👟 Shoes!!! 👟

What is everyone wearing on their feet that a) fits and b) is comfy?!

I’m 37+3 and no closed shoes fit me.

Today my consultant wasn’t impressed with my sandals and told me to find something comfy as swelling will get worse before it gets better.

I'm a croc girl. I appreciate not for everyone 🤣 but they've been ideal for me the whole way through.

i wore sliders, now with a one year old i live in crocs lol !!

My feet fit in nothing but crocs sandals and Birkenstocks 😂

Crocs all the way. Loved them before, but perfect in pregnancy!

Crocs and sliders ☺️

I've been wearing slider type and I got myself some slip on sketchers and they're amazing! Saves you having to struggle to do them up 🤣

Birkenstock clogs or sandals. Lucky it's not the depths of winter or guess I'd be in wellies...

Crocs, all day every day

I’ve been having the same problem 😩 even my Birkenstocks are making my feet worse! By the end of the day I can’t fit my feet in my crocs 😂 my feet are absolutely shocking!

Sliders. Only things that are comfy and my feet fit in.

Sliders🤣

CROCS !! 😂

Still wearing sandals & Birkenstocks because they are so comfy and mean that I don’t have to bend over to put them on 😅😅

I have one pair of trainers that fit and that's it, so they get worn with everything I own 😂

If I’m going out though I do find my ankle converse comfortable, they kinda keep me in and compressed and I feel like they prevent further swelling 😂

I got some arch support sketchers when my feet started swelling. They have been great for support and are super stretchy. Also helps to slide them on when you can't bend down anymore 🤣

CROCS!! i tried being stylish the other day and got my converse out and omg the blisters on the side of my feet were so painful from where my feet have swollen 😭

Birkenstock one strap! Got some crocs but can't squeeze my feet into them on a bad day. 🤦‍♀️

Crocs in the morning then I have to change to Haviannas due to the swelling, they get too fat for my crocs 😂

Crocs and crocs only, I haven’t worn anything else for a good 3 months 😂

My feet were exceptionally wide before being pregnant, now they are HUGE the only thing that fits me at the moment are slip on sketchers with no laces, I've lived in them for the last 3 months, they've been fab.

Crocs and sliders lol

I’ve got 1 pair of flip flops that have been comfy (dupes of sketchers). Nothing else fits and my feet have been too hot to try and fit into trainers!
Got my c section booked for next week though so hoping I can last in flip flops before then! At least they dry if you step in puddles!

Birkenstocks & Crocs!

I just don't go outside anymore 😂

Outgrown everything even my crocs and Birkenstocks. Wearing my partners trainers now as they’re a size and a half bigger than mine!

Crocs

Crocs 🥰

Crocs 👍

Thanks everyone! You all gave me the strength I needed to wear my crocs to work!

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!

Clogged ducts, eye gunk

Little Theo has been having really gunky eyes, we’ve taken him to the doctor and the a and e and they’ve said it’s most likely a clogged duct, anyone else’s baby have this and was there anything to do about it? I feel horrible constantly wiping his eye xx
