Shoulder and neck pain

I’ve been suffering with neck and shoulder pain for a few weeks now but it’s worse than ever today. It’s more like a dull constant ache than actual pain but it’s making me not want to get out of bed. Sitting up is even too much. Is anyone else experiencing similar or got any advice?

My shoulders and top of my back have been in so much pain, I think because I’m hunched over my desk all the time. Had a pregnancy massage yesterday and for the first time I finally feel relaxed and not tense. Is this something you could look into?

I had a massage 2 weeks ago but she mainly concentrated on the bottom of my back as I also suffer sciatica. But it did relieve the pain for a good few days so I think I’ll book another one and ask her to do my shoulders and neck, thank you x

Might be due to our changing posture. I have a magnesium spray which helps

ohh I’ll have a look into that! Thank you

I'm permanently attached to my TENS machine. It's honestly been a blessing for all the aches and pains. 😊

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?

Invited to a chuckie cheese party but I don't have money and don't want to tell my daughter that's why we can't go. Does anyone know how their parties work?

I'm not sure how chuckie cheese parties are. If they give you money to play or not if you're in the party. And then I'm wondering if it's an actual birthday party or if they're just going to chuckie cheese. Some guy in my building told me a couple weeks ago that his son's birthday is today and he's thinking of doing chuckie cheese. They sent an invite but I feel so insecure not being able to afford anything. Like if they don't have food for example. Idk what to do.

20week scan!!

i had my 20week scan yesterday, everything looked okay on baby and we found out the gender!! it’s a girl 🩷🩷. but they said that my placenta is too close to my pelvis and they need to do extra scans to check on it? has anyone else been told this?

Reduced Movements

Has anyone else gone in for monitoring for reduced movements and as soon as you arrive at triage the baby starts moving and the CTG is normal? It makes me feel like I am over reacting.

2nd pregnancy after c section

I’m not planning on getting pregnant anytime soon but in the future possibly. I just wanted to know how is pregnancy after c section like my fear is having to go through another emergency operation or even putting strain on my incision during pregnancy

Newborn stage

Is anyone tired of doing the same thing everyday and being on a 2-3 hour schedule? It’s the same everyday and I feel like I’m losing my mind. It’s making me depressed even if I get out once a day. When does it get better? I feel like I’m just waiting for the next stage where it’s not just sitting around all day.
