My stomach is in agony.

I’ve had the same tonight, just going to see how I feel tomorrow. Sometimes rich food can unsettle my stomach! Normally I’m constipated so I’m just glad in a way it’s diarrhoea. See how you feel in an hour if it gets worse I’d phone back xx

Iv had this for the past 2/3 weeks and was told it could be a tummy bug but other than being tired I don't feel ill. Have seen a few other people say its normal and your body clearing itself out for labour so hoping that's the case. Xx

I feel the same. I'm 37 weeks tomorrow. I've had a bad stomach for the past few weeks and nausea again. I definitely had to go to the toilet loads the past few days. X

@Brigitte same! I'm 38+3 and so fed up with constantly being stuck to the Bog so I completely understand my first lot of diarrhea scared the life out of me as never had anything like it before! Really think the midwives should tell people that it can also be normal at this stage of pregnancy as I felt a bit fobbed off by my practise.

omg it’s the worst my husband was like it can’t be that bad and I said it’s like nothing I’ve ever had in my life. The midwife I spoke to didn’t even say it was a pregnancy/labour symptom she just said I have a bug. I can’t have this for the next few weeks it’s horrendous!

@Brigitte At this point I'm surprised I have anything left to pass! (Sorry for the tmi 😅) that and the gas is ridiculous!!

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??

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!
