Alrighty, of course I'm going to call my doctor.. But I want some opinions since I am a first time mom. For the last week I've been experiencing period like cramps, they haven't been too bad but enough for me to notice and have to sit down. Then tonight I keep getting weird bouts of stomach cramping and nausea where I feel like I'm getting a stomach virus. I've also had a teeny bit of discharge which I know is normal during pregnancy but I haven't had any discharge my entire pregnancy until now. I haven't had anything that seems like a contraction or Braxton hicks which is the only reason why I'm questioning this. I was reading that my symptoms are common symptoms of preterm labor, but I haven't had any contractions that I know of. Is it possible to go into preterm labor without feeling any contractions?? Baby girl is still kicking around like crazy, so I'm relieved about that. But I just want some opinions. I could just be having regular pregnancy symptoms. But I just want some of your opinions and experiences.
I mean they could be preterm labor symptoms but I PROMISE, I felt like crap for weeks. Hahaha. Especially the cramping, that was the worst part. I wouldn't freak out too much. :)
@darianweaver, thank you so much! Everywhere I read my symptoms are preterm labor symptoms but I know that all of those can be normal pregnancy symptoms too! At least I'm not having contractions!
I had period like cramping almost my entire 3rd trimester. It SUCKED. All sounds pretty normal to me. 😊
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
Short Luteal Phase?
I've just started temping because I believe that the reason I haven't had a BFP yet, after 20 months, is because I believe I may have a Luteal Phase Defect.
Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
Starting TWW. Anyone else?
I had a stillborn daughter at 38 weeks this passed Nov. This is my second month ttc. (Last month we only tried for like two weeks though). My last and only pregnancy, I got pregnant the first month of ttc so I hope it's quick this time again.
Trigger. Lost baby
Went in for my 20 week check up and found out our son had passed away. Nothing was wrong, my pregnancy has been going great. I'm so numb right now. I'll he delivering him later this week. I don't want to do this. I don't want to do this. Not before Christmas. How am I'm going to tell my kids?? My dear sweet baby boy. Why did this happen?
I've been in the hospital three times with preterm contractions and had to have shots to stop them. Each time I just felt really BAD cramps. The contraction monitor got up to 50 and they were regular but I wasn't feeling anything at all that felt like what people have described contractions to feel like, just intense constant cramping that I COULDN'T bear. But if you can handle it, you're probably okay. Probably just normal cramping.
