Currently 34 weeks and 3 days pregnant and have really bad period like pains and lower back pain and feel generally out of sorts for last 2 days.

Is this just baby and my body getting ready.

First pregnancy and IVF and feeling very anxious now xx

Hi. How are you feeling? Hopefully the pains have stopped? Could be braxton hicks, but they shouldn't be very painful. Is baby still moving OK? Could be worth a quick call to the maternity unit if you are worried. Hope all is OK. I had IVF too so I know how stressful it can be. X

Hi winter girl

Thankfully stomach pains have stopped but back still pulling.

It wasn't like cramp, more crappy achy feeling, the hospital are hoping it was baby moving out of breech and into position but if it gets worse today I'm to go straight to triage.

I think I'm just conscious of every niggle now as still don't believe sometimes its worked and I'm having a baby 😁

Congratulations on your little one, have you had baby yet? Xx
