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.

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.

How much amount of folic acid are you taking?

When did you feel your baby kick for the first time?

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?

This is my pregnancy after the second trimester loss which occurred last year. The doctor suspected it to be IC even though cervical length was not measured.

I am 19 weeks pregnant now, had preventive cerclage at 12weeks. I have started feeling a bit crampy today since morning, the cramps that start from my abdomen , lower back waist right side, extending to the anus. I have had the issue of constipation due to iron supplements in the past 2-3 days which made me too worried. I didn't want to strain myself but had to rush to the washroom multiple times and sit for some time to release the stool.

These cramps aren't regular though but kept coming throughout the day. Lying down eases them a bit.

Could it be due to ligament stretching or anything else? Should I be worried at this point?

I'm a 33F married to 35M in AM for 6 years; 2 years LDR. What my marriage made me feel to suppress my urge for simple gestures of love, would often make me wonder, what could've I done if I were a man and in my AM.

​

If I were a man, I would've loved my wife more as my previous relationships taught me how to love.

​

Marriage is a long term relationship and investing fully in it will only reap long term benefits.

​

Relationship with GFs may or may not last long but there may be a possibility of building a life long partnership in an AM.

​

When I am the only man in my wife's life, I would make sure that she chose the right one and gets the best experience of having a partner in her life, knowing the fact that how precious she is when she neither had past nor was involved in any relationship before marriage.

​

I would've taken my beautiful wife out on regular dates, caressed her tresses, supported her in household chores, pampered her with gifts and surprises, realising about the permanence of this relationship.

​

When I know that something is going to last long, what's stopping me to express or share love or feelings ? I shouldn't feel any inhibition or restrictions to express my love.

​

When on a date, we would talk about life for hours on a beach or in a normal restaurant, our likes, dislikes, journeys so far and the dream of building life together one day at a time.

​

I would romanticize little moments of life as love dwells in little moments of life.

Hi All,

​

Currently I am pregnant and in my second trimester. 33F Married to 35M for 6,AM; LDR for 2 years. This is my second pregnancy, first one ended unexpectedly last year in my second trimester. So, this pregnancy is a high-risk pregnancy.

​

Currently LDR with my husband, living with in-laws. I am wondering how having a child will change the marriage dynamics with the husband. Will it make him more empathetic towards me?

​

My husband's way too much into his work. I craved for emotional intimacy and support throughout my marriage. He was always absent for me, he says he's working hard to build a comfortable life for us but I don't see this over indulgence doing any good.

​

I am looking for some happy stories which will reaffirm my faith in kid bringing couple together. I am scared of the thought of managing everything all on my own.

Hi Everyone,

I am 33F married to 35M in AM for the last 6 years, in LDR now since 6 months. I have a high-risk pregnancy, in the second trimester now and have been living with my in-laws for a year. I had a second trimester loss last year. I feel stressed and a bit scared.

I am working now.My life seems to be suffocating and I feel I need air to breathe. I have an emotional unavailable husband who thinks living with his family is all I need at this time.

I am looking for a pregnancy support group, if there's any. It'll be helpful if I get one. Thanks in advance 🙏

I am in my 17th week and I have been facing tight stool issue. Looks like I strained my vagina a bit as I am feeling a bit stinging and twitching sensation there. I had a preventive cerclage at 12weeks. Is everything all fine? Is it normal? Did anyone face something similar?

ChatGPT says it could be due to increased blood circulation or expansion of uterus. What do you think?

Venting out my emotions

33(F) , married to 35(M) in AM for 6 years, have been living with in-laws for a year. Last year, lost my baby in my second trimester and my life turned 360° after moving to live with my in-laws. It wasn't my decision but of my husband's. He wasn't so happy living here too.

My in-laws are old school people, their lifestyle is very different. Even though there's no fight between us, I find my freedom compromised at every level. There's no one of my age here, I don't go out , this locality is a bit semi-rural. I can't cook dishes of my own choice, neither can I order from outside. I have to ask for permission for everything.

From morning to evening, I am living inside 4-walls of a room.

My husband found a job elsewhere and moved out, I planned to move with him but VISA issues prevented it. I found out I was pregnant a few days after I joined a job , near my in-laws house.

I'm living my life in a full compromise mode from morning to evening. I am doing spiritual practices like Naam Jaap and prayer but I feel there's no one to vent my feelings out. Now, in my second trimester, cravings and mood swings are at its peak. I don't know how to handle this situation. Husband is an emotionally unavailable person, whenever I want to share my emotions, he feels that I am complaining.

I lost my baby boy in my first pregnancy in second trimester last year, to PPROM. Now, I am in my second trimester and this pregnancy is filled with anxiety and fear. I am not being able to give fearless love to my baby, not feeling so attached to it.

Got my cerclage done in 12W , now in 15W, still everything feels like a dream, everyday appears as an important exam where falling isn't accepted.

How are you navigating pregnancy after loss?

I'm feeling extremely tired and sleepy throughout the day. In my 15th week now, taking progesterone vaginally and orally. Extreme hot 🔥🥵 weather is killing me these days. It's like I want to be in the bed throughout the day, can't sit for long hours as had preventive cerclage in 12th week.

Did you have to go through cervical length check after cerclage? Is there still a chance of cervix insufficiency at this stage after cerclage and progesterone?
