Sickness

Starting to get really fed up with the constant nausea & sickness 😢 it’s been non stop for 4 weeks (I’m 9+1 now). Got anti sickness meds from the doctor but they made me feel horrible and didn’t stop the sickness. Can barely lift my head off the pillow and just want to lie down all day. I’ve lost 7 pounds - so…

Anyone else in a similar situation?

In due January 29th but I have feeling baby is coming sooner. The last three days I’ve had really annoying bladder pain that’s been making it difficult for me to feel like I’m fully emptying my bladder.

C section date

Hey everyone, I'm due a section at the womens hospital within the next couple of weeks and don't have a date yet. Is this normal? My previous hospital gave me a date at 36 weeks and I'm getting anxious as arranging childcare around this time is hard as it is without knowing a date. When did you get yours?

Bump measuring small

I had my bump measured at 25 weeks and it was perfect on the chart. Have gone back today for my 28 week appointment and there has been little to no growth and he is now measuring below the line. Got an emergency growth scan tomorrow but I can’t help but worry - any one else had something similar?

V/Q scan while pregnant

Hey! I’ve just had a v/q scan and im 30wks pregnant. Obviously I had to do it because they had to rule out blood clot, hence I wouldn’t have chosen differently. But I can’t help feeling regret and scared that I did harm my baby. Did anyone had to do some sort of scan and did I make the wrong choice? Of course ...

How is everyone coping?

I'm 36+2 and I'm starting to struggle. Constant upset stomach and acid reflux, intense Braxton hicks and the insomnia is letting me have only a couple of hours a night. It's overwhelming to think it could still be another 4 weeks of this and I'm not even excited for Christmas because I feel so fed up. How is everyon...
