregnant too. For something which people describe as magical, it's been very 'unmagical'. I don't have any advice for you, just hang on in there.

In my head, I just keep thinking, be prepared and what happens happens.

Just an added laugh.

I woke Christmas Day (at my sister in laws house in London) at 4.36am with pretty bad shooting pains in my stomach. I got out of bed and went downstairs to see what was what. Within an hour, my body had ridden itself of any fluid or solid. My brother in law woke at 5.30 to put the turkey in, he found me shaking like a leaf at the dinning room table. Half worried that an exorcism was happening to my body and half worried that bloody baby Jesus was arriving. I woke my husband, we calmed the situation by making jokes about frankincense and donkeys. Nothing came of it, but that morning will live in my memory forever!
