About to enter the 3rd trimester;28th week in 2 days. I have developed painful rashes between my thighs and butt. It's so painful that I find it difficult to sit.
I applied coconut oil and it worked for me but now, it's back again.
How have you dealt with it?
Last year, I had a loss at 16-weeks due for PPROM due to suspected IC.
Currently in 24W. Had a preventive cerclage at 12weeks. Since last two days, I feel less stronger flutters and a bit inconsistency in flutters. Flutters used to be consistent and noticeable since week 18 for me since I have a posterior placenta.
Is it normal?
Generally, it's advisable to not count kicks before 28 weeks. Is everything alright or I am just over reacting?
How do I calm myself?
​
I, sometimes, feel that AM is just for population expansion when approached with a highly conservative mindset. I mean to say that when it is rushed and there's no courtship period.
33F here, married in AM for 6 years and in LDR for 2 years.
I wonder about ways to make AM feel like a LM. Perhaps, I am wrong to think like that.
Ever since my marriage, I always felt that life has been on a roller coaster ride with many relocations and intense pressure of producing babies right from the beginning.
I love babies and would love to have one as my own but the way the entire process was rushed into, instead of trying to understand each other, has taken a toll on my emotional and physical self. I suffered a second trimester loss and am now growing a life inside me.
I feel exhausted with an unavailable husband. Don't get me wrong. He's not bad but way too engrossed in his work and life. He has never abused me not tried to control me but I never felt emotionally understood or heard ever.
Just ranting here out of hormonal upheaval
Where can I find a cook, in the Baramunda area, for lunch and dinner for a reasonable monthly salary?
I contacted some through some agencies that I found on the internet, whose charges are unreasonable.
Suggestions are appreciated.
I am in my 24th week, my second pregnancy. My first ended in loss at 16-weeks due to PPROM due to suspected IC.
I've had preventive cerclage at 12weeks. I have been feeling a bit of rectal pressure and nearby areas since yesterday. Today, I found some white mucus like discharge, no odour or colour, could be normal, but I am a bit worried although I can feel the movement of the baby.
I have started feeling pain in my left leg since last 2-3 days. Are all these normal pregnancy symptoms?
This is my second pregnancy, in 24 weeks now. My first pregnancy ended in PPROM at 16 weeks due to suspected IC last year.
I had a preventive cerclage at 12weeks. I am working remotely ever since as I have been advised bed rest ; could be modified. Doc says it's high risk pregnancy and I should take care of not straining the cerclage. Atleast I should do everything to keep my pregnancy going past mid of October.
I get cramps on and off and that keeps me a bit worried if everything is alright. Fingers crossed 🤞 Till now, things have been going well by God's grace 🙏
Ever since I started working remotely, my efficiency isn't that great. My mind still hovers around little symptoms and not being able to enjoy pregnancy like I did in my first one, even though I have more support this time from my family as I am living with them.
I was practicing breathing exercises and positive affirmations which made me feel confident but there have been some inconsistency after 20 weeks.
Most of the time, I lay in bed and do a little walk inside the house.
Can anyone share some tips about how to divert mind to positive and enjoyable aspects of pregnancy instead of focusing on the high risk part?

Hi,
I am in 23 weeks , this is my second pregnancy. I got preventive cerclage at 12weeks. Last year, I lost my baby in 16th week due to suspected IC. I've been feeling flutters of my baby since the 18th week as I have a posterior placenta. Baby is generally quite active and I feel him/her moving while I lay down on bed or sitting. But today I feel a bit less movement. Is there something to worry?
How long did you take probiotics?
Hi All,
Are you doing any exercises (those with cerclage) to help you for a vagina delivery?
I got a preventive cerclage placed at 12 weeks, have been advised modified bedrest. I was just wondering if staying in bed most of the time, worsens the chance of vaginal delivery. I am in 23 weeks now.
How are you all preparing for delivery or when did you start preparing?
This is a question for working ladies on this sub, how are you focusing on work?
I am in tech and have been advised of a modified bedrest, after cerclage at 12 weeks. Now, I am in 23 weeks. I feel crampy most of the time since the last few weeks. I recovered from very bad dysentery and constipation .
As my work is more of desk type job , I have been advised not to sit for long hours but to accomplish tasks , I need to sit consistently. My work is suffering and I am finding it a bit challenging.
Can someone suggest me how to focus on work at this stage?
Hi All,
I am a 33F married to 35M in a typical AM for 6 years, living LDR. I am in my second trimester after losing my first born last year. Since, I was always single before marriage, so got some bare minimum expectations from marriage as every couple which were always dismissed.
I enjoyed my single life, no expectations from anyone, buried myself in my hobbies like reading, singing, writing, learning crafts etc.
