Struggling

Guys I am not well 😐 I’m 5 weeks today and I’ve been experiencing the worst stomach/digestion pains, horrible gas pains all day every day, shooting pains, acid reflux and indigestion.. I know this stuff gets worse as pregnancy goes on and I’m confused as to why it’s all so bad this early.. and how I’ll survive lol. has anyone else experienced this and had it get better? I’m so anxious 😥
This is also my third pregnancy the first two ending in miscarriage so I feel guilty being this anxious and miserable

Gosh I am so sorry, that sounds terrible. I unfortunately have no advice as I am only 4 weeks with my first but just wanted to say I’m sorry and hopefully it gets better soon! When did that start for you?

Thank you! It started just before 4 weeks so basically since I found out 🙈

ugh that is terrible. Hoping it ends soon for you!

I’m 5 weeks, and I’ve been eating SOOOO much more than I expected to. I’m starting to experience some of the same things but at an extreme level. My first two ended in miscarriage too so I’m trying sooo hard not to compare those pregnancies to this current one. 🤍

Follow up with your DR. Stay positive and stay off google too long :)

I hope you feel better! I’m 6 weeks and have been experiencing gas and constipation. I didn’t think symptoms would be so noticeable this early. I drink ginger ale and probiotic good belly juice from ALDIs and it has been helping me.

These gas pains are about to kill me.

Right?! This is my first pregnancy and I think I’ll use a surrogate for the next one! Pregnancy is miserable so far!

Gas pains definitely aren't fun to have, for me I drink grape juice and it helps! I know prune juice would definitely help, if it's bad enough, and if your dr approves (I always recommend to ask your dr before anything just to be safe lol)

I hope I’m having twins because I’m pretty confident I cannot inflict this pain on myself again lol

I’m only 6 weeks and haven’t taken anything yet, but my friend swears by what her doctor prescribed her for morning sickness: diclegis

Not sure if it helps with all your symptoms but might be worth asking about!

Day out after c section

Hey,
I had an emergency c section 1 week ago I obviously don't want a day out right now but I have things booked for the Easter holidays so in 2 weeks. I was just wondering if I will be overdoing it if I have a day out then or will I be ok? I would still take it as easy as I could. When did everyone feel good enough to go out?

Period like cramps

Hi
I’m currently 33 weeks pregnant and I keep getting period like cramps I thought these were Brixton hicks but I’ve heard they only last 30 seconds ish as this can go on for a good time frame then go away and come back, they aren’t bad enough where I can’t do basic things they just feel like I’m about to get my period I’m jus wondering how normal this is? Baby is still very actively kicking xx

C section or natural?

I am a control freak and thinking c section is the least stressful route for me and baby… less complications during labour etc. whilst acknowledging recovering can be hard.
If it could be guaranteed no tearing or complications then I would opt for natural and kind of want to experience the feeling.
Then again could plan and go either way 😂 arghh!
Anyone else in this predicament?

Midwife check

Can someone remind me when the midwife visits you at home? Is it the day after you’re discharged? And is that the same on the weekend or do they not visit then? Thanks!

Owlet

Anyone else’s owlet pi##ing them off ?!?! It goes off 5/6 a night saying it can’t get a reading and needs a snug fit. My baby is 8 months old so moves a lot. It is driving me insane and I keep end up taking it off!!
