My back and hips💀

I have a 11 month old that still needs rocking and loving every few hours at night plus pregnant with my 3rd. My hips… and lower back are on fire almost all night I flip and toss nothing helps. I’ve started physical therapy to help some but honestly remembering to do the exercises each day is a lot with the baby and my 5 year old. Can you lay on your hips without crying? 😭

You’re definitely not far into pregnancy but when I was in my third trimester my hips were torture😭 I could never get comfortable and I had all the pillows to prop me up but nothing! It sadly only stopped when he popped out😂

Daily stretches and or when the pain wakes me up at night. I woke up with round ligament pain on the side I was not sleeping and doing knee to chest helped me and also relieved my hips which were also sore. For my back I haven’t find a remedy, besides massages from hubby, but that doesn’t last long. I might start using my tens machine for that pain cuz back kills me all day and night.

this started for me when I was 15-16 weeks also. And it’s still going. Also having sciatica. Just called my primary to refer me to physical therapy and having my partner stretch me in the meantime, so you’re not alone. Good luck, mama. We’re gonna need it 😅

18w gender scan

Has anyone had a gender scan where the sonographer was about as confident as they could be about baby's gender, then found out it was wrong later? We had a private scan today at 18+1 and we're over the moon but part of me is just scared we will have our anomaly scan in a couple of weeks and be told otherwise!! Sonographer today did seem very confident but I am just anxious 😅

Mucus plug

I began to lose pieces of my mucus plug yesterday. Today I’m pretty sure the whole thing came out. I’m a bit worried as I’m only 37 weeks.

How soon did you go into labor after losing your mucus plug?
