Yeah loads of people don’t realise it’s asthma, it’s so awkward post covidOh wow I've just googled it and had never heard of it! I'll get an e-consult filled in with my GP now, thank you!
We’ve got a second hand Moses basket from a friend for this very reason (bought a new mattress and sheets).Hi ladies starting to look at the bigger purchases now and wondering what you are all using for baby to sleep in during the day downstairs? I was thinking a Moses basket but they grow out of them fast I’ve heard? Stuck on what’s best we’re going to have a next to me for upstairs
Eeeek how exciting!Had another sweep today which hasn't been classed as failed so fingers crossed. Now 1cm dilated and she could feel baby's head! Apparently baby is really low so she's surprised it's not more than 1cm? I had weird cramps on Saturday after my failed sweep on Friday, so I assume that might have been the 1cm. Got to wait and see if anything happens in the next 24/48 hours.
After having today's sweep, I can confirm if it is definitely painful and uncomfortable. Fridays wasn't painful yet I bled, today's was painful but I've not bled.
I have used the canestan cream. It says cream is safe to use but speak to GP....I’m positive I’ve got thrush, whilst I’ve got covid so that’s just delightfulbut Google says to speak to my GP or midwife before I use anything? Can I not just use the canestan stuff? x
I had thrush and it was such a pain! I went into the chemist on a Sunday and asked for canestan and they said because I was pregnant I had to call 111. 5 hours in tears I finally got a prescription for bloody canestan - cream and pessary! Wish I hadn’t been so honest in the chemist and not bothered telling them I was pregnant. Defo safe to use but the packaging says otherwise just to cover their back. You can’t take the oral treatment xI’m positive I’ve got thrush, whilst I’ve got covid so that’s just delightfulbut Google says to speak to my GP or midwife before I use anything?

Weirdly I've had much less fatigue second time around! (So far anyway, only 6 weeks). I'm surprised that's something that can vary so much!the fatigue with this pregnancy is a joke. I didn’t have anything like this on my first pregnancy. I’m so tired. I feel so sorry for my little girl, she keeps asking me to play with her and get her things and I just want to be asleep in the corner. Been an actual snooze fest, feel so drowsy
sorry Moan overI’m only 5 weeks and this was a very surprise pregnancy
Mine were born at 36+6. I was prepared from week 28 and everyone said they would be earlyHiya!
I'm still hanging in there! Almost full term this week with the twins... I never even got to full term with my singletonfully expected 24-35 weekers to be honest!
I'm in the south west and they seem to be really sparse! Thanks for the advice though... will keep hunting other twin mums hehe.
I did join the twin support fb page though which has been handy!
How many weeks were yours born? Every night I go to bed I'm so paranoid that my waters break and I go into labour
Thanks for checking in xx
I’ve found the chemist so bloody useless in pregnancy. Twice now I’ve asked them what I can use during pregnancy for cold and hay fever symptoms and been flat out told nothing only to find out (via here then NHS website) that’s not true.I had thrush and it was such a pain!

The main thing to look for is the "bloody show" usually means labour is near. Rather than the mucus plug as like you say, it regeneratesGlad you and baby are okay @Blair-Waldorf!! I fell at 13 weeks I think and it really shook me up!
I've just remembered, anyone near the end of their pregnancy, if your mucus plug/show appears it doesn't necessarily mean labour is near! I lost mine at 37 weeks I think and the midwife told me that it regenerates. I was a bitbut I've just had more chunks of it now so it must've done! Don't know it anyone knew that or if I'm just late to the knowledge party.
Oh my gosh! I'm glad you are ok. This is my current fear as some days I feel so unsteady and huge on my feet.I fell down the stairs yesterdaybaby is absolutely fine though went to MAU to be checked. I’m so sore, the doctors given me codeine
Good luck I hope everything is ok. I think at that stage they can move around to a different position and change how much you can feel them. But you know your body and baby so best to get checked xHaving to go to my maternity unit this morning with reduced movement they say I’m too early to go on monitor as I’m 23 weeks so all they’ll do is listen in… I’ve had such a bad night up most of it worrying trying to get him to move
That’s exactly it! NHS website somewhere says you can use thrush cream and 3 girls ganged up on me in the pharmacy arms folded whilst I’m in tears in front of other members of the public and said no with a smirk!I’ve found the chemist so bloody useless in pregnancy.

Glad baby is okay! Hope the pain eases up for you soonI fell down the stairs yesterdaybaby is absolutely fine though went to MAU to be checked. I’m so sore, the doctors given me codeine
I could cry I’m so scared waiting to be seen nowGood luck I hope everything is ok. I think at that stage they can move around to a different position and change how much you can feel them. But you know your body and baby so best to get checked x
