There is no comfort in bed for a good few days. You just get in and lie there, unable to turn over, or even get back out easily. But it does pass quite quickly. Amazing that baby is latching! You should mention to the midwives about numbness in your legs. I think it’s normal enough after a spinal to have continued numbness, but always good to get checked out.Omg trying to get to sleep in your own bed 2 days after a c section is so weird. I just can't get comfy. How I long to be able to lie sideways with my pregnancy pillow!!
Baby is asleep but mummy isn't. Just had ti walk around the house as I woke up disorientated and didn't know where I was then felt scared I couldn't feel my legs! Any tips anyone?!
In other news, baby is latching now...
Hope all of you preggo superstars have had a great Saturday. I cried during strictly come dancing bc my 4YO was playing so nicely with his toys and I felt like a bad mum to him since baby arrived and bec I love him so much - hormones!! x
It was honestly just amazing!! Feels free to inbox me, not sure how you do that! We had a music playlist and let me tell you it hugely helped. All the staff were were going and dancing it was amazing.
Good luck in the coming daysGahhhhhaven't posted here in ages but I'm getting induced at 9am this morning such a mix of feels right now. Tried my best to get some decent rest but I've been wide awake since just after 4am
Currently 38+2, getting induced because baby measured 9lb15oz on Wednesday at a growth scanso here's to hoping that's wildly inaccurate!
Thank you for this! The sonographer was quite reassuring and said she just wants to know so that we can prepare the consultant/paediatric team to be ready to do their checks or scans but there’s a good chance it’s nothing serious. I guess we’ll have to wait and see. I hope your little ones investigations all come back OKMy baby’s right kidney was dilated at a 34 week scan, he had another scan when he was 6 weeks old and we’ve had another 2 different tests done. I’m not saying this to scare you, just what we’ve experienced! The consultant doesn’t seem particularly worried but just investigating why it’s dilated. Apparently if there was a blockage he would have multiple UTIs by now so god knowsHope it all goes ok
I'm 33+3 and Im feeling totally drained today. I've felt it on and off the whole way through but weeks 6-16 were the worst with really bad morning sickness and exhaustion.Has anybody hit a certain point in pregnancy and just felt totally wiped out? Despite being really sick the tiredness has really hit the past few days, I’m 12 weeks tomorrow. Pretty certain it’s a mix of working full time and having a 6 year old and 2 year old to occupy as well as growing another human
We're both negative/symptom free this morning, will just have to be vigilant for the next few days. Not ideal when we're in the middle of havng some work done at home and my car is meant to be going in tomorrow, but better now than closer to the due date I guess.Eeek exciting! Good luck
Oh no how stressful! Have you and husband done tests?
From about weeks 8-13 I found the exhaustion really unbearable, I was napping like 2 hours in the middle of everyday if I could which isn't like me at all and it still didn't really touch the sides. I'm 14+3 now and it's getting a bit better, I can get through most days OK unless I don't sleep well the night before, then it's as bad as it was again. That seems to correlate with the nausea as well for me, it's so much worse when I don't sleep well. Full time + 2 kids - you are superhuman mumma!Has anybody hit a certain point in pregnancy and just felt totally wiped out?

It’s such a personal choice. Some people are happy to be induced as soon as they can, especially if pregnancy has taken its toll, and others don’t mind waiting. For me, I was induced with my first and second, and when they phoned and offered me earlier with my second (just 2 days so I was 40+8) I took it in a heartbeat - I wanted him OUTBeen mulling something over the last few days. I have regular growth scans due to high BMI, baby measuring perfectly average so far but at my last consultant appointment they offered induction on my due date (purely due to my weight not anything to do with health of baby etc) to which I said I’d rather not, so they suggested induction at 41 weeks which I agreed to. It’s not booked yet as they will do that when I have my last growth scan next week. I’m now so tired uncomfortable, my SPD has gotten worse, I’m in constant pain and just completely wiped I’m considering changing my mind and going for induction on my due date- this is my second baby and I was induced last time at 38+5 due to large baby, she wasn’t large and it was a long induction but all went well. So I’m not scared of induction really but just thought it was always considered better and easier to go naturally so why get induced at 40 weeks if I might go into labour myself a day later- but then again if that was the case surely the induction would be a piece of cake as my body would be ready. Anyone got any advice what they would do in my situation? Is it better just to push through that extra week to increase my chances of going into labour on my own?
I don’t think there is any indication, however did I try all the old wives tales to get the baby out? NoFor those of you ladies that already had babys.. what is a good indication that the baby is going to be overdue? Currently 36 weeks and would love for the baby to be on time
I’m over dueI don’t think there is any indication, however did I try all the old wives tales to get the baby out? No
I think I just knew my second would be over because the first was. And I know the third one would’ve been if we didn’t originally go in for a section. I think I’m always destined to go over and will always need intervention to get the babies out
I get scans every 2 weeks do you think they would have told me by now if they wanted to get the child out early? Sorry for the stupid questions I’m cluelessI don’t think there is any indication, however did I try all the old wives tales to get the baby out? No

Kerb walking is a new one I’ve recently heard! So, as you’re walking along the kerb, put one foot on the road and one on the pavement. It will happen. It just might happen in a couple of weeks. It is so frustrating. Especially when people won’t leave you alone with ‘anything happening yet?’ I never lost my plug, never had my waters go by themselves, nothingI’m over dueTried sex, spicy food, bouncing on the birthing ball, walking up and down stairs, relaxing. Nothing.
I don’t feel any different and I don’t know whether it will just happen. Frustrated and bored. And so sick of heart burn
How long you got, 5 weeks? They might leave it right to the last minute to tell you they want to induce early. The last 6-8 weeks of pregnancy are the worst !I get scans every 2 weeks do you think they would have told me by now if they wanted to get the child out early?
