30 weeks pregnant

[bloomers]

hi,i am 30 weeks pregnant and stared getting period like pain, every couple of hours.. anyone else getting similar pains

hello! they sound like brqaxton hicks which are your body's way of practising for the real thing. have you had a "show", a perhapsbloodied mucus plug, or loss of water, anything like that?

braxton sorry

so its quite normal then,nothing to worry about

Almost certainly braxton hicks (I had them from about 26 weeks onwards and DS was born a week overdue) BUT if you have any other symptoms or if they get worse, call your midwife or GP and get a check up. If your LO is about to put in an appearance early, 30 weeks is not too bad and he/she should be just fine.

if you are at all concerned go and nag your hv/doc/antenatal person. that's what they are there for sweetheart

no just started getting these pains yesterday and it felt like period pains, ill check it out with midwife.. thanks for advice.

anyone know any good aqua natal groups near tamworth

as for the m+b groups, no sweetheart i don't know, i'm sorry. maybe you could post a thread in meet ups and continually visit it to keep it bumped (fresh) in everyopne minds ?

I'm 28 wks with 2nd pg and have also started to get period-like pains in the last week or so which I don't remember from 1st pg. I mentioned it to my midwife who said rather vaguely that it could be a sign of premature labour and to phone the labour ward if I was worried. Well of course I was worried after that so phoned labour ward and went for a check-up. Anyway, 3 hrs later was sent home - they couldn't tell me what it was but the visit gave me some much needed peace of mind (they were able to reassure me that I wasn't having any early tightening or contractions). They also said that some women do just get inexplicable abdominal pain ... so if you are worried, I would suggest getting it checked out, at least that way you can put your mind at rest. I am still getting the pains a few days after my hospital visit but now feel much easier about it.

hi there

i am 34 weeks pregnant and have started itch a lot, especially at night. I have had my bloods done today to test for cholomisitis (cant spell it) but its a serious condition and can be harmful to the baby... has anyone else had any itching?
