Morning sickness back again at 26 weeks

I suffered with morning sickness all through my first trimester and was relieved when it finally stopped around 14 weeks, but now at 26 weeks I’m getting waves of nausea again. It’s not as bad as it was before but I definitely do not feel great ☹️ has anyone else experienced this? Will it go away?!

I’m the same! Mine went away at about 16 weeks and it seems to have some back again now and I’m 24 weeks ☹️ I find if I eat something in bed in the morning before getting up, I generally feel ‘okay’ but doesn’t solve the problem

I've literally experienced this this morning and was like wtf?! 😂 I'm 24 weeks too. Didnt know it could come back...

I’m the same! My first trimester was horrible with sickness! It slowed down around 16 weeks I’d say but I still feel sicky and am sick to this day and I’m 25 weeks 🙈 xx

I asked my midwife at my appointment yesterday and she said it can come and go at any point right up until the birth 😖her advice was not to let yourself get hungry and to use all the same coping mechanisms from the first trimester eg ginger sweets etc. Thought I’d share here even though I know that’s not hugely helpful! Hope you are all feeling ok this morning

No bump

I am 20 weeks tomorrow and I only have a real small bump! I know some people will be like 'think yourself lucky'. But I just want to look pregnant, I have wished for this for so long!
Still not feeling any movement i dont think just wish I felt pregnant and looked it.

Picture for reference

If you wanted an unmedicated vaginal birth, did you have one?

In my opinion there is such a pressure to have an unmedicated vaginal birth and all social media and midwives are telling you ”your body was made for this” ”try Hypnobirthing” ”just breathe baby out and it’ll be fine” when in reality birth is just not like that. I have so many friends who wanted this ideal pain free dream vaginal birth but all ended up with emergency c sections and felt like they failed/were upset when it went the way it did.

I’ve had two unmedicated vaginal births. First one was extremely traumatic and made me want an elective c section the second time but classic nhs gave me a date that was late and my baby arrived before then so ended up having another unmedicated vaginal birth. Despite the second birth being a textbook ”good” birth I still found it unbelievably painful and in no way empowering and all these other words flying around social media and what my doula used.

Is there too much pressure on women to have this magical unmedicated vaginal birth? And therefore so many mums feel upset when it doesn’t happen? Let’s not forget that c sections are now the most common births in the UK.

This is basically a rant and I’m just interested to hear people’s opinions. No right or wrong all women are amazing however they birthed their babies!

Nursery essentials

My LG is due to start nursery in 3 weeks and was wondering what essentials I will need. She hasn’t had her settling in yet due to it being closed for half term.
What do you mamas pack in the nursery bag.
She take a dummy for sleep and I know I’ll need to pack 2 due to her needed the comfort in the beginning.

Tips on dealing with episiotomy pain?

I'm 4 days pp and I can't sleep from the pain of the wound. I'm exhausted and just want to sleep! I've taken paracetamol and ibuprofen but as I'm breastfeeding I can't take anything else. I'm using ice packs but if I'm in any position other than sat up with my legs spread (heels to bum knees spread) then I'm crying in pain. What can i do. I really need to sleep. Thanks

Period after c-section

Hi! I just got my first period since my c-section and I’m not sure how it’s gonna be. Any advice?

Exhausted

I’m 9 weeks and 5 days and I am exhausted a lot of the time, I usually don’t try to take naps bc when I do I literally cannot sleep to the point I will cry from frustration. Today I am literally SOOOOOOO tired so I attempted to take a nap. Turned in my fan as usual and put on my sleeping mask. I have been tossing and turning for 2-3 hrs and have been unable to sleep although I’m really tired and now I just want to cry bc I’m so frustrated that no matter what I cannot sleep unless it’s bed time. Does any one else suffer with this ? It’s sooo overwhelming and I’m literally sick of it
