Generally feeling I’ll and some virus as my throat was a tiny bit red . Anyways she said she can’t give me antibitoics drops or anibitoics due to being pregnant I’m due soon and I’m scared ima be left with an infection and Go into Labour feeling this unwell . She gave me ear calm spray for 7 days to see if it settles in if anything get worse obvs to go back and probs will go on anibitoics then . Does anyone know if this should improve with time ?

Ear infections, most of the time (75%) are viral, so antibiotics won’t work.
You could see a chiropractor to help with correct drainage that should help with the neck pain too.
It’s likely there is inflammation and blockage. Using a warm compress should ease the pain.
I would either use colloidal silver drops or if you’ve managed to get any colostrum yet then that is literal magic.

I would just put in a couple of drops in each ear and lay down with head tilted for 5/10min. Evening and morning see how you get on.
It’s a shame to use it but at the same time if it helps before you go into labour then absolutely worth it in my opinion.
I’ve used colostrum and breastmilk for so many things I swear by it! Xx

ooo that’s really good I’ve got them in syringes so should I just get dew drops out of that and does that need to go directly into the ear canal or just kind of at the entrance of the ear ?or proper inside and down xxx

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!
