Cravings

So just thought I would put a random post out there. Has anyone had any weird or normal cravings.
I will start. I am addicted to bbq hula hoops. I hated them previously lol also cheese. I was never a cheese person and know can't get enough. Just thought a random post might make light of how some of us are feeling x

I kinda wish I had any cravings, I’m 15+ 4 and I’m still good averse! I can’t stand any meat, milk, cheese, chocolate, I also hate tea and coffee now! all I can eat is mash potatoes and baked beans, carrot and swede mash, and weirdly sweet and sour sauce (from a jar) and rice!

@Angharad bless you, the only things that have really made me sick is the heat and anything ginger related stuff meh. Lol

I'm 14+3 and I've been craving fried spam with rice. Anything with garlic I'll devour and sprouts with gravy just can't get enough of them 🤤. And cups of tea which I wasn't the biggest fan of before pregnancy. The only food aversion I've had is fajita seasoning the smell of it knocks me sick.

I’ve not had any major cravings but I have really gone from being a savoury person to wanting more cakes, chocolate and sweets… whereas I loved a bag of crisps, and crackers were a favourite! 😂😩

I’ve had no food cravings but I really want to eat dove soap, I can’t get enough of it haha I just sit and smell it constantly

I’m cheese and bbq hula hoops too!🤣 and quavers🤷🏻‍♀️😅

@Rhiannon it's mad haha. It's all the thinks I hates previously.

I ate spaghetti coated in HP sauce the other day!! Cravings are so strange. I’ve been craving sour foods or vinegary 😂

I’ve only had an aversion so far and it’s the smell of Prosecco 😂 which I definitely was not averse to before!

@Rebecca that actually sounds nice lol 😆

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!

Tips for babies with wind issues

My 5 week old has always had issues bringing up all his wind. When he’s laying on his back, he’s always grunting in pain to the point he cries and wakes himself up.

Spoke with a qualified physio who’s also qualified in baby massage and she said try concentric circles on baby. Small circles with a little pressure on their right (your left when facing you) from the bottom of their tummy up to their ribs and then going to the other side and doing the same. Then do the usual leg exercises with them (bicycle kicks, air squats, rotating them side to side etc)

I’ve also found this really helps doing it on my LBs back. I either use my thumb or two fingers when he’s up against me. I do both sides from bottom to top in small circles. He moves around and makes the grunting noises when I first do it but burps come out and after about 4/5 times he stops moving around or grunting at all and it’s meant he’s actually slept on his back and not had to cosleep!
