Frequent Brixton Hicks at 32 weeks

Hi Mummies, have you ever experienced frequent Brixton hicks contractions? I’m currently in 32 weeks and have been experiencing BH contractions every half an hour. It has been going on over a week already. They are mild and bearable. I know BH contractions are normal during the third trimester but isn’t it too frequent to have it every half and hour or so?

yes it seems a bit frequent. do speak to your gynae

Am I able to get HL from my gynea at week 35 onwards due to work stress?

I've been feeling stressed and burned out lately due to the changes in management. As my boss requested more, it seems like I am not able to contribute as I tend to lose focus and am not able to commit with the OT. My team stayed till midnight at times to clear work, which I find it really tough as I am drained by then.

Yes you can ask. Just let your gynae know that you’ve been feeling more exhausted due to work stress. If you go on in this way, it’ll be a matter of time that you’ll develop some troubling symptoms eg headache, body aches. Pretty sure you’re supposed to rest and focus on labour by 36 weeks onwards so gynae will be understanding of this.

Severe upper abdomen pain that last about 30 mins

Hi, I'm in my 28th week! I have this severe upper abdomen pain (near to ribs and heart) the second time this week, the first one happened 2 days ago! We called the ambulance, and when the ambulance came, the pain was gone! Now this happen again mid night at 1am, same, it lasted for 30 mins! Any mummy having the same issue? Is more like dull pain and I noticed my back aches at the same time.

It could be normal pain/pelvic pain/heartburn whereby when baby's growing and has limited pain you feel the aches and pains and long holding pains from pelvic area, back, ribs, heart, abdominal, crotch area. However, if it is a repeated pain that is unbearable usually, I will consult doctor and ask to check or share with me tips or prescribe cooling gel, etc to ease the pain.

I'm week 27! How do you survive at work till maternity leave? Any tips! Feeling no mood to work :(

Facing a demanding boss and I don't have mood to work! I wonder how to survive till maternity leave!

Just face the 'ocean' and do what you are suppose to be doing. Look forward to meeting your favourite colleagues/best buddy at work and thinking of the end mth salary. Even it doesn't make any difference before pregnancy but well atleast that's a little motivation. It may sound hard. But that's what I tell myself when I was working FT/PT. Having said that, I always draw line to all my superior,management, colleagues that I am pregnant so don't give a hard time to me during this period as this can definitely affect my mood, work ethic and performance.
