I cried in Tesco once when they’d ran out of spaghetti and sausagesI cried the other day because I couldn’t open a jar of jam
I think my biggest pregnancy meltdown so far was in Tesco too. Because I couldn’t find anything I wanted to eatI cried in Tesco once when they’d ran out of spaghetti and sausages
My app order timed out at 11am because it wouldn’t accept I was at the location once, I was absilutky raging. You better believe I still got my sausage and egg McMuffin…I wasn’t even pregnant at the timeThey cancelled my Mcdonald’s breakfast Justeat today, 45 minutes after I ordered it because they’d gone past 11. That went past tears, just pure fucking anger
I’m having my second redbull of the pregnancy at 11:48… and wow it hits differently. It’s basically cocaine. I feel guilty as HELL it’s definitely my last one because wow it’s just heaven. And why I chose 12am, I don’t know. RIP sleep
Thank you, you know I think just having written it down makes me realise it’s silly to come off them considering my last pregnancy. There was a prescribing error so I didn’t have them for 2 weeks (not an ideal was to stop) and I thought ‘they’re not wonderful for pregnancy, not sure I need them, so might as well keep going’ which the midwife OK’d but also said it’s a risk/reward job. I’m realising that not taking them likely risks upsetting everyone around me with my moods, self doubt and anxiety and going into a new baby with poor MH which is arguably worse than the unlikely risks they can have on baby. And if I don’t feel any better taking them, at least I’ll know.Oh god McDonald’s!! When I was about 10 weeks I’d just been discharged from hospital after spending hours on drips and having injections for my hyperemesis and for the first time in weeks I was actually hungry and not throwing up and all I wanted was a McDonald’s vanilla milkshake. Ordered on the app, parked up in click and serve and 20 mins later some poor young girl came out and said the machine had stopped working and “you might be able to get a refund”. Well the disappointment over not getting my milkshake but the rage over her arguing with me that I only MIGHT be able to get a refund when they weren’t supplying the one thing I’d ordered took over and I flipped and stormed inside. Full on pregnancy rage, shouting in the middle of the shop while the confused manager stood there like of course you can have a refund I don’t understand why you’re so upset??🫣 got my refund and made Mr R drive 25 mins to a McDonald’s that had the milkshake machine working, got my milkshake and threw it up before we even made it back home
@littlepup i don’t have any experience of it during pregnancy but is it worth a chat with your midwife on Monday and being referred to the prenatal mental health team to see if they have any advice? It may just be hormones or could be that you need to go back on your meds? I imagine it’s a lot for your mental health to come off your meds even low dose ones and have pregnancy hormones in full swing. I remember when I came off antidepressants years ago and I burst in to tears at a sign on the motorway directing new students to the nearby uni because it had sent my emotions so haywire and that was without pregnancy hormones on top. Look after yourself but it may be worth having that chat before it escalates in to prenatal depression if you have struggled before

I had a can of coke at 8pm and baby is still dancing away and I’m wide awake. I think I’d be up til Wednesday after a red bull at this point
Have your school done a risk assessment for you? They should take in to account things like exhaustion/tiredness. Also please don’t worry about taking some time off if you need it (I know teachers are terrible for this!!). Any pregnancy related sickness doesn’t count on your normal sickness and absence record. I took time off in the first trimester just to sleep and try and feel like a normal human - I just felt awful all the time! My mantra has become to put me and my baby first, advocate for yourself because in the school system nobody will suggest you go home for a rest. Hope you feel better soon!I am approx 10-12 weeks with my first pregnancy. We had issues conceiving due to pcos so I am overly cautious and anxious. I am struggling to deal with the overwhelming exhaustion right now. When does it improve!? When does the glow come!?
I am a teacher and have a difficult class with a couple of particularly challenging pupils. I feel so stressed and down about it that it's taking away from the enjoyment I should be feeling about this much longed for pregnancy. It's affecting my sleep, infiltrating my weekends when I try to switch off and I cried on the way to work yesterday. I need my job for maternity pay etc but feel like this can't continue
Just avoid anything with retinol. You shouldn’t take Salicylic acid orally but on the skin seems to be ok so your Vichy should be fine. Some people choose to avoid actives and many people’s skin changes in pregnancy so they need to change products anyway. Just google everything followed by ‘pregnancy’ and there’s tons of info.Hi first time poster here.
Currently 7 weeks pregnant.
Just curious did many of you change your skincare?
At the moment using Vichy Normaderm moisturiser and Pixi glow tonic.
Honestly some people never get the glow and struggle the whole way but for most after the first trimester it gets easier. But,its really important that you don’t punish yourself or feel guilty for not enjoying pregnancy no matter how much it’s wanted. It’s the journey, not the destination. It can be shit, but it’ll be so worth it.I am approx 10-12 weeks with my first pregnancy. We had issues conceiving due to pcos so I am overly cautious and anxious.

No! Good luck xFs. I’m due to be induced today and I’ve woken up with a sore throat and a cough!
Will they cancel it do you think?
