Hi Need Some Advice

[Mummy0410]

Hey there,

I never experienced this when pregnant with either
of my 2 DD. My first is 4 and a half and my second is 14
months doesn't seem that long ago but I never experienced
this and I'm hoping some1 here has

My best friend is 35+3 and is getting really sharp pains
down the left side of her bump and a stabbing pain right
behind her belly button and is very worried. This is her
first child. Does anyone have any ideas what this could be?
Or what she should do

Thanks

is the pain constant or in a pattern or anything?

That pain sounds like really painful ligament pains. I'm suffering right now as I get a pain down my left side. A hot water bottle has done wonders ESP after a hot bath.

If in doubt call the labour ward hun

this morning so hopefully she gets evrything sorted

Thanks

Hi Louise,

I complained to my midwife of a sharp pain behind my belly button area. My midwife told me it was most probably the baby playing with the umbilical chord. This was enough to reassure me. It has happened a couple of times since, but seems to have worn off over the past few weeks.

I'd advise your friend to speak to her midwife - even if just to put her mind at rest, as worrying about it wont help

Hope it all goes well for your friend

I would say for her to see her midwife, i have been getting painful braxton hicks and went to see her today and said i not been feeling right and getting pains maybe water infection and i had protien in my urine, so they have sent it off and if i get pains again to go doctors or straight to l+d as i have had a prem baby before. she wasn;t funny with me or anything and said i did the right thing going to see her.
