3 am club! I'm back to work today and I'm stressed already. Counting down the weeks to mat leave! Never felt so stressed in all my life, can't take any sick leave as won't get paid. Horrible situation to be in when I feel so burnt out.

Really struggling to cope at the moment. I’m being tested for Cholestasis due to severe itching and my swelling has gotten so bad I’m in so much pain it’s just keeping me up all night long midwife is just so dismissive of it, my toes literally don’t touch the ground I have about 1cm thick of fluid running along the soles of my feet, the top of my feet are so swollen it’s hard to even compress them and then don’t get me started on the itchiness Rewriting my birth plan as I’ll now be happy to accept an induction as I just cannot cope with this much longer. Having to go outside in the pouring rain in a pair of Birkenstocks because crocs no longer fit me and I can’t get even get a pair of socks on. So over it

Happy 36 weeks to you!! hopefully this last little bit flies in for you!

I have a new found appreciation for King Charles and his signing documents/pen dilemma these sausage fingers are so clumsy! Can’t wait to wear socks, shoes & my ring again! Will be delightful

Usual Monday morning thing of counting down how many weeks/days until maternity leave..

I had a little bleed earlier today, it was light in colour and in amount but my mind went into overdrive as I’ve lost 2 pregnancies in the past year. My fertility dr didn’t seem concerned as it wasn’t heavy, red nor painful so have said just to keep on going as usual until my scan next week. It’s stopped now and I’m feeling a lot better emotionally but I was struggling so much earlier.. have many other ladies here had bleeding in the first trimester? I am 6+3.

If you go back on all the threads, I think in every single one, you will find someone asking exactly the same

I've had 4 pregnancies and with every single one, I've had a bleed. Brown/pink/some red anywhere from 4 and 8 weeks.
I've had scans with 2 of them and both times it was confirmed it was left over blood from implantation along with the foetus burying deeper into the lining

I did the other week and was sent to triage to check for preeclampsia but it turned out it was muscle strain, if it comes back or gets worse ring your midwife xx

Feeling very sorry for myself this morning , had a migraine since yesterday and as soon as I got out of bed I was sick. I was sick yesterday morning too, it’s just exhausting being sick. Sorry not sure what the point of this rant is, I’m grateful so far my pregnancy is low risk but my tiredness isn’t going and I swear to god if someone tells me one more time I’ll have bursts of energy in the second trimester (I’m 15 weeks) I would kick them in the teeth (if I could reach). I’m so happy to be pregnant and excited for the baby and know this will all be worth it it just feels a bit like exhaustion and sickness will never end.

It’s not sad at all, when I get to the next week I get so excited too, it’s really exciting

Have they scanned your legs at all? My feet swelled insane amounts & I couldn’t walk without pain but I had an ultrasound and was put on injections the same day, they should be doing something about that! Even if your normal midwife isn’t being helpful i would give triage a ring! xx

Thanks for suggesting this as they haven’t done more than just looking at my swelling so I’ll speak to triage today as my midwife just goes “oh we don’t really mind swelling in the feet and legs and your face doesn’t look that bad” completely disregarding that she has no reference point to what I look like pre swelling xx

20 week scan today….. deep breaths….

Definitely give them a call! It was one of the girls in triage who actually said she wanted them scanned & the injections and sorted it all within 20 minutes - my midwife didn’t seem fussed either when she read it in my notes xx

Joining this thread again! We recently found out number 2 is on the way - due June 2023. Our little girl is only 6.5 months so sleep and sanity is going straight out the window but I can't wait.

It went and came back again, it’s not like unbearable but not sure if I should call or not. Been sleeping on and off this morning but pretty sure movements have been fine too
