Just wondering what you think based on my symptoms... Menopause or No?

I usually have about 16 periods in a year and they lasted 5-7 days. This year I have only had 12 periods and they have lasted 1-2 sometimes 3 days max and have been very light. I have hot flashes, chills and sweat a lot. Especially at night and it's hard to sleep. I'll wake in the night and can't go back to bed. I have been having bad mood swings. My back hurts like it's about to break. I keep getting headaches like everyday and meds don't help. My nipples are very sensitive and my boobs hurt. Also I have been actively trying to lose weight and just keep gaining weight. My head is going through a fog.too My sex drive has also dramatically decreased. I just turned 30 in June. Don't know if it's worth mentioning at my next appointment in January or if my doctor will say it's just normal. I will have a new doctor now and I don't know. But it is a real concern for me.

Can you see anything? I’m 12 DPO 🙏

My own opinion is that this is inconclusive (can maybe see a vvvfl but could also be an indent too hard to tell) but curious what others see

C - section

Hello lovelies, I’m getting closer to my date of c section.

Can I ask how it all went for you? I felt prepared and now I have this awful feeling what if I bleed out! I’m sure that’s not the case. But I just wondered how it went, and how the aftermath was. I have seen on social media people say it’s horrendous but then I speak to friends and family and they’re like yeah it’s not easy but you can cope! You can walk, etc. I think it’s the unknown… lol!

Also were you all sick during your procedure and did you all get terrible trapped gas? If so what tips do you have xx

Just want to sleep again! 🫩

I wake up around 8.30am, have some cereal, meditate/pray for a bit, make a cuppa and then by 10am I’m tired again and could easily nap. My iron levels have been checked and were fine. Is it just me or is anyone else feeling like this? I’m currently 35 weeks pregnant 👀

Best way to be induced??

I just found out I may need to be induced early due to preeclampsia and having a generally bigger baby which of the ways to be induced do y’all recommended?

This is a bit strange.. but hear me out

I am 36 weeks and 4 days today.
I had that feeling, you know when you are trying to take a tampon out on your end of period and it kind of hurts because the tampon is dry? I had that sensation today?

Now I feel like I have to push something about my vagina? It kinda tickles but uncomfortable. I’m not having any pains at all anywhere btw so can’t be baby ??
