Anyone else feeling absolutely crippled?!

Hi all,

I’ve just recently joined!
Currently 17 weeks and I’ve noticed in the past couple of weeks, my lower pelvic area is so painful.
If I’m laying down, getting out of bed has started to be painful & uncomfortable.
I’m absolutely exhausted and use to be a avid gym goer before pregnancy.. now I can’t even muster the energy to even think about going.

This is my 3rd pregnancy and never to this extent felt like this with the previous ones.

Anyone else having the same aches and pains?
I’m 38 and don’t want to accept it’s my age 😭😭

I get the same. Its horrible and makes even getting out of bed hard at times

I could have written this exact post. Our third baby is due in December. I feel like my body is falling apart 😩

Hey! It may be worth speaking to your midwife to see if you have pgp (pelvic girdle pain) I got this during my pregnancy and found it really painful on my pelvis and lower back to walk, lift my leg in and out of the car and sometimes bend. I was referred to a physiotherapist who gave me a support belt (which really helped me!- although it doesn’t for everyone) it’s definitely worth the conversation to see if it is pgp and what you can do to help the pain ☺️ I hope you get ease soon!

18+4 and have woken up today with awful pain in my pelvis, running down to my knees. I’ve had it on and off since since 17. Another fun symptom 🙃😂

Yes! I am the same. It’s like I have to be rolled out 🤦🏻‍♀️

Exactly this! I am waiting for this pregnancy glow but all I’m feeling is like you, my body is falling into pieces 🤦🏻‍♀️

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!
