I'd guess it's just your body getting ready. If it continues in that pattern for any length of time I'd call, but wouldn't necessarily worry

Generally they don't here, unless there's an indication to do so. I was checked with ds to see whether I was suitable for induction so 36+5 but that was it.

Not at all with my first delivery, and 30ish hours post delivery for 24 hours due to severely increased hyperreflexia.

I have heard it referred to as PET...guessing the OP may be from the UK? I think the T is for toxemia.

When ds was small (born 5lb 14oz at 37 weeks and was a month old before he hit 6lbs...even now he's only 55lbs and he turns 10 in a month) I was...

Yep, it's a gravity/relaxed muscles thing. Baby squishes things as they get bigger too which doesn't help. Mine was bad from about 25 weeks. So much so that even with medication I still had to sleep sitting up and it still hurt. It did get better after delivery, but mine has come back in recent year...

Within 24 hours I was producing 20mls at a session. I went home after 8 days and only brought milk into the hospital for her once after that as...

<t>My dd had this noted at the 18wk scan. They scheduled for a repeat at 32 weeks, but everything went haywire long before then, and it wasn't an issue in later scans. I had them biweekly and I can't remember when it had gone but it was before deilvery at 33 weeks.<br/> <br/> If it doesn't resolve p...
