I woke up this morning at 6.30 and from 6.45am I had this burst of energy and sudden urge to clean everything in sight, even down to skirting boards, washed the doors, kitchen cupboards, pulled everything off the sides, bleached both bathrooms and floors.

I’m nearly 29 weeks, baby has very strong movements usually and is very active. For the past 20 mins I’ve been getting a really light tapping where she usually kicks but it’s like every 3 seconds.

Had really loose bowels this morning and have had period pains and back ache all day?

I had an iron infusion on Wednesday last week but I don’t feel any different. Still feeling pretty sick/weak and dizzy everyday. I was told that I should feel better within a few days. Has anyone else had it and not noticed a difference?

Is anyone else suffering from HG? I had terrible sickness in my first pregnancy but this is so much worse, I’m on anti sickness medication (yet to find a combination that works) and am loosing around 3/4lbs a week.

I’m 39 weeks today and have been having lots of pelvic pain in the front for the past 2-3 days. Doesn’t feel like baby has dropped but could this be a sign she’s starting to?

Really struggling with sleeping on my side due to pressure on my hips and discomfort. Has anybody got any tips to help ?

I’m 26 weeks pregnant, I’ve felt baby moving for a month or so now, and it seems entirely logical to me that how I feel the baby’s movements will change. Surely as the baby is growing and moving about in there, I will feel different sensations…? And I have! I understand there are risks but if baby is less active one...

Is anyone else struggling with blurred vision and headaches?
