Used to get them soooo badly, they’ve disappeared the last few weeks of pregnancy though for me weirdly. Massage the bit where it goes hard and it will make it disappear! I got to the point where I would wake up AS it was going hard and cramping and be able to stop it before it actually started by doing this
Didn’t even think of wearing my belt over my trousers! That makes complete sense
How do you find the bundles? I could end up spending as much on the postage
I was influenced and bought a Bellamoon and I do love it but I doubt it's any better than the others on the market...or a bog standard firm pillow for that matter. Luckily I can use it as a feeding pillow / tummy time aid so that's how I justify it to myself 🫠
Anyone else experience the same?
is that where they screen for down syndrome etc?
Oh that’s literally the complete opposite of here, it’s weird how different it is! I think it’s completely fair enough and I’m sure if you explain your reasoning they’ll be fine with it. Worst case offer to pop to their clinic once in a blue moon - literally, we had a 14 day appointment, a 7 month appointment, a 14 month appointment and a 27 month appointment. I did see them more but that’s because they w re quite helpful! Routinely there’s minimal appointments so you shouldn’t even have to go to the clinic that oftrnMy midwives don't do home visits - the health visitor is definitely at home. I get why they do home visits but the thought makes me just incredibly anxious so I'd rather they just buggered off. My current plan is to just do the first one and then sack them off or see them in their clinic if I really can't sack them off.
The anxiety I'd feel from having them in my house will far outweigh anything they can offer me to be honestI really don't like my space invaded. The reviews of my local health visitors (from women I know who have had babies) are far, far from glowing or being remotely positive. Just apprehensive at the whole thing, especially an antenatal visit. Feels pointless.
I've been absolutely fine up until this week so it's a bit of a shock to the system
I tried a bath last week but couldn't get comfy, I think I need one of those bath pillows haha. I'm going to try again tonight. I think I need to try an ice pack as well. The ribs are just aching but the shoulder is sharp pain and a dull ache. Paracetamol has just muted the pain a bit but it's not fully gone if that makes sense.That's what's happening to me in the nights, it's horrific. I really feel for the ladies with HG, I don't know how they do it. I'll definitely ring the doctor Monday, thank you everyoneGet a prescription for Omeprazole ASAP it’s life changing to your quality of life with bad reflux. Wish I got it sooner, I just copied on rennies and gaviscon constantly uncomfortable until I was in the third tri and kept choking on my acidy sick in the nightthen I was like whyyyyy did I not get this when I was 10 weeks when I went on omeprazole
I was consultant led for my first because of my age and because I have Crohn's. Definitely struggling this time round and just feels like no-one is listening to me. I rang the GP re the aspirin and they said I could submit the prescription online. Tried that and my surgery doesn't accept online applications, only printed forms
Have the form to drop in Monday as fortunately my husband went to his office this afternoon and will see if I can get a telephone consultant about the pains.I only craved orange squash with my first, nothing yet for my second currently 14+1
Yes I'd pronounce it how you have! I think it's similar in sound but definitely distinct from Emily.
I wish I could get one! In Aus too but even though my ferritin is on the floor, my haemoglobin is ok so I’m not anaemic. My ob doesn’t want me to get one while pregnant as I haven’t had one before ahd there’s a risk of anaphylaxis.Honestly get an iron transfusion if you can! I’m in australia now so not sure how easy they are to get in the UK (and I paid a fair bit for it too
Did you do yours this morning with Susan?
