Lower back pain occurs very often because, due to the active growth of the abdomen, the center of gravity has shifted. As a result, the lower back experiences serious stress. The pain will have to be endured, but there are several ways that can reduce it:

• go to rest several times a day to relieve the stress on your spine;
• Do pregnancy exercises daily;
• Wear a bandage that supports your stomach and back.

Mommy begins to experience training contractions. They are harmless and manifest themselves by contraction of the uterus. At the same time, the girl does not feel discomfort. However, if such contractions occur regularly and pain is felt, you should immediately call ambulance and your gynecologist. Premature labor may have begun.

This leads to the development of infection, rupture of the membranes and premature birth.

At the second screening, the doctor said that the placenta was blocking the pharynx. But there are chances that it will rise. Yesterday at the reception at the residential complex, my local police officer almost snapped - it’s bad. Apparently it will stay that way. There is almost no chance that it will rise.
There will be a third birth - I so want to believe in a miracle and give birth again on my own...
Who had similar stories? How did you give birth in the end?

Good day everyone!
I’ll start, perhaps, from the very beginning) in October last year I became pregnant, but unfortunately B froze... they made a vacuum in December, they said after 2 months we can plan because... Everything is fine.
Now the picture is this: there was PA 2 days before ovulation, after 5 or 6 days there was slight spotting, now the body temperature is at 37, BT 37.2. Is pregnancy possible or am I getting carried away? Why did I think about pregnancy, last year I also had similar discharge, and after the vacuum my periods came as usual and on time.
Today is 8-9 days after O.
Thank you in advance for each of your opinions.
Health and children to all

Good morning!
Let's chat about the quirks you had while you were expecting your babies.
During my first pregnancy, without even knowing about it, I wanted Schweppes to the point of trembling. I drank for a whole week, then I stopped liking it))) my second son was not a gourmet and I already began to think that all these stories about the tricks of pregnant women were just their whims, until.... Until I became pregnant with my third. This is where my brain was visited amazing wishes. For example, the smoked mackerel went very well, which I polished with chocolate, now every day I eat carrot salad with garlic, before this I hadn’t eaten it for five years.....
But many people’s quirks concern not only food. She shared hers. Let's laugh and be surprised.

Good day to all!
I apologize for the sheet))
The first CS was almost 10 years ago and I was tormented quite a lot then. The indications were vision and breech presentation of the baby. At first, at 38 weeks, I was sent to the maternity hospital for a planned operation, they even allocated an ambulance for such a great purpose, although I felt great... and then miracles began! They kicked me out of the first maternity hospital (after 4 hours of waiting in line) under the pretext that it was too early, they say, come back in a week, then we’ll talk, and at the same time they sealed it: no cesarean, you’ll give birth yourself. On my way back, swearing at domestic medicine through clenched teeth, I trudged on a minibus, ramming heavy bags with things and grub. It’s clear that I didn’t want to go blind in my prime or have complications for the child, so after a week I prepared convincing arguments and a bunch of papers with examinations, I prepared for the battle for the CS. And here are the familiar wooden benches, a queue, 4 hours of waiting and I’m at the doctor’s. And what do I hear? Firstly, I arrived early again, which is strange, because the same doctor told me the timing. Come, they say, in 5 days. Secondly, “you will give birth yourself.” I don't care about certificates. On the way back, on the already familiar minibus, I Once again She cursed domestic medicine, this particular doctor and her relatives to the last degree, imagining them together and separately, in very piquant poses. True, having taken into account the previous failure, I took less things with me, which made it easier to drag. For the third time, I decided not to go to this maternity hospital, but chose another one. So, a new maternity hospital, the same storage facility, shops that have almost become family, a doctor’s office... “Firstly, we don’t have places, and secondly, you will give birth yourself...”. What kind of mockery is this! My patience ran out at this point, so leaving the inhospitable doors, I did not trudge home, but called Gore. Hello department, where juicy, in colors and faces, she told the story of her 3 attempts to penetrate into what I so needed, the state. institution. And then she came back and demanded written refusal in my hospitalization from the head doctor. There were no head doctors, but magically a place was found. A reprimand from the top, the management of the maternity hospital, also followed immediately. Caesarean section was approved. It is clear that this did not increase my popularity among medical staff. Then they stupidly kept me in the pathology room for a week, doing nothing, extorting money for anesthesia (I twisted a delicious cookie with a malicious grin) and for the last one and a half days I was not allowed to eat or drink, hiding behind indications for general anesthesia. Thank God the baby was born healthy and everything worked out.
Almost 10 years have passed, I'm pregnant again. Planned cesarean section for the same vision, as indicated. Remembering past ordeals, I really don’t want to repeat them, naively believing that medicine has stepped forward over the years.
How did you do the CS? Both planned and emergency operations are interesting, because anything can happen in life.
Thank you in advance for your answers))

Would you go?

Happy holiday to all girls! This is the situation: my husband’s friend had a BD, his wife (my friend, they live 2 floors above us) said that they were expecting relatives from Moscow to visit, and we were invited the next day. Well, we did just that, went the next day and congratulated him. Now the other day she also had a birthday, and these same relatives were supposed to come, and they called us back on the trail. day. Well, ok... they call in the evening, supposedly the relatives didn’t come, let’s cancel the meeting with you and meet again sometime. Yesterday these relatives came to see them, and today they are calling us. I have a feeling that they don’t want to cook especially for us, and they invite us to finish eating for our relatives. Or she could just treat her to tea... My husband says you’re right, we’ll come up with something and not go. Would you go?
