Swollen feet (just venting)

I'm 36 weeks, and I have a c section scheduled for 10/04. I'm just trying to deep clean my apartment and do laundry today, but my feet are swollen like crazy after an hour of cleaning, and I'm lazy cleaning on top of that. I'm in a rolling chair cleaning because I can't stand for long periods of time, and I am also trying to avoid my feet swelling, but nope, it happened anyway.

My induction date is 10/04 ❤️

@Jazmine I'm so ready to meet my little one. 😩

are you having a boy or a girl?

a girl. Wbu?

@Andrea a little girl her name is Georgia

My feet gets so swollen also even when I sleep 😩 also my fingers.
I’m 37 weeks pregnant and I also have to deep clean but I get exhausted every time I try so far I haven’t clean yet 😪 and baby is almost here .

@Jazmine, that's cute. I'm still narrowing down her name just know her middle name will be rose

@Brisia, yes, anytime I try to clean, I'm instantly tired, but my hubby doesn't clean well enough for me, so I'm trying to fight through my swollen feet to get it done. My kids are helping me rn.

Are they inducing you because of your swollen feet? I’ve been complaining to my dr about being so swollen since May and she’s like “you just a swollen pregnant person”. I wear compression stocking and my hands have been numb for months..

Not much longer! ❤️ I feel your pain - mine (plus my ankles/legs/hands) have been swollen and painful for months and have only gotten worse. The swelling doesn't go down for anything. I left my rings on too long and have tried everything to get them off...They are completely stuck!

@Katie no I have a history of pre term labor, so for safety precautions, I'm delivering at 37 weeks

@Cristal, ugh, these last couple of weeks, I've been swelling like crazy. My doctor was worried I would get pre-eclampsia. So she is just taking all safety precautions at this point

@Andrea I know what you mean. I had some evidence of protein in my urine, so I just did a 24- hour urine test (gross , I know lol), and I'm literally about to take it in now.🤦🏼‍♀️I'm already scheduled to be induced next week at 39 because I'm on blood thinners, so we will see how this comes out. 🤞🙏

prayers to you for a safety delivery. I'm looking forward to my little one being here. I have everything ready

Thank you, and prayers for a safe delivery for you too! We are right at the finish line to meet them very soon!

Thank you. And yes we are 💓💓

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
