I really feel for you! I was a migraine sufferer pre pregnancy and they got worse at the start of the second trimester. I tried drinking coffee or full large coke - caffeine can sometimes ease migraines but just make sure you're drinking less than 200mg caffeine a day. Tbh nothing really helped when I had an attack but to prevent them I tried limiting screen time, taking regular breaks from my screen in work, going for walks outside and getting fresh air. Hope yours ease off soon.
Feeling sorry for myself today, PGP/SPD has fully kicked in and I’m totally useless. I’ve still got 7 weeks til due date! What will I do til then? Did anyone else experience this and have it come and go, or is it a permanent fixture for me now?
I’ve bought a belly band and have researched stretches to do, etc. But feeling lots of pain

I feel you! I have good days and bad days, some days are not so bad and I can get about doing my normal things, other days I am close to screaming in painFeeling sorry for myself today, PGP/SPD has fully kicked in and I’m totally useless.

ask your midwife to urgently refer you to physio if you haven’t already, they gave me some exercises to do (which I didn’t find very useful) but also gave me crutches (they ease the pain so much but I feel silly using them in public so just use them in the house
) and a tube bandage for my bump which takes a lot of pressure off my hips. I had the physio appointment at 32 weeks
Tell you what pregnancy constipation is something else I can’t cope 
TMI but I was like clockwork before getting pregnant going on day three now it’s driving me mad

sorry to hear you’re suffering. I was referred to physio before as I’ve had hip issues in the past but til that point hadn’t had much pain, and also find physios a bit useless (no offence to anyone but I can google which exercises I should do!) but I will definitely ask my midwife. It’s crazy that there’s not much anyone can do and you just have to ride it out!Section rates are only so high because of interventions which increase the risk of your birth ending in one - Induction, epidural, dermorphine, restricted movement etc, even sweeps. declining such interventions reduces your chances of having a section massively.
I totally get how you feel, I thought it would be a wasted journey but I’m glad I went as the items they gave out have been helpful. If not, try and buy some ‘tubigrip’ for your stomach. I didn’t know they did them that big but I’ve since heard they’re good for helping everything go back into place once baby is born too so worth a try either wayThanks
I’ve been anxious about this and last week at 33 weeks pregnant I told my husband I’d made a decision about birthing, that I don’t want to do it. Not vaginal and not a c-section but I also don’t want my baby to stay in either cause I’m uncomfortableHi everyone, I’m about 8 weeks pregnant and made the mistake of reading someone’s birth experience online… Suffice to say, it has absolutely terrified me. I know I’m very early on but I’m a big worrier and all I can think about now is tearing
Could someone please reassure me that everything’s going to be ok
I’ve personally found positive birthing stories as unhelpful as negative/traumatic ones because ultimately my body and baby is going to be different to everyone else’s and there’s no way of knowing how it’s going to go. I’ve found my anxiety around it has come and gone in waves, I’m now at the point I’m just excited to have our baby here with us and I’m choosing to not think too much about the birthing process at the moment. However, we are doing antenatal classes soon so I know I will have to think about it again and I’m going to have to make decisionsbut I’m choosing to focus on the end result for now.
I’m very much a knowledge is power person so I like to know about my options and what the consequences could be, different terminology etc, certain things to expect and equally I’m an overpreparer so I will definitely be taking too much stuff to the hospital but it makes me feel better!
Definitely don’t listen to too many birth stories (unless you’re someone that likes to/finds it helpful), just do research/go to classes to learn about what could happen, what to expect, what your choices are!
Eat fresh pears they work a treat.. promise xTell you what pregnancy constipation is something else I can’t cope
Firstly, I'm glad I found this thread as I really wanna moan to other preggos about how bloody hard it is being 37 weeks pregnant with a 23 month old 
Constantly feeling like a tit mum when I only take her out once a day, we usually walk over to the beach in a morning then have a gentle at home arvo playing and watching films but I'm trying to not let mum guilt get me as we are having cuddles and she seems happy but I'm so tired haha
Also, has anyone on here been offered the new RSV vaccine? I'm booked in for it next Friday. I can see positives as it claims a reduction of brocilitis by 70% in the first 6 months but just curious on other views?
Always a bit risky asking about vaccines isnt it my daughter had all hers and ive had whooping cough one etc

Induction is booked. Very nervous!
I didn’t opt for any of these things and still had an emergency c section. So it’s just something to be mindful of for those preparing for birth. I agree intervention can typically just lead to more intervention though, so you need to gain some knowledge to make the best decisions for you 🫶
I would really recommend the BRAIN acronym (benefits, risks, alternatives, intuition, (do) nothing), for labour too - admittedly my partner had to use it and ask as I was out of it and not really chatty but it’s helpful for making informed decisions. Like others have said it’s very helpful to be informed so you know what you’re saying yes/no to.
Just parking myself here. I have a 15 month old who took multiple years and several fertility investigations and treatments to conceive, so you can imagine my shock when we found out we’re pregnant again on the first month of trying!
I’m absolutely thrilled, but did have a HG pregnancy last time so a little anxious about that. Although with my son, I’d already started being sick before I even got the positive test, and I haven’t been/felt sick yet and I found out two days ago. Although it’s scary not having symptoms!

This is true but I’d still say there are circumstances where they are the best option for mum and/or baby. You have to do what’s best for your mental health too. So long as you decide for yourself and know you have options. Again it’s about understanding risks vs rewards and making informed decisions.
My body didn’t do what it was “supposed” to do. I had my breech baby turned, the risk was preferable to me over a planned CS or vaginal breech birth. I eventually had an induction after waters went but labour didn’t start, the induction felt safer than the risk of infection…. and so on at every step. So you could say the turning or Induction resulted in the c-section but to not turn/induce could have been dangerous. It wasn’t ideal but I don’t regret any of it.
I felt much better going into my second birth knowing my body might not play ball but that there are always options 🤍
How many newborn Vs 0-3 month clothes are you buying? I've mainly been buying 0-3 months but now starting to get some newborn, but it feels like a waste to get lots of they won't last long.
I also want to buy some nice Christmas babygrows but not sure what size to go for. If the baby's late it could be in newborn, but if it comes nearer the 1st it might have moved up a size or just be a bigger baby.

I went into triage last night for the first time. I usually have a very active baby but yesterday I only had 2 movements at 9.30am/4pm. I went to bed and was just stressing that something is wrong but arguing with myself stop being silly it’s all fine. So I called triage who told me to go in for monitoring.
By 1am baby was moving about and kicking and made me feel a bit daft. The midwives on shift were all so lovely and the advice was to come back again for the same situation in the future.
but I just feel so silly anyway, it put mine and my other half mind at rest as I could tell he was getting really anxious. We also go to see where the hospital was also as we’ve never actually had to visit before
I think I’ve got a little cheeky monkey brewing

Mine’s next too. The trial they did was very successful so I have no issues getting the jab. RSV is not fun with a newborn and we have a toddler in nursery too. Getting my flu jab the week after.Firstly, I'm glad I found this thread as I really wanna moan to other preggos about how bloody hard it is being 37 weeks pregnant with a 23 month old
