Aversion to a place?!

Does anyone else have an aversion to a specific place or am I just weird? 😂 every time I go in my downstairs toilet I gag?! I know it’s not the smell or anything. I have been sick in there a couple of times so I suppose that could be why?! I just find it very odd 😂

Yes!! I cant seem to walk into my kitchen 🤣

I’m glad it’s not just me! 😂

Haha that's funny. I definitely couldn't handle the fridge for a while but not an entire room 😅

haha see for me it’s not smells or anything! I think it’s where I’m sick in there so maybe my body just relates it to being sick and gags 😂 clearly I’m weird! X

There is a thing called anticipatory nausea - patients having chemotherapy used to get it in the days before we had good drugs to treat chemo-associated sickness x

oh really! I’ve never heard of that but it makes complete sense! X

interesting isn't it! Basically your brain builds an association between a thing or a place and feeling sick, then that thing starts to make you feel sick. I've never heard of it happening in pregnancy before, and don't know how to fix it, but I guess just understanding what might be going on is helpful sometimes!

Oh wow! I’m exactly the same with my downstairs toilet ever since I was 5 weeks pregnant. I’m now 15 weeks. I’m convinced there’s a really weird smell in there that nobody else in the house can smell! They think I’m going crazy but I can be upstairs, right at the other end of the house and I will know if someone’s left the door open because I will smell it. It’s driving me mad 😂

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! 🥰

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

Anyone else felt like this?

Hi, I’m 4 months postpartum, little one sleeps through the night and is formula fed, the last week I’ve felt extremely tired and very hungry! Just wondered if anyone else has felt this way/experienced this?

Hey what are your current symptoms?

I’m 37+5

I’m pretty mobile still but anything over a hour or 2 and I’m in discomfort

Getting up from a sitting position is hard

Some of baby’s movements now are bordering on painful especially around my crotch/pelvis

I’m exhausted very easily and nap every single day

Can basically only breathe out my mouth now and I’m snoring and dribbling 😂

Standing in one leg is very painful 😂

Some waves of pain/ tightening but I regular and mild

Low period type aches

And I feel like a fire breathing dragon with this acid reflux

My nose is growing 😂

My fingers swell slightly and go numbs in my sleep so that and constant toilet breaks keep me up ( checked swelling with MW and consultant and all normal, not a worry)

I also do not want to be social in person like I’d rather everyone just be my penpal atm lol

What are your symptoms?

Planned c section

Has anyone had a planned c section and been home the same day?