Now, I want to lead a similar life while being married. We don't argue or fight but then we don't live like a normal couple, go out to eat or celebrate anniversaries. There has never been any emotional intimacy right from the start and my marriage happened within 3 months from our first text, everything in my married life felt rushed and aimed to produce progeny.Our phone calls don't last beyond 30 seconds, it's like a chore or duty to call another , nothing like feeling to talk.
Even asking my husband to text me as a surprise seems like a big one .I have always been the one who always initiated conversation but now, I am tired of just fulfilling his needs in every way and emotionally exhausted after losing my first born.
So, I want to enjoy my single life while zeroing all my expectations because they hurt and I know they'll never be fulfilled.
How do I keep my mind away from marriage and focus on more fulfilling things in life?
I am 33F, AM to 35M. Have been married for 6 years and in LDR for 2 years. I am in my second trimester now. Both of us have been loyal to each other even though I feel we don't communicate at deeper levels. He's always too busy in his work ,news of cricket and politics. We talk everyday but it's just very formal and last for a few minutes ,nothing lovey dovey like a couple.
I had never been in any relationship in the past and expected marriage to be the most fulfilling and satisfying one but always felt that I was ignored. My husband isn't a bad person, he never drinks not smokes nor abused me but when it comes to emotional intimacy, he never seems to take any action.
Whenever I insisted on doing more things together, he always avoided it. He had been in 2 serious relationships in his past before marriage, one during his college days which lasted for 4 years and one during his job ; which lasted for 2 years and progressed till marriage but broke off in the end.
He never discussed his gfs or his past love lives untill being asked , said that things didn't work out for them for the financial situations that he had been dealing with.
I am someone who values deeper and honest conversation but always felt that I never got the chance to speak my heart out.
Tonight, I don't know why I'm getting a feeling that he might be talking to someone else. I know he's not that type of guy, he entirely keeps himself busy with his work, cricket, movies and politics but don't know why I am getting this feeling.
One day , I asked him if he doesn't feel lonely, while managing the office, home and everything, he told me that his work, cricket, movies and politics are there to accompany him.
Am I overthinking or my pregnancy hormones are making me doubt him? Or is there any way how I can clear my doubt?
A few days ago , I posted something related to severe abdominal cramps extending to anus ON & OFF due to constipation, that's what doctor suggested. I have been prescribed Duvidilan 10mg 4 times a day at an interval of 6 hours.
https://www.reddit.com/r/ShortCervixSupport/s/TL1x6NlL8U
The pain still continues ON & OFF since last 5 days even though it has recovered for 40%, I visited 3 doctors, everyone said not to worry much as it will ease out soon. I was given injections of antibiotics after which the pain subsided for some hours and then resumed.
These cramps are so uncomfortable but irregular. I would rate them 8 or 9 out of 10. My passing of stool has improved today but the pain persists even after that.
I can feel the movement of my baby. I am in 21 weeks with cerclage placed on 12th week. Had a second trimester loss last year due to suspected IC.
In the morning, I felt itching in my throat and I checked to find the temperature around 100°F(37.8°C). I've taken a tablet of Dolo-650 after my meal. A bit worried and anxious about the situation. Has anyone faced the same ? Share your experiences.
I was planning to take the Flu shot tomorrow.
Hi,
As the title suggests, I am looking for a maternity clinic with reasonable expense and best facilities for delivery as I don't have insurance now. Based on the rating, I am thinking about Ahaana and Ankura.
Can someone tell me the total expenses of delivery and accommodation in these hospitals based on your knowledge and experience? Or if you have any other suggestions, please feel free to share.

Has anyone faced severe constipation issues leading to abdominal cramps?
I had severe abdominal cramps in the right side that extended to the right side waist and anus. My pain remained the same throughout the day. I would ratr it as 9/10 , unbearable. I went to hospital and got duvidilan 10mg for 4 times a day at the interval of 6hours, for relaxing uterus irritations as doc said it's normal to feel that as I am in 20W and has cerclage on 13W.
She has strictly advised me to be on bedrest. I feel I am getting gassy and developing issues in passing stool normally.
That medication didn't seem to work properly, had spent sleepless night tossing in pain. So, I rushed to the hospital in the morning to get an injection which eased my pain a bit.
The pain hasn't gone completely though but I am thinking whether to wait a bit or contact doctor.
Has anyone felt something like this?
I had a 20 week anatomy scan a few days ago. My reports are normal by God's will (fingers crossed) 🤞.
When I visited the gynaecologist, she suggested me cerclage as I had a second trimester loss last year, suspected IC. This time , I got a preventive cerclage at 12W3D.
I am anxious about what the doctor said. She fears any preterm rupture of membrane, could be a threat to my life. So, suggested to me bedrest, even not walking, to avoid any pressure on my cervical stitch.
Has anyone faced such a situation? How did you handle it?
When did you first feel the movement of your baby?
