Can’t lay down.

This baby is causing me so many problems. She’s pressing into things causing my hips to hurt and it causing tingling and nerve pain into my legs. I can’t even lay down at this point. Sitting and standing are the only comfortable options

Beginners or prenatal yoga on YouTube, weekly chiropractic, Nancy Anderson pelvic fitness exercises online program, weekly acupuncture, warm/hot Epsom salt bath, increase daily hydration, Calm magnesium supplement, sit with hips higher than knees and only side sleep with a pillow between knees AND ankles.

Hope this finds you some relief, there definitely doesn’t have to be tingling and nerve pain involved in pregnancy…sounds like muscle tissues and connective tissues are very very tight and wound up! Yowch!

Hope you have a chance to try some of these methods, a few times each at least or weekly, you can do this! 🙌🏽💪🏽

Does that include laying on your sides and all that? Have you tried pregnancy pillows and support when you lay down

yea. My sides are what trigger all the pain and tingling. 😭

I did some stretches and used a muscle roller to massage and it got me through the night 😅. I’m gonna try your suggestions asap!

Day out after c section

Hey,
I had an emergency c section 1 week ago I obviously don't want a day out right now but I have things booked for the Easter holidays so in 2 weeks. I was just wondering if I will be overdoing it if I have a day out then or will I be ok? I would still take it as easy as I could. When did everyone feel good enough to go out?

Period like cramps

Hi
I’m currently 33 weeks pregnant and I keep getting period like cramps I thought these were Brixton hicks but I’ve heard they only last 30 seconds ish as this can go on for a good time frame then go away and come back, they aren’t bad enough where I can’t do basic things they just feel like I’m about to get my period I’m jus wondering how normal this is? Baby is still very actively kicking xx

C section or natural?

I am a control freak and thinking c section is the least stressful route for me and baby… less complications during labour etc. whilst acknowledging recovering can be hard.
If it could be guaranteed no tearing or complications then I would opt for natural and kind of want to experience the feeling.
Then again could plan and go either way 😂 arghh!
Anyone else in this predicament?

Midwife check

Can someone remind me when the midwife visits you at home? Is it the day after you’re discharged? And is that the same on the weekend or do they not visit then? Thanks!
