Only reason I'm considered underweight is because I was super skinny with a high metabolism. My heaviest was 106 before my first pregnancy. Then I dropped back down to 100 before this one.

Thanks everyone. They haven't given me any special restrictions yet, but they told me I'm high risk this time. They said I was underweight, my pregnancies were too close and I had a 4cm cyst on my ovary (it dissolved).

Yeah my OB only does a pelvic exam at 35/36 weeks because it can cause you to go into labor. He will only check me afterwards if I ask.

My mother in law is positive as well as I that I’ve been having contractions and not BH ones. Because they’re lasting 1-2 minutes every hour for 4-5 hours and then they stop for a while and then they will kick back up again. Ill be 32 weeks on Friday. I had this same thing happen with me with my daughter and I didn’t deliver her till 40 weeks.

But I understand your back hurting girl. I feel like mines about to break along with my hips and crotch 🙁 my son feels so low I feel like if I sneezed so hard he’s going to just go “plop” on the floor 😂 I know that’s not possible but that’s how it feels.

If you’re not on restrictions ( I am sadly) I’d suggest warm showers or a heating pad. ❤️❤️ or maybe a back massage. I will have my husband rub my back in the shower sometimes and let Luke warm water hit my lower back. I can’t take hot showers or baths anymore or use a heating pad so I’ve had to seek out other methods of relief.

Reason I’m on restrictions is because I walked a lot and had sex and started having contractions and my OB is just being cautious because I’m still pretty early and he doesn’t want me to have a NICU baby and I second that.

Hang in there momma you’re almost done!

It’s not routine to be checked at 31 unless they see a reason to (even if past preterm labour) Back pain isn’t really a reason for them to check as it’s normal for pregnancy of that gestation so is pressure. Those two things are also magnified in subsequent pregnancies.

I’ve had a premie and to date they don’t check me till 34 and only then if I ask..unless there’s reason to believe it’s needed.

Many women walk around effaced and dilated for weeks it doesn’t necessarily mean there’s cause for concern or baby is coming immediately. I had a patient last night who’s been at a 4 since 34 weeks and had her babe at 40.

I have the same pain but it's taken me 3 weeks to get to 3cm. I'm now 37w4d
