Aching hips from sleeping on my side constantly!

Hi ladies, I’m really waking up with awful awking hips from sleeping on just them. Whenever I wake up on my back in the night i don’t panic and just turn to my side but ouch they are sore!

I’m 21 weeks now so have only been doing this for just over a week but hell it hurts! Does anyone have any tips for releasing hip pains?

I must say I am quite narrow down there! Never had child baring hips and walking with a heavy prosthetic leg probably adds to the pain. But if there is anything anyone can suggest to help I’d be very grateful!

(Currently sat on the floor stretching them sideways to release tension)

I'm also in so much pain 😫

Bless you, it’s horrible isn’t it. Especially on days when I’m working on my feet! Ouch! Not as bad when I can relax and stretch but hell on those other days it’s killer!

A pillow between your legs, and one below your bump/behind your back! Only thing helping me

Hi love, feel you! I’m looking for the pregnancy pillows on Amazon. I saw some that are not too expensive, might help x

@CeeCee this is what helps me too! I've put them under my fitted bedsheet so they don't move. Saves money on buying an actual pregnancy pillow too 😂.

Such a good idea!! I use a normal pillow between my knees and then I have two of the small pregnancy wedges for each side but I have to move them when I roll over lol my husbands side of the bed is getting smaller and smaller 😂

The pain can be so unbearable 😫, I had a very serious pain on my both sides with my first .with this pregnancy not really but I will say turn your mattress over atleast once in 2 week and put pillow in between your legs,that's how am coping with the pain now

@thabita I second turning your mattress over aswell. It really helps too

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!

Clogged ducts, eye gunk

Little Theo has been having really gunky eyes, we’ve taken him to the doctor and the a and e and they’ve said it’s most likely a clogged duct, anyone else’s baby have this and was there anything to do about it? I feel horrible constantly wiping his eye xx
