Congestion

My 3.5 month old baby has been congested for approx 5 weeks now! I’ve been to the drs 3 times and they have said he’s fine.
He is fine in the day but from around 2am I can hear he is so congested.
I have tried humidifier, saline spray, calpol plug ins, keeping him upright after bottles.
He has been put on Piriton and is slightly better with it but not much! Any tips?

Baby chair

From what age can babies use this?
My baby has good neck control but cant yet sit without support so will end up sliding sideways. This has good support but I don’t want it to cause any physical harm or push her early than needed. Please thoughts.

Movements

Movements

Hey all!
I’m 18 weeks now, at 17 weeks I started feeling movements, just very light although I felt one kick from the outside of my tummy with my hand but I’ve had about 4 days now without feeling anything at all, is this normal? Midwife says they don’t form a pattern until 24 weeks but just an anxious pregnant mama!!

morning sickness isn’t for the weak

i’m 6 weeks and 4 days. i just went to the er yesterday for dehydration and not being able to keep anything down. is anyone else lowkey suffering? i feel so helpless and have to work on top of everything.

hoping tmrw my pcp will prescribe me some Zofran. Unisom has gotten me through the work day today so far. praying i can keep what i’m about to eat down.

Phantom kicks

Now I am no way pregnant but I swear sometimes I have the feelings that I’m being kicked or have the feeling of when I was pregnant and my little one was moving around.

Sometimes it stops me in my tracks and I’m like oooooo hang on 🤣🤣🤣

Please tell me I’m not the only one 🫠

Extreme round ligament pain in right thigh/groin area

Im 35 weeks pregnant and struggling to walk on my right leg due to extremely bad pain in my groin area/ inner thigh that shoots up my bum cheek and sometimes down my leg.

Ive been to A&E with in on Sunday to rule out a blood clot as i have a blood clotting autoimmune condition and that came back fine.

Its now gotten to a point i can barely walk on it and any slight movement of the right leg causes me so much pain, to a point where sometimes i cant even move it at all because of how painful it is.
The only time it eases is in the bath but comes straight back as soon as I’m out. Baby is laying on my right side and also measuring a big baby anyways so it does make a lot of sense that there is a lot of weight on my right side but i’m really struggling to cope now. I have no pain in my stomach or lower pubic area its just my thigh area.

Ive spoke to maternity assessment multiple times and theyve said theres nothing they can do as they can’t investigate and treat leg problems and can only treat pregnancy related problems but i’m pretty sure this is a pregnancy related problem due to my baby being massive😂

Can anyone relate because right now i feel like this isn’t normal and i haven’t seen any other pregnant woman talk about it being so extremely bad before!
