Just came here to ask the same advice. Woke at 6am crippled in pain. Fell back asleep and gone completely when I got up at 8… Iv never had a period pain in my life, very lucky I know but wondering is these pains are normal. I’m 18+2These stomach pains are really bothering me nowthey’re like period pains but they didn’t seem concerned earlier when I seen them in the epu! I know everyone says it’s common but has anyone had period like pains that last hours?

Yes, by seven weeks your uterus is double the size so makes sense that it feels like period pain. Can be really uncomfortable!These stomach pains are really bothering me now
Thanks guys you honestly have no idea how much your comments back help!
Do you have a pregnancy app? I use Ovia and it has a weekly update of the baby’s development but also what’s happening to you and symptoms etc.
We do the reverse and breast feed in the day and formula at night (mainly because I’m slack on pumping and so her dad can feed her) and baby does not care at all! Happily takes the bottle from her dad
Exciting news! I lost my mucus plug earlier (well, pretty sure I did 
) I know this doesn’t necessarily mean anything is going to start happening. But it’s nice to feel that something might be 
finally progressing.
I didn’t even know this was a thing before I started reading this thread, how much mucus is normal? It started a few hours ago and came out in a few different bits but I’ve not had anything for a while. Just wondering whether to expect more or whether that’s it.
I’ve also had backache and been getting some tightenings which feel more painful than usual and make me wince a little. How do I know what’s just a BH and what’s a contraction? Is it a case of when you know you know?!

It sounds daft, but you'll know, for now keep an eye on them & time them!
Oh this is so exciting! Keep us updated where you can!!!

You'll be surprised how much there is of a mucus plug
When you least expect it
Was it bloody?
It's definitely when you know you know, but I'd keep timing them if you can
BH usually go away when you stop doing whatever you're doing.
Sounds very positive!!
That’s pretty outrageous, I’m not sure how I’d cope mentally with that. 29 weeks via a video conference! Jeez!
It appears I was very naive coming into the whole process, I’m not sure what I expected but certainly not the hands off approach. I’m a wee worry head and further into my pregnancy I’d hope for a little face to face reassurance if I needed it. We shall see but I won’t hold my breath
I know - I’m wondering if they’ll try and find a way to deliver the baby by video conferenceThat’s pretty outrageous, I’m not sure how I’d cope mentally with that. 29 weeks via a video conference! Jeez!

i’d love to do this. daddy needs duties too! pray i can breast feed during the day & pump the milk/use formula bottle feed in the night & yes i am the same i still have period pains! sometimes i double over in the pain!
If I was a few more days pregnant I could have ticked ready to pop 
crazy. But still in 30-36 for now. Can't believe how fast this is going! Baby due month starts tomorrow.
Wonder how many babies we'll have in this thread

.Anyone else have a slight panic when you vote for your stage of pregnancy and it’s 24-30 weeks where’s the time going!
where’s the time going!Same! I'm 25 weeks and remember saying the first bit went sooo slowly and now I'm thinking tit there's so much I still need to do and it's going too quick!!Anyone else have a slight panic when you vote for your stage of pregnancy and it’s 24-30 weeks
Wow that’s crazy. I’m at a hospital in east London (for some reason I feel they’d be more likely to do this… !) and none of mine are phone calls. All face to face. Where are you based (vaguely of course) x
This is so good to hear, I feel like I’ve been in the teens of weeks forever right now
1st June today means I am due next month and I can not believe it! I'm due 4th July so she could even come this month!

I'm due 8th July with twins... but potentially they could be here this month!
I’m in Norfolk. I go for a scan and then literally leave the hospital department where the consultant is to speak to them via computer or phone. Bonkers!
