Holiday swelling

Hello. I've arrived at Costa Brava today. I started day at 2am. Quick flight, then taxi to the hotel. We had to walk around for two hours. I wore my comfy leggins, sandals and a tshirt. My ankles are swollen. I drink alot of water but im worried about the swelling. I feel fine, just tired. How to prezent or at least minimize swelling or is it dangerous? I'm 19 weeks tomorrow.

Some swelling can be normal, particularly if you’ve done a lot of walking about. As long as you feel fine otherwise, that’s a good sign. Put your feet up when you can to help the water drain away.

Here’s a link to some info on swelling in pregnancy

Keep your feet moving. When we went on holiday the midwife said to keep feet moving on the flight (ankle rolls, up down left right etc)

C - section

Hello lovelies, I’m getting closer to my date of c section.

Can I ask how it all went for you? I felt prepared and now I have this awful feeling what if I bleed out! I’m sure that’s not the case. But I just wondered how it went, and how the aftermath was. I have seen on social media people say it’s horrendous but then I speak to friends and family and they’re like yeah it’s not easy but you can cope! You can walk, etc. I think it’s the unknown… lol!

Also were you all sick during your procedure and did you all get terrible trapped gas? If so what tips do you have xx

Can you see anything? I’m 12 DPO 🙏

My own opinion is that this is inconclusive (can maybe see a vvvfl but could also be an indent too hard to tell) but curious what others see

Just want to sleep again! 🫩

I wake up around 8.30am, have some cereal, meditate/pray for a bit, make a cuppa and then by 10am I’m tired again and could easily nap. My iron levels have been checked and were fine. Is it just me or is anyone else feeling like this? I’m currently 35 weeks pregnant 👀

Princess birthday party

My child will be turning 5 over the summer and they’ve asked for a princess party but keep changing their mind on which princess they’d like to most their party so have said I can choose 🙈 which princess would your child have chosen at a similar age or if you’ve been to a few princess parties which one was best?
