Anyone else experience Braxton Hicks contractions around the 27 week mark ?? I've been feeling them alot in the past couple of days. So uncomfortable ! Especially while I'm working. Also, I get horrible Charlie horses every night and during the day, everyday ! Mainly at night, it wakes me up out of my sleep in pain. They are horrible. I had one in my ankle last night and it felt like my foot was literally breaking in half. My ankle is still sore. 😔😔

Angi first off 27 weekssssss !!!! Almost there. I am 32 weeks and I’m in so much pain. So much pressure.. and the Charlie horses .. like where do they come from. I’ve never experience that with my daughter . And I also get these long extended hiccup. I take magnesium to help and it does but I feel like I have to take it everyday now to control the Braxton Hicks .
@leila0586 my appointment is on Thursday also, keep me updated !! I remember having them with scarlette every night in the last trimester but they were closer to the end of my pregnancy and I kind of just went along with it. This time, I'm bringing it up. I still have a little ways to go. I'm not sure that anything can be done about it but I'm hoping! I get an ultrasound on thursday also, while I wait for my glucose screening. I also have a 4d elective ultrasound thursday at a different place, I'm dying to see his little face, in color, already !! Lol I didn't know you had a date set already!! Is this your first csection?
@angikay, they set me date when I was 28 weeks. This is my first c-section . So I’m nervous, anxious and excited at the same time. I’ve been trying to watch videos cause I know nothing regarding recovery or even what to really expect with the procedure. We did our 3D/4d scan at 29 weeks baby decided to hide its face the whole time lol. So I guess it just want to be a complete surprise . Baby was weighing 3lbs at that point. Yea I never experience Charlie horses so this is completely new to me . But I also think I’m experiencing sciatica. I just can’t wait to be checked.
@leila0586 I can imagine the nervousness of it all... but it's so worth it and that would be my focus! I've heard recovery was a little rough, but then again, it's different for everyone. Depends on your pain tolerance. Watching videos will help you better understand and also talking to other moms that have been through it. I'll be 28 weeks at the time of my 4d scan. I think my boy is going to be a big boy ! He weighed 2 pounds 3 ounces at 26 1/2 weeks. I think your little surprise is a boy ! For some reason I keep wanting to say your little man when I'm talking about your baby. I seen the scans from your 4d, looks boy to me also. He was definitely in hiding ! I don't see how you've went this long without knowing !! I couldn't do it. Curiosity would've killed me for sure. Sciatica sucks !! You may be dealing with that also, it can be a normal thing when you're that far along.
Yes I’ve been getting Braxton Hicks contractions regularly!
Glad I'm not the only one but I forgot how much these suck !! How are you love ??
@angikay, I’m doing okay. I’m tired and uncomfortable now. We are almost there Angi!!!
@angieewilliams same here ! Were getting close mama, hang in there !!
Yes and it was awful. Lots of water and rest. I would bring it up to your dr for sure
Mine started at 18 weeks both pregnancies! They suck! Keep hydrated and try to rest!
Thanks love, it's like no matter how much water I drink, it's not enough!
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...
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...
Science!
My friend posted this on facebook last night and said her kids were asleep within minutes. It's a song that scientists created to help people fall asleep. I was skeptical but I thought what the hay, I'll try it out. I didn't bank on Dh falling asleep, but both him and lo were asleep by minute 2. And lo slept six straight hours. ?
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.
