I remember how bad I suffered from both of these last pregnancy and for awhile afterwards. I want to be prepared this time instead of just suffering. I don't think I had a bm for like 10 days after my daughter was born. Even with fiber intake, things just weren't moving along like they should...

Midwife did all obs and I am fine and baby is pretty good apart from its showing small for...

Dh and I had a lovely debate last night :). I started having what I would consider to be Braxton-Hicks contractions (just tightening around my belly button, not painful, sometimes even had to poke my tummy to see if it was hard to be sure that tight feeling was in fact a ctx), _except_...
