Yes! At least call labor and delivery. Severe headaches that won’t go away are signs of a couple different complications that should definitely start getting treated. Best case scenario it’s none of those, and they can help treat the headache but at least you’ll know what’s going on. Better to go in and have it be nothing than to not go and have it be horrible.

I didn’t tell my doctor that I was itchy with my last one bc I didn’t feel listened too and I didn’t think it was a big deal. Turns out it’s a sign that my liver was reacting poorly to my pregnancy and I had to be emergency induced at 36 weeks when if I had gone in, they could’ve treated it and I might made it full term

Hi, I had severe headaches from the age of 4 and when I got pregnant they were really bad at first. They did pass as I got further along thank god!! If you got any other symptoms I would go to hospital to check if it not your blood pressure or ring up your maternity ward and see what they say? Hope it helps?

You could have tension in your neck? Our postures are changing massively. So if you aren’t stretching, I recommend doing so. Or going for a massage?

Definitely mention that to your ob or midwife. Are you taking iron supplements? I was having headaches and they stopped after I started taking iron supplements I got from my midwife

This could be a sign of preclampsia or high blood pressure and you should definitely check with your doctor.

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!
