Very TMI so I am sorry

Over the last few days I’ve been going for a everyday and normally I don’t do that..
I googled it and it said it means labour is close by? Has this happened to anyone before ?
It can be. But not always.
How far are you?
Googling will tell you that everything is a sign of Labour

Ive found that most people start going more from around 38 weeks.
I always have too. But I've always gone over with mine. It's meant nothing

I’ll be 38 weeks tomorrow exactly, maybe I’m just getting so fed up it’s partly wishful thinking !!Googling when your wide awake at 4am maybe isn’t the best idea but I do it anyway

This happened to me about 37 weeks... Couldn't stop shitting, but then 38ish weeks it stopped and bowel movements went back to normal. Then I ended up with fluey/cold symptoms but that's clearing now too. No labour yet at 39+5Aquanatal tomorrow... Going to bounce this baby out!!!!

I’m pretty sure my midwife said she would do a sweep tomorrow when I see her. I’m so nervous about this

Does anyone have any advice on how to make it less awkward? Any experiences you could share would help me I’m sure!

They're not awkward at all
The midwives are very professional and it doesn't feel awkward

They usually ask you to get your bottom half undressed, get up on the bed and put the sheet over you and then you call them in

Okay so I’ve just painted my table with this ( I had my jumper over my face) and now I’m worried that I could’ve done damage to the baby. I had a look on the instructions on Amazon and it doesn’t say anything about using it whilst pregnant. Has anyone painted with a really strong paint and babies been okay?

Either way, just painting once won't harm your baby.

The issues are when it's used frequently and inhaled frequently. So if you were a painter and decorator for example.

Thank you, that’s all so helpful. That’s really good to know re: labour. That’s a scary thought otherwise. I have a couple of inhalers now (brown and blue) because I ended up going to the walk in centre when the cough came back a couple of weeks ago and they confirmed after checking my chest it was the asthma returning. Will book a GP appointment though for a proper asthma review just to make sure all covered. I took something called montelukast years ago which really helped. I might ask for that again if safe in pregnancy. So fed up of wheezing and coughing at the slightest bit of physical exertion or walking past a smoker x

I just realised as well, when you were with the NHS in Wales, was that when you had the IVF? That will have been why you had a 6 week appointment as that’s normal for IVF rather than which country you were in. A ‘viability scan’ to check for heartbeat and that pregnancy isn’t ectopic. If this baby was conceived naturally you’ll just be waiting until 12 weeks like everyone else.

Personally I think everyone should have the 6 week scan

Either way, just painting once won't harm your baby.

@WhatABore just wanted to say you are the best at reassuring and answering questions. Every time I come on here I’ve noticed you’ve helped someone out x

It was just after failed IVF that we got pregnant naturally, I’m not sure how or why but my drs sorted out the midwife’s appointments quickly, I had had one to confirm the pregnancy and then the booking in one, mc’d at 6+4 just a few days after. This was 4 and a half years ago though.

Gosh I agree, only 6+1 today and I can see the next 6 weeks dragging !!

I don’t suppose anyone here had Covid early in their pregnancy? I’m just under 6 weeks and my partner and I have caught it worried it could cause a miscarriage this early…
Yes me, i was 5 weeks pregnant when i caught covid, tested positive for covid on the Monday and found out i was pregnant on the Wednesday. Had a mild case of it, 1 night of fever. I am 34 weeks now with my little girl who is cooking nicely and is kicking me as i type

Did anyone in the first trimester get recurring nose bleeds?! I’ve had so many the past few days, unsure if it’s because I have covid and have a blocked nose or a pregnancy symptom?

Do I need to let the hosp know I’m positive? I can’t cope with being put on hold again today

I did, my nose still bleeds a bit now and I’m in my second

Nose bleeds can be super common during pregnancy because of the increased blood

Yes. I asked a question about this a few threads ago, had it with all 4 early pregnancies. Apparently it’s the hormones and nothing to worry about.

I’d give them a call. They’ll advise you to buy an oximeter to monitor your oxygen levels and ask a few questions as a risk assessment over the phone. Nothing major but best to have it on your record.

I rang mine when I had covid at around 20 weeks. Didn't find them very helpful to be honest, they just told me to monitor baby's movements and if something changed to contact them! All good now anyway
 
My legs have started cramping specifically in my calves is there anything I can do to help this?
