At what point did people start to feel uncomfortable? Over 35 weeks now and feeling it🙈

How are you doing? @kayefeluu20
It's been a complete whirlwind/disaster. My obs are fine, heartrate below 100 and temp normal but they wanted to keep me in an extra night for just temperature checks and oral antibiotics? So I asked to speak to a consultant, who said that was ridiculous and we could go home as my infection markers may be high/rising, but I'm not unwell and will be seeing various healthcare professionals all week. Just waiting on meds! Excited for a shower and my own bed - little bean is doing great, I'm glad I harvested so much colostrum as she's a monster 😂

Aw glad you’re both okay, hope you can go home soon! There’s nothing like your own bed
 
They also seem to have this idea that I've had pre-eclampsia? I've had low BP my entire pregnancy 😂 it's all a bit of a shitshow, I'll be glad to be discharged to my midwife and HV.

I’m 34 weeks and thought not uncomfortable all the time, if I’m on my feet for a while walking my hips/pelvis don’t half feel it. A warm bath helps to ease it.
I’m struggling more emotionally at the moment. Since I came out of hospital a couple of weeks ago I’ve been very tearful and generally feeling very overwhelmed and fed up sometimes. I’ve got a lot on as well. With Christmas coming up to still sort out bits for, then a close family members big birthday straight after.m and then baby due in January I just feel completely exhausted in terms of brain power. I’m still working too. Not enjoying things at the moment and everything is a chore

I have finished work but fuse is very short, not sleeping etc but still not ready for baby to arrive if that makes sense! It's a whirlwind of emotions and a very hectic time of year.

Currently feeling very sorry for myself with the cold from hell. Completely bunged up and feel like it’s going to my chest. Been feeling rough since Wednesday and can’t see any sign of feeling better. And been unable to take anything bar paracetamol and lemon, honey, ginger and tumeric hot drinks makes it worse!

I feel you! I’m sick of hot lemon & honey!

It's grim, if anyone even has a hint of a snuffly nose I'm like get away from me 😂😂😂😂

Home from a trip to visit family. If one more person asked if I am having twins, I would have lost my temper and st*bbed them 🤬 On the plus side I haven't heard anything back from my gestational diabetes and iron tests so that's good. Growth scan this week too 💞

That's how I'm feeling towards my MIL at the moment but with touching my bump without asking when she knows how uncomfortable it makes me feel 😬

I'd forgotten about the touching. One of my in laws went to stroke my belly but misjudged the distance and got my boob instead 😬

A family member on my partners side told me I had pre-eclampsia at the weekend because I was itching my bump because it’s stretching. Seriously, what is wrong with people!

I lost it at my shower with a very close friend. She means well but has always been someone who doesn’t understand personal space. She literally had her arm around me stroking my bump like I was the baby being fed. Another time was a woman I’d just met in a pub who asked twice could she. I said no both times and the third time she just went straight in for it

Got the call today that c section is Thursday. Felt like I'd found out I was pregnant again and not sure how to feel. She's going to be here on Thursday 😳 not sure I can be anymore prepared but still hasn't sunk in 😂

After reading this thread, and with relentless vomiting and nausea, I decided to skip my Pregnacare tablet for the last 3 days and I finally feel back to myself with zero vomiting and minimal nausea!!! 🤯🤯

My husband asked a pharmacist and he confirmed it could well have been the supplement causing my sickness and to revert to folic acid & vitamin D. So happy to feel human again 🥲🥲. I am 13.5 weeks.

Hey, I’m currently around 9 weeks pregnant. I’m thinking I want to tell my parents this week as I’m struggling to hide it. I had a scan at 7 weeks at the EPU which was just a blob, I’m thinking of trying to book a private scan just to make sure everything is fine before I say. Do you think it’s overkill ?
 
If you can afford it and it would reassure you then do it, I say (assuming it a private scan) 😊 I had scans at just under 8 and then 10 weeks for reassurance as a previous loss gave me a lot of anxiety in the first trimester. If everything looked good on the scan at 7 weeks your odds are already so much better but if another scan for confirmation at 9 or 10 weeks would help then go for it. If you wait til 10 weeks you’ll see so much more detail which is really cool too. I know the wait to 12 weeks can feel like forever! Xx
