Third Trimester Acne

Hii ! so I’m currently 32 weeks pregnant, and my acne has gotten the worse it’s been since middle school. 😂 Has anyone noticed this to be true for them, and what have you been using or doing to keep it at bay? I eat pretty healthy, and limit my sugar intake. My baby shower is coming up in 2 weeks and I feel so insecure about it. 😭 #help

Bump

Feel like I’m about to explode, the exponential rate I’ve grown at is next level. You know it’s bad when people stop asking you when you’re due and start asking how long have you got left. Second pregnancies are HARD….im done.

Complete placenta previa

Hi , im currently 25w1d . Ive had 2 natural births prior from this pregnancy. I was told after getting my second anatomy scan , that i have complete placenta previa and i would have to do a planned c section around 36 weeks. All ive been doing is research and im not so sure it’s the best idea. Im terrified . For the surgery/recovery. Etc. i just really wanted to know if anyone had any advice on the preparation and process . And what i should really look into as this being my first c section.

32 weeks coming up!

Hey ladies! How are you all feeling? Have you started preparing for delivery yet? Did you get a diaper bag? I feel like am very behind because I haven’t got anything for myself post delivery yet. I’ve been receiving gifts from friends and family for the baby but I havent thought about my post delivery care and essentials!

Also, how are we feeling mentally? Am still working full time but it’s really starting to get uncomfortable being stuck in DC traffic and working for long hours. I’ve been very irritable and having mood swings🤦🏻‍♀️

episiotomy question, anyone who’s had one please?

Ladies who have had a episiotomy how long till you have sex after birth I’m guessing safest option is defo 6 weeks like the usual ? And when did you first shave? Cos it’s killing me not doing both 🤣🤣😭but I don’t want to risk anything so prob best to wait right?
