Pregnancy rhinitis

Stuffy nose anyone? I have literally become a mouth breather. I can’t eat or sleep. Not only is it uncomfortable but I am concerned about my babies well being if I can’t breathe correctly. Anyone else have this pregnancy symptom? Im not sick its just pregnancy rhinitis.

I’m learning that pregnancy rhinitis is the body way to fight off allergies or a cold .. but it just the hormones that’s makes worse because of the extra blood flow… I had it my first trimester it was the absolute worse okay .. I think I’m getting it again because I’m sneezing and feeling all stuffy again … I’m doing my sinus washes staying hydrated got my Flonase and Zyrtec and mucinex and some left of antibiotic… girl let’s just say I was feeling better for maybe 2 weeks … but not it’s back .. I’m going to invest in a humidifier because I’ve been around cigarette smoke tobacco smoke cold air and air fresheners so something definitely triggered my allergies that I’m back in this position

Also I end up going to the ER because I could breathe felt like I couldn’t breathe and I was given a steroid for help open the lungs more… I wish the best for you love just definitely stay hydrated as much as possible your nose gonna feel dry a lot

I’m going to get me a humidifier pretty soon

I keep Vicks on me like white in rice 😂 it works and I love the smell

Thank you ladies. Definitely getting a humidifier. Im a mess and all I want to do is sleep but O can’t. 🌸

Yes Vicks plus humidifier!! Also I put the Vicks on my upper lip just under my nose so it’s as close as it can get to my nose 🤣 I hate not being able to breathe through my nose

C - section

Hello lovelies, I’m getting closer to my date of c section.

Can I ask how it all went for you? I felt prepared and now I have this awful feeling what if I bleed out! I’m sure that’s not the case. But I just wondered how it went, and how the aftermath was. I have seen on social media people say it’s horrendous but then I speak to friends and family and they’re like yeah it’s not easy but you can cope! You can walk, etc. I think it’s the unknown… lol!

Also were you all sick during your procedure and did you all get terrible trapped gas? If so what tips do you have xx

Best way to be induced??

I just found out I may need to be induced early due to preeclampsia and having a generally bigger baby which of the ways to be induced do y’all recommended?

This is a bit strange.. but hear me out

I am 36 weeks and 4 days today.
I had that feeling, you know when you are trying to take a tampon out on your end of period and it kind of hurts because the tampon is dry? I had that sensation today?

Now I feel like I have to push something about my vagina? It kinda tickles but uncomfortable. I’m not having any pains at all anywhere btw so can’t be baby ??

cheating dream

i need advice but PLS DON'T JUDGE!!!
last night i had a dream, i always used to dream my partner cheating on me with my friends, or being super mean, but since we had our baby those dreams disappeared. for context, we haven't been able to have sex yet, I'm 12 weeks pp, and my pelvic floor is so tense, and it's awful.
last night i had a VERY weird dream, it was so realistic, and different from others, he handed me his phone, and ask me to help him handle this girl, like annoyed? in the chat this girl was super obsessive, and messaged him a lot before he replied. she asked him to sing a song to her, and he sent her a voice message singing it, and other voice messages i couldn't listen in the dream. i wrote her to stop, and she was angry, telling me he started it. then i confronted him about this (still in the dream) and he changed his attitude, he seemed so guilty and said to me he had deleted some messages. i don't remember much else, but i woke up with the URGE of checking his insta messages. we've been together for 5 years, and I've never checked his phone, and neither has he (that i know if, at least) and contained myself, but I'm still very much concerned about it. it felt like an epiphany, a revelation or smth like that. I know people might think I'm overreacting but i can't get it out of my head, it was so specific.
i though about asking him to show me, but i know he'll be bothered that i don't trust him (i would be too in his place), but if he's cheating he would say that to make me feel bad. also i thought about checking his phone in his sleep, and then ask him to see his reaction, but feel so bad, i wouldn't like if he went through my phone without asking, even tho I have nothing to hide.
please, be kind!!

Princess birthday party

My child will be turning 5 over the summer and they’ve asked for a princess party but keep changing their mind on which princess they’d like to most their party so have said I can choose 🙈 which princess would your child have chosen at a similar age or if you’ve been to a few princess parties which one was best?
