You can use a heating pad for a certain duration! Talk to your OBGYN/midwife and they will tell you it’s okay to use it for some relief and to keep it on low. Even taking mildly warm baths/showers can help! You don’t have to completely feel that pain all the time! I’ve used a heating pad when I was pregnant with my son and I also took warm showers and baths to help with pelvic and tailbone pain when I was in the last few weeks of pregnancy.

Sameeeee no matter how much stretching I do, it's always sore and it's so frustrating cuz I can't workout anymore due to it getting worse. Heat seems to help 😭😭😭😭

I lay on 2 tennis balls after a hot shower and then do some spinning babies exercises, rub my thighs and pelvis with coconut oil, and then prop with tons of pillows after before sleeping

I swear I can feel my pelvic bone widening every time I stand up. It's so uncomfortable. I told my ob and she said it was normal. I'm 33 week so 6-7 more weeks of it 😭

yeah, I was working when I was pregnant with my son and I would try to take a bath at least 2-3 times a week and it definitely helped with the soreness. He was sitting in my pelvis head down for nearly the whole pregnancy so it was unpleasant.

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??

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!
