Has anyone had exceptionally weird, even non-food cravings, particularly in the third trimester? I always thought cravings came at the start of pregnancy

I had no cravings in first (or second) trimester but last few weeks in third I’ve craved juice like crazy!
Never normally drink it

Has anyone started getting pregnancy headaches or migraines? I felt pretty lucky that I didn't suffer from morning sickness but now in week 10 the last couple of days I've had a relentless migrainey type of headache which makes me feel sick but I can't actually throw up. I used to get migraines in my teens but havent had any for years.

Me! I've had them all the way through. I'm 20 weeks now and get them maybe twice a week. I do have high BP which they've prescribed me aspirin for so I think that has something to do with it. Its worth getting checked out. I used the 4head stick to help with mine. Hope they ease soon

I had some really bad ones near the start. Try 4Head strips and the roll on. I still carry the roll on stick with me when I leave the house as still get the odd one.

I’m not a smoker but I saw someone smoking the other day and had the sudden urge to have a puff (DONT WORRY I WOULDNT!) but what an inappropriate craving 🤦‍♀️

Eek I was hoping they were just a first trimester thing. I actually have slightly low BP and keep feeling faint in the shower too. Thanks for the 4head recommendations, never heard of that before so will check it out!

Oh another strange symptom, my bladder feels so so weird in the morning! I always wake up busting to go (which is normal even not in pregnancy) but now it's almost like a weird ache that I can feel up to my chest. I defo don't have a UTI as my urine was tested v recently. Assuming it's just down to all the internal changes occurring 🤷‍♀️

That's very normal!
The worst thing is being bursting for a pee, sitting down ready to burst and it either takes forever or comes out as the tiniest trickle 😂😂

This is my most hated thing about pregnancy!! The 7 months of sickness, the hateful sciatica meaning I can barely move, they are awful. But the tiny trickle pee annoys the hell out of me!! My favourite thing after birth is going for a nice long, proper, wee 🤣🤣🤣

She turned 🎉 It was nowhere near as bad as I was expecting. Tummy feels a bit tender now, but fingers crossed she doesn’t flip again now.
I'm glad that she turned for you 🤗
I saw someone who's baby was breech saying that that they got their baby to turn by sitting in a hot bath filled just below their belly button then holding an ice pack at the top of their bump. Apparently the baby moves towards the heat and her baby turned head down for her from doing this 😆 I've not had to try it myself so I don't know but I thought I would share incase baby does turn back🤷‍♀️ 💜

I had bleeding after an internal (not much though) but nothing about polyps was mentioned. I was just told it's so sensitive in there that it's not a surprise there was a bit of blood.

Was your red fresh blood?

I have been told there is a polyp there so I’m guessing the internal has irritated it!! It’s been a long horrible day... waiting to hear follow up app and praying the bleeding stops

I had a polyp on my cervix during my first pregnancy, it would bleed after sex or if I’d strained for a 💩 (sorry for the overshare). It didn’t cause any issue really, and I had it removed in a simple procedure when baby was 6 months old. I went to the assessment unit a couple of times during the pregnancy just to check it was that that was bleeding and nothing else.

Thanks for the reply!! When you had bleeding was it fresh red blood?
She seemed confident it the polyp that’s caused the bleeding but Iv just been so worried all day xxx
