Hi Pearl,
I suffered from leg cramps in first two pregnancies on and off...they are horrendous and tend to come on at night when you go to bed and want to sleep. In order to avoid them in this pregnancy I am taking 300mg of mag every evening and so far so good. That's what my doctor recommended anyway. Three or so weeks then before due date you are supposed to stop as mag as it can interfere with contractions. I am having a planned c section so I will be taking it right up to my c section date! Hope you get some relief soon!
Thanks ladies. I was cramp free last night so I hope it was a one off thing
Hi CVD,
I am having a planned one because I had one with the other two boys too. I tried both times to give birth naturally but both times in labour they didn't move into the birth canal. All those hours of contractions for nothing! So this time around my OB said I should go for a planned which suits me. I personally never have to experience a contraction again (and the epidural didn't work both times so I have no pain relief fall back!). Will be meeting the head doc in the hospital in a few weeks to get a date. I am guessing maybe a week or two before due date of the 9th July...so maybe a june baby! I personally don't find c sections a walk in the park either, but it is the way it is.
Gosh less than 53 days till yours...that's no time away. I must say I am dreading the last 3 months of pregnancy! I am small so I get a massive tummy by the end of it! Hope you are keeping well and not too stressed about your rental issue.
Hi everyone! Sorry, I've been away from the boards for awhile. My mom was very sick, then passed away. I started having contractions and have been on bedrest. Finally got over all that stress and went on a mini vacation. I am so glad to be home! I have missed so much on here and I have a bunch of pages to read!
