I'm starting to think my days/weeks are numbered due to the pressure in my bum today, I'm all achey and the pressure is concerning. Hoping to make it to 28weeks.
CW when was your little boy born? Was he 28weeks and what was his journey like in the hospital?

I think when you're getting mixed advice, the best thing to do is whatever feels right. If it makes you feel any better, I had period-like cramps from the time I conceived to the time I delivered. My doctor said cramps are normal, it's just the uterus stretching. However - she did also say that while cramps can be normal, when you have cervix issues, it could mean you need to get checked out. But usually it's fine.
If you feel the need to get checked, don't hesitate.
Also, you have a daughter you have to take care of. It's going to be damn near impossible for you to be completely immobile. Take everything day by day. If you have one really active day, make the next day a resting day to recover. Listen to your body.

Completely OT, but Britton just rolled over for the first time!!
I know that's a normal baby thing, but it's so great to see my little preemies getting big and strong and hitting milestones
Aaaaww... Thats great!
Shelby it's so cool to read about the girls progress, always thanks for sharing, it's so exciting.
Jadey I had read that it.could be round ligaments stretching, but wasn't sure if at 35 weeks, but maybe doing some late stretching to.accommodate the growing baby. So.many aches and pains I dt even knew existed. I don't know if I told you before but when I get cramps and I did this morning, I start drinking lots.of water, like 40 or 60 ounces in an hour or so, it.does help.that it's very hot and humid, but it definetely eases the cramps. if you do feel you should get checked put by all means do.
I'm closely watching the tickers and you will be past 24 before you know it. Hugs

Jadey, I think you're probably doing the right thing, rest and drink plenty of water and see how you feel. There's no harm in getting checked out though if it persists. I plan my days on how I feel, some days I rest more than others. I always go with how my body feels.
Twinkle, my gorgeous little boy was born at 28+3 and weighed 2lb 13oz, so a good size. I had steriods at 26wks so that helped. He was ventilated for a bit, then onto CPAP, then on low flow oxygen. All in all he was in hospital for 7wks. He's great now
A good friend of mine had prems her first at 26+1 and her 2nd baby at 27+1. Both her children are fine now.
Sorry you're struggling today
when is your next scan on your cervix?

Twinkle at this point every day makes a big difference and you are now 2 weeks past 24 weeks so I will keep everything crossed you get another few weeks further.
I took Holly to a 4th birthday party today. The parents do it to raise money for cot death in memory of the wee girls twin sister so there was 60 children and I was standing for about 2 hours. I have come home with lots of aches so basically have lay down since. I also had some dizziness this evening which was horrible but thankfully didn't last long. Probably from my low blood pressure though. I am 23 weeks tomorrow so 17 days left to get past my girls gestation.

Don't worry, Day, it's completely normal to lose part or all of your mucus plug at any point in pregnancy. It regenerates itself so it really doesn't have to mean labor is imminent. It could, of course, but try not to stress yourself about it too much.
Jadey hope your feeling better today,I had the conflicting advice too, my consultant said don't rest carry on normal life, then after speaking to my midwife about the aches and pains I get she said if they go when you rest then rest. Then I told my consultant at my last check up about resting because I feel better and he said rest if it makes you feel better but the stitch will surprise you. I didn't completely rest all day long I still walked up and down stairs to use the toilet.. My daughters a typical 4yr old aswel and I would just get downstairs and she would send me back up for somthing like a toy or she would ask to use the toilet so I would have to go all the way back up stairs. Just try to take it easy and get checked if your worrying about your symptoms. I have been to the hospital so many times when I was worried to get checked.. But like CW says always go on your body. Today mines achey so I will be resting more.
CW your little boy was a great weight,nice to hear he did well. Also it's comforting to know that your friends premmies did well at an even younger gestation. I never thought I would be scared to have a baby early again, as you know my little girl was a 29weeker and after having a 22weeker I thought any gestation after 24weeks is brilliant but when you realise that you could actually have another baby early it is quite scary. I just need to hang on until 28weeks (I know iv said this a million times lol) I just feel like I'm not going to get to term that's all and I'm expecting a prem baby due to the symptoms I'm having.
I down have any more cervical scans but going to ask my midwife when I see her tomorow if I can get one soon to see what's going on.
Congratulations on 28weeks
tickers moving fast now
Thankyou 25weeker, got my fingers crossed for you aswel. Not to jinx anything but you seem to be doing well with your cervical measurements and I hope it continues for you
Hope everyone else is ok. Tlm and day not far for you two to go now

Hi ladies, I decided today there's an up side to all this resting, especially on beautiful days like today! I'm sat in a comfy chair in the garden soaking up a bit of sun watching my lovely hubbie and gorgeous little boy do some gardening. Lovely . So I finally reach 28wks, it's a good place to be although just like when I hit 24wks I've moved my goal again! I'm now aiming for 30, the point where my sister had her little one. She did brilliantly.
I'm feeling a bit of low pressure today, but fine otherwise so trying not to over think it! I'm guessing its baby's position??
Twinkle, how did your little one do at 29wks, did she need much support?
How are you feeling today, I hope the pressure has eased.
I know what you mean about 4yr olds! My son has me up and done every 5 minutes wanting something, a drink, a toy, the toilet etc...
Jadey, how are your cramps today? I hope they've settled down. Did you get checked out?
Day, I didn't lose my plug last time, it must of happened during birth?? So I wouldn't know what it looked like! You're at a good gestation, so your little ones should be fine if they decide to come sooner rather than later!
25wker, hope you feel better after a rest, sometimes I've felt really achy after standing for too long, it's a horrible feeling and always worried me too. I hope your dizziness has gone to, that's probably blood pressure related.
Hope everyone else is doing ok today xxx
