Swollen feet

Until now I haven’t struggled with this at all but the last few days with the heat I’ve been struggling with swollen feet and ankles. Has anyone else been suffering? What’s the best way to get the swelling to go down?

Compression socks help a bit. I also just got bigger sandals

Same I have swollen ankles and feet and it was a little painful when I moved them 🤦🏻‍♀️ but saying that I think they should go down pretty quick and we have one more day of this dreaded heat 🤦🏻‍♀️😂

My hands and feet have felt a little swollen in this heat! I had take my wedding ring off yesterday! Seems gone down now though.
If the swelling doesn't budge call your midwife though just to get checked as can be a sign of pre eclampsia

I check my BP often and it’s always on the low side rather than high. I know some swelling is normal in pregnancy was just wondering if the heat is likely to make it worse!

I think does I'd cooled down and got my rings on this morning.. they are off again now 😂🫣 looking forward to a cooler week!

Is this normal?

Is this little red bit on my section scar normal? It’s not oozing anything, doesn’t hurt but it’s the only bit on my scar like it so just curious! (19 days PP)
Thank you in advance! 🥰

Anyone else felt like this?

Hi, I’m 4 months postpartum, little one sleeps through the night and is formula fed, the last week I’ve felt extremely tired and very hungry! Just wondered if anyone else has felt this way/experienced this?

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

32 weeks

32 week growth scan and clinic appointment. Did anything unusual happen? Ive heard a few people saying 32 weeks was when they had a induction date

Hey what are your current symptoms?

I’m 37+5

I’m pretty mobile still but anything over a hour or 2 and I’m in discomfort

Getting up from a sitting position is hard

Some of baby’s movements now are bordering on painful especially around my crotch/pelvis

I’m exhausted very easily and nap every single day

Can basically only breathe out my mouth now and I’m snoring and dribbling 😂

Standing in one leg is very painful 😂

Some waves of pain/ tightening but I regular and mild

Low period type aches

And I feel like a fire breathing dragon with this acid reflux

My nose is growing 😂

My fingers swell slightly and go numbs in my sleep so that and constant toilet breaks keep me up ( checked swelling with MW and consultant and all normal, not a worry)

I also do not want to be social in person like I’d rather everyone just be my penpal atm lol

What are your symptoms?
