Sorry to hear your not feeling well. This time of year has such high expectations and is a roller-coaster of emotions at the best of times no mind when you have a new baby to care for.I’m three weeks into parenthood so still raw but honestly, enjoy it. I’ve just written a post on the new baby thread about this but I’m really missing my old life and especially it just being us. I thought we had one more Christmas together but little guy came early.
I get this, I’m too ill to enjoy any of the food and constant pressures, and too tired to enjoy visiting. Just crawling through the days trying not to be sick and stay active on the toilet currently 🥲Any orher first time pregnant mom's wishing away ChristmasI just want to celebrate with my baby and hubby next year instead I'm wishing this one away. I know a lot of people are like enjoy the last as a twosome etc but I've had 9 Christmas with him I'm OK

I had no side effects when I took mine, I was on them my whole pregnancyAnyone got any tips on how to naturally increase iron levels?
My 28 week bloods have came back and I’m borderline anaemic. They’ve prescribed iron tablets for it but I have to pick them up from the hospital and I don’t drive so won’t be able to get them until after Christmas now
Bit hesitant to take them as well as I don’t want the stomach issue side effects![]()

Yes this 10000%Is anybody else struggling with their partner?
I love him lots but I feel like I have to keep reminding him of just how exhausting pregnancy is… we are not currently equals, and I really need him to do a bit more right now.
And he does this irritating thing where he says “me too” whenever I tell him how tired I am. Yes ok mate!!! I’m sure you’re tired but it’s not 7 months pregnant level. Why are some of them like this? It’s really annoying me.
I’m the same! Just trying to survive at the moment. Luckily I’ve told family so at least I don’t have to hide it but want to enjoy my last Christmas but can’t wait til next year when I’m not feeling like rubbish!I get this, I’m too ill to enjoy any of the food and constant pressures, and too tired to enjoy visiting.

This is one of my biggest peeves. I still get up in the night with our toddler who has a milk most nights too, and he mostly sleeps in the spare room, and yet he reckons he’s just as tired as me. Pull the other one.Is anybody else struggling with their partner?

Men have no clueI love my partner to bits but he referred to my mat leave as holiday the other day. I corrected him pretty quickly and he apologised but I was a bit astounded tbh.
I think they all have a condition called word vomit.. I'm constantly correcting him as the tit he comes out with would wreck your headMen have no clueI remember when I was off with my first my fella came home and said ‘you’ve just been at home doing nothing all day with the baby’ yes… nothing
