@Sunshinemoom it could be like an incredibly slow labour and you will just stay like that for weeks. definitely a good thing they keeping you until Monday xxx

Yeah what I think it is. And the only thing keeping him in is the stitch. I think if I didn’t have tHat he Would of been born now xx

@Sunshinemoom great they’ve got the sickness under control. Sounds like things are settling. I’ve read some women just contract but it’s not enough to cause full labour they just contract till they reach term, also others have contracted till the remove the stitch and then soon as it’s out the contractions stop like it was irritating the body. Who knows the main thing is you’ve got another day with him
still in there well done you.
a bit tmi I have the most horrendous pain in my bum, the drs don’t know if it’s a pile or varicose vein or a nerve but it’s driving me nuts it normally only lasts a day but I’m on day 3 I’m thinking weight of the baby is making it worse. They drs gave me co codamol but it doesn’t touch it 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

Yeah thankfully!! I’m still in hospital. Hoping to go home tomorrow. They checked my cervix today got about 1cm left but no signs of labour. But they want me to have MRI as my old c section scar starting to hurt now. He’s also not moving as much as normal so keeping eye on that.

im wondering if that’s what causing my issues is the stitch irritating causing the contractions.

that sounds so painful. Has your pain got any better or worse?

@Sunshinemoom hey sweet so glad to hear you’re still hanging in there after your contractions I’d say still having a cm left is pretty awesome and you can go home to your other little one that is wonderful. Brill that they are checking your caection scar as definitely better safe than sorry with that one I’ve seen mri pics of babies before they are really strange i wonder if they will give you a pic?
you must be so close to 32 weeks now?
ugh im off to the hospital i have a fast heart rate always have it’s been great so far i went for my checkup with cardiology i have an amazing dr but i started to panic when i was hooked up to the machine so my heart was 135 so i had a call to go back and have more tests which is today that i really don’t want to do 😢.
the pain I get is weird it’s either there full throttle or not at all so far its ok today was bad yesterday.
good luck with everything bet u can’t wait to get home xxx

I’ve been having back pain on one side all day today and no shifting of positions or support with cushions etc has helped.. it’s just under my ribs on my right side.
I’ve had a hot water bottle on it most of the afternoon and even that only helps a little bit
Worth contacting the midwife tomorrow or just one of those pregnancy things?
I’ve been struggling with hip and pelvic pain for a while but this just feels different. Baby has been moving as usual all day so no concern there.

I would call just to be on the safe side

Could be a foot? I spent most of two days ago with a foot sticking out of my right-hand side at the front. It was quite uncomfortable. If you’re worried though, give them a ring. X

Potentially? I’ve definitely been having a little foot pushing against the front a lot today so maybe her bum is pushed back. Baby is on the right side (and mostly always is) so it could be how she’s lying today maybe?
If it continues tomorrow I’ll definitely call just for peace of mind.
Thanks both!

My little one loves to push against my ribs can be so sore somthimes. It does sound like a foot xxx

Think it was how baby was lying as she’s shifted positions and the pain has eased massively today. Think it was just worrying me because it was so constant but feeling better today 😅

I’m getting out today. Contractions have stopped pretty much. I’m under strict instructions if pain starts again to go straight back. I only live 10 minutes from the hospital thank god! They ended up doing ultrasound in the end to protect baby but the scar looked good. 👍 I’ll be 32 weeks Saturday so not far now. How did you get on? Did you get any answers? Xx

@Sunshinemoom thats wonderful news im
so happy you are going home and still pregnant 😀 and your so close to 32 weeks.
ugh no the bum pain is back today big style, hubby is away with work until tomorrow so I’m taking it very easy ie. Trying not to move lol it just scares me so much when. He goes away but hopefully this is the last one now x

Im so happy you get to go home and be with your little man! I can imagine you've been pining for him and nothing like some home comforts too!! Glad labours stopped for now, make sure you rest like a princess and get the boys to look after you haha xxx

Yeah I’m so happy he’s holding off for a bit longer 🤞🏾🤞🏾 can’t fault all the doctors I’ve seen they been so helpful. If you listen to my 4 year old I’m having him in the next 2 weeks. 🤦‍♀️🙈 oh no it sounds so painful. Definitely take it easy until hubby is home!! Hopefully last one for you.

@Jadeypieyeah got the biggest hug when he got home from his dads and step mums. He’s asked for a sleepover in my bed tonight as he’s missed me so much. Yes will be resting for the foreseeable! Xxx

@Sunshinemoom aw that is just so sweet, lovely snuggles for you tonight 😊😊😊

Yeah will make the must of the snuggles! Xx

Glad you’re home @Sunshinemoom! Hope baby holds on a while longer for you. Enjoy snuggles with your little boy 💕

@Sunshinemoom how are you doing today x

Does anyone els feel like their bump has changed? Obviously we are getting bigger but I feel like last two days my bumps not so high anymore. Surly it hasnt dropped yet (33 weeks) i crnt remember with my first ha xx

Thank you so much! Making the most of the snuggles with my first boy 🥰

Yeah I’ve been okay today literally rested all day minus the school run and stopping at the pharmacy to collect my medication. How you doing today? X

Yes I thought this today my bump had changed and gone lower! Definitely thought it happened around 37-38 weeks last time xx

@Sunshinemoom i didnt expect it this soon either but hey here we are haha. Its definitely dropped because it hasnt changed bk for 3 days! Little man is still very active and more low down. Too when moving not trying to arrange my ribs haha.

Glad your home and resting the best you can. When is your next check up or are they just doing. A wait and see? Xxx

Yea mine definitely feels a bit lower than last week!
