Feeling ill

I'm 30 weeks + 6 today and feel so ill and exhausted. Is anyone else feeling awful ? I have no idea how I'm going to manage the next however many weeks until Labour. The reflux is awful, and my throat hurts. I feel so weak and exhausted

100% I’ve been in bed all day with reflux nothing is working I can’t even lay down!

Yup I’m 30+3 and have generally felt so rotten over the past few days. Exhausted, achy, nauseous with bad heartburn 😬 got 20 days left at work and counting them down because I can’t cope anymore with the long shifts xx

@Talia I have a midwife appointment tomorrow, so I'm going to ask about Omeprazole as I used to take it before pregnancy, so I'm hoping she can prescribe some for me. I have stayed in bed the last 2 days, just feeling so run down. I think it's my body telling me to slow down

@Nikki Are you taking anything for the reflux that is helping? I've been drinking milk constantly but feel like I need something else

@Talia, The counting of days has certainly helped me. I have 15 days left unless I reduce my days the last 2 weeks. I will see how I go this week.

Small head reported following 20 week scan

Has anyone else had it flagged that their baby is in the bottom 5th percentile for head size?

They said everything was fine whilst we were in the scan and then I got a phone call the next day saying that it’s on the small side and we’re being referred to a paediatric specialist at St George’s. Has anyone else had this and how did things go??

Would you bring 9 week old to a family party of 35+ people?

These are also people who will want to pass the baby around and get a turn to hold him. He just got his 2 month shots two days ago

Exercise 6 weeks after c section

What movement did people start to introduce? I won’t do anything too vigorous until I’ve seen the pelvic physio as I don’t want to compromise anything that may have been extremely weakened through pregnancy! But just wondering what types of classes/movement people started off with?

Is this normal??

I’m 29 weeks pregnant and having really aching legs and they’re all lumpy and swollen. Above the knee and behind the knee . Should I be worried ? My legs have never looked like this up until a few days ago. ??
