Stay at home mum and struggling 😫

I honestly don’t know how you ladies with jobs do it when feeling this rough, I’m currently stuck to the couch scared to move in case I throw up, zero energy and trying to manage a toddler! I feel so rough and all I want to do is sleep so yeah I don’t know how you working ladies get through the day !!!

I feel you! I have a 2 and a 3 year old and I’m struggling with feeling unwell and exhausted all the time! I take naps when my husbands home but when he’s at work it is so hard 😩 honestly never expected any of this feeling crappy etc so early on, I thought all this came near the end of pregnancy 🥴 nobody has ever mentioned feeling so unwell in the first trimester to me before lol x

I’m with you. I have 2.5 year old. Luckily dad is not working right now. But my kid has been living off pancakes, Dino nuggets and tv. Trying to tell myself he’s safe and this is just a short phase.

*Just to add as what I said might sound dumb not expecting it after having 2 kids - I did not birth my boys, this is my first pregnancy so it’s all new to me x

I work but to be honesy I dont find it too bad... but when I'm off I feel like I have no energy and could sleep all day... I work with 2yr olds aswell so a duno if it keeping busy that I don't notice the tiredness because once I'm home it's tea baths and bed for me and my daughter 🤣

I have a 5 month old and have just gone back to work today. It’s actually gonna kill me off 😂 I just keep reminding myself that it’s not for long and I’ll be off again 😴

Is this normal?

Is this little red bit on my section scar normal? It’s not oozing anything, doesn’t hurt but it’s the only bit on my scar like it so just curious! (19 days PP)
Thank you in advance! 🥰

Help

I was getting pretty painful period cramps and during those, I had painful lower back cramps. I had these on and off for like a few hours so from about 10:30pm to 1am?

I’ve had no show, or anything like that.

Is this braxton hicks or early labour pains?

Labour??

I’ve had on/off mild period cramps since 9 last night, very irregular and very mild, but I just had one that woke me up. My waters haven’t gone and nor has my mucous plug… but could this be a sign that it’s close?! I’m 40+3 and desperate to meet her!

Fed up

Anyone else just feeling fed up in general? I just never feel happy anymore. Wake up dreading what the day ahead of us will be like.
Little one will be 6 week tomorrow

Early waters/pre term labour?

I can’t get checked until later today unfortunately. I can’t tell if I’m leaking/starting early. I definitely think I’m having braxton hicks yesterday and today.. i have some pain in my back but she is quite low down so hoping it’s just pressure, baby was a little quieter yesterday but she’s back to more normal movements today, but my underwear just seems to get so wet, especially after going to the bathroom. And I honestly can’t work out the smell, I’m pretty sure it’s just discharge/urine leaking but there’s that worry in my mind a little. Are there any other ways to know/check if it could be the start of it all?

32 weeks

32 week growth scan and clinic appointment. Did anything unusual happen? Ive heard a few people saying 32 weeks was when they had a induction date
