Food aversions

Is it just me or has anyone else gone off certain foods but also go to eat what you have made and still not feel happy or fulfilled. 🥺 I just wanna eat something that I will enjoy! So frustrating! 💜

Yesss this 100% happening to me too!

Yes! I hate everything except mashed potatoes and baked beans…everything else makes me sick and gives me heartburn

it’s the worst isn’t it! 💜

Me too x

I’ve really gone off jacket potato!! 😅😅😅 I crave stuff then I don’t want it whilst I’m eating 🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️💜

😭 such a pain in the arse isn’t it! I was craving a banana milkshake from McDonald’s yesterday and the machine was “broken” 😭 such a struggle! Hope this ends soon!

Yes! Cannot wait to enjoy food again 😅

I hope so too! Just want it to end! Wanna crave more stuff and acc enjoy food! I’ve always been a massive eater and now I don’t even really fancy anything! 💜xxx

me neither!! Needs to hurry!! Xxxxx

I made a roast today for the other half even tho I’ve been suffering with nausea all day for the last few weeks. Few bites in I was done. I just can’t find anything that feels ‘safe’ to just eat through apart from toast

I couldn’t agree more! I’m obsessed with toast at the minute so I feel you there but how gutting with your roast! I love roasts I do! They are just the best 💜but I can see what you mean xxxx

Yes! I've gone veggie, the idea of meat is 🤢 and I also struggle to cook anything hot. Luckily hubby is stepping it up and cooking veggie meals and doesn't get offended when I just pick at what does and doesn't hit the spot.

I posted this exact same thing yesterday - just really don’t know what I fancy, and everyone keeps asking me, and I just don’t know!! 😂😂🤦🏼‍♀️

Yes! I keep dreaming of delicious foods! When it comes to actually eating them I can’t though! Had a mad crazy desire for peppermint ice lollies (which don’t exist) mainly just eating 6883 pieces of toast a day.

😂😂😂 best message I’ve read all day!

Yesss. Also I am never happily full. I'm either still ravenous or feel sick. Or sometimes a mixture of them both!! 😭

can we have these? I was told on my midwife appointment to avoid McDonald’s milkshakes and McFlurrys as they aren’t pasteurised! But they are my all time guilty pleasure !!😂

oh really? That’s a surprise! Might have to look into that! 😅

just googled it all maccies dairy products are pasteurised 😅🙌🏽

I’m also only able to eat mashed potato! Twins! 😂

Pregnant with baby 2

Hi everyone! I gave birth via emergency c section 9 months ago as my baby boy was measuring big, he pooped inside so there was risk of him inhaling it and I wasn’t progressing past 3cm to have a natural birth and now I’m currently 20 weeks pregnant with my 2nd baby. I’m having a consultation on Tuesday to talk about birth options and to have any questions answered but I don’t know what to ask. I feel like it would be safer having a c section again but at the same time I don’t want a c section. Does anyone have any question ideas I could ask or any advice/stories of similar situations. Tia

I have a feeling like I might get attacked from this but I’m going to say it anyways. incognito 🥸 GLP1s being mainstream for regular people who are NOT diabetic or morbidly obese is bad for so many reasons 💉💉💉

Side affects, long term dependency, supply shortages and costs, regaining the weight back as soon as you get off them.. all that ASIDE how do people not see just from a zoomed out perspective how crazy it is. I can’t imagine being someone facing food insecurity in an underdeveloped country and watching westerners give themselves daily jabs so they can lose weight while still eating a calorie surplus/ crappy foods. It’s giving hunger games when district 12 Katniss finds out at the party at the capital that people eat and then take a pill to make themselves sick so they can 🤮 and eat some more. These ads running ozempic everywhere are disgusting, and then getting amazing athletes like Serena Williams to push them talking bout “i’ve never been healthier” girl you were an OLYMPIC athlete wym??

Planned c section

Has anyone had a planned c section and been home the same day?

Getting pregnant after c section

When did you get pregnant again after a c section? Our plan was always to have 2 under 2 but that is now out the window because I had an emergency section. I know they say 18 months and we will be sticking to it (as much as I don’t want to) but I’m curious how quickly you got pregnant after your section?

Movements

I’m 28 weeks tomorrow. Yesterday I had loads and loads of movements but today I have only felt small flutters and a couple of kicks throughout the day. I get so confused as some people say they don’t have a pattern but others say they do. We have a Doppler so used it this evening and could hear the heartbeat and then moving but does anyone else get quieter days of movement than others? I am seeing my midwife tomorrow so will check but just find myself getting anxious about it and don’t know when to get checked. I know they encourage it but last time as soon as I got to triage baby started moving loads!

Tips for babies with wind issues

My 5 week old has always had issues bringing up all his wind. When he’s laying on his back, he’s always grunting in pain to the point he cries and wakes himself up.

Spoke with a qualified physio who’s also qualified in baby massage and she said try concentric circles on baby. Small circles with a little pressure on their right (your left when facing you) from the bottom of their tummy up to their ribs and then going to the other side and doing the same. Then do the usual leg exercises with them (bicycle kicks, air squats, rotating them side to side etc)

I’ve also found this really helps doing it on my LBs back. I either use my thumb or two fingers when he’s up against me. I do both sides from bottom to top in small circles. He moves around and makes the grunting noises when I first do it but burps come out and after about 4/5 times he stops moving around or grunting at all and it’s meant he’s actually slept on his back and not had to cosleep!
