The nightmares have got crazy, been awake since 2am as scared to go back to sleep... I'm exhausted... Think much of it is work stress. I've had a headache for 2 days.

Not long to go, finishing at Christmas..
Yeah what the hell is with the vivid dreams!? Had one we got nuked 😬😂

I keep having really vivid dreams about people being horrible to me and I hate it :( does it ever stop?
Nope! I’m 39 weeks and in the past week I’ve had nightmares about being involved in fights, murders and about family members that have passed. I hate it! Takes so long to get back to sleep after. Although I do feel like I could kill someone just now, maybe telling me something 😂😂

I dreamt last night our car was hijacked and my husband was being stabbed! Woke up terrified and couldn’t get back to sleep for an hour. The needing to wee constantly but not being arsed to get out of bed doesn’t help either 😂

Baby Neo has stayed put! We’ve made it to 32 weeks. It’s hard to believe 5 weeks ago the consultant said she was going to arrive imminently!

For those due around Christmas time, don’t forget to try and get an online shop booked now. I’ve managed to get one for 23rd Dec to save traipsing round busy shops with a newborn (that’s me hoping she stays put until her due date!)

5am club anyone? I’m 18 weeks tomorrow and can’t believe I’m halfway 🫣 my husband asked me what drink I missed the most and I said a salmon bagel 🥯 😂
If smoked salmon has previously been frozen it is safe to eat during pregnancy 😊 Sainsbury’s specifies on the packaging of their smoked salmon that it has been frozen and defrosted!

Is it… all the cheese?! Sorry, I couldn’t resist.

seriously though why are vivid dreams/nightmares part and parcel of pregnancy?!

Does anyone find the planning ahead hard? Only 14+3 but people are already wondering when I’ll be starting my maternity 😳
I’ve been doing really well to be positive as this may be our only child so want to soak it all in & love planning ahead but find it really hard to when it’s unknown territory.
For the first time in my life I want to go with the flow and plan absolutely nothing which is really unlike me 😂

You have completely turned my life around. I think it’s the hormones but I might actually cry at this news 😭😭😭 the nearest sainsburys is like 15 mins away but I’m considering going right now lmao

Can anyone confirm or not if waters breaking are as traumatic as that in HOTD 🫡
Mine were broken and I swear it was like a river!

Baby Hun arrived yesterday! I can’t deal with how much I love her already. She’s just perfect! Panicking with the breastfeeding but hopefully I’ll chill out a little and give us both a chance to learn how to do it together.

I honestly just feel a bit frozen to the spot with everything. Like I know there are things to do but I can’t make myself do them.

with maternity leave you will have a clearer idea closer to when you need to tell work depending on how your pregnancy has been and how you want to use your leave, you don’t have to decide now - but sometimes people just like to ask questions to act like they’re interested.

if forewaters break it will likely be a big gush of liquid but if hindwaters break it can be a slow trickle over a number of days. It might not even be enough to soak a sanitary towel so it’s worth keeping an eye out if your underwear is wet.

if hindwaters have broken you may need to be induced to reduce the risk of infection to you and the baby.

I'm the same! I love planning and knowing what I'm up to, but I have literally no idea how long I'll take for maternity leave, what week I plan to finish work, and whether I'll even go back to the same job afterwards, and I'm ok with not knowing! I'm only 14 + 1 so I'm cool with shrugging and saying "who knows?!" when I get asked...the lack of plan is actually quite refreshing at the moment!

I'm the same here! Had two last night, one where cockroaches were crawling up my legs and feet, and another one where I was running around with a gun? Wtf is that about?! o_O

My husband got to feel baby boy move from the outside for the first time today 😭 😭 I cried for 20 minutes on Monday because I'd been looking at baby clothes and blankets and they were so cute 😭 😭 and now I'm getting teary again because I just want to meet him!

Congratulations! I’m desperate for mine to be able to feel her wriggle, but she’s so low down under my belly I feel like I’ll be the only one for a while! 🤣

I’m 10 weeks today and suffering from mild bellyache, is this normal during pregnancy, I’m a little worried but not too much as I’ve read it’s normal? Xx

Congratulations! Try not to let it stress you out, lots of skin to skin, cuddles and giving yourself (and her!) time to learn how it all works xxx

I had period like pains for most of my first trimester, I think it’s pretty normal

How weird, I’ve been putting my nightmares down to cheese (mmm 😋) but it’s an actual thing? Was awake at 03:30 for a wee. Fabulous.
