Think its the heat as well!

Yes! They’re looking massive 🙈

Yes, also a teacher, my ankles are huge today. I'm 19 weeks

Yessss 🥲 it’s the heat

Rest them higher than your heart, like if you’re lying down, put your ankles on the arm of a sofa. Helps me loads x

I was swollen last night, it was awful x

I've been using the Expert Midwife coolong spray and it's on offer atm (highly recommend)

Yep - I’m 23 weeks and usually have really bony narrow ankles and feet and struggle to find footwear that stays on so I actually cannot fit into any of my shoes except my sliders (which stuck to my feet yesterday as my feet grew bigger than they are) 🤣

I’m 22 weeks and also a teacher and my feet and ankles have been huge the last three days!

Small head reported following 20 week scan

Has anyone else had it flagged that their baby is in the bottom 5th percentile for head size?

They said everything was fine whilst we were in the scan and then I got a phone call the next day saying that it’s on the small side and we’re being referred to a paediatric specialist at St George’s. Has anyone else had this and how did things go??

Would you bring 9 week old to a family party of 35+ people?

These are also people who will want to pass the baby around and get a turn to hold him. He just got his 2 month shots two days ago

Exercise 6 weeks after c section

What movement did people start to introduce? I won’t do anything too vigorous until I’ve seen the pelvic physio as I don’t want to compromise anything that may have been extremely weakened through pregnancy! But just wondering what types of classes/movement people started off with?

Is this normal??

I’m 29 weeks pregnant and having really aching legs and they’re all lumpy and swollen. Above the knee and behind the knee . Should I be worried ? My legs have never looked like this up until a few days ago. ??
