How are y’all surviving?!

I’m 9 weeks and 5 days pregnant and the nausea and fatigue is literally debilitating! I work full time and have a toddler and I am struggling! Is anyone else feeling the same?! Not to mention my allergies are terrible!!

I’m 10 weeks and same I’ve been in bed since 4 weeks. Luckily I’m a stay at home mom and my daughter is 14. But I 100% understand how hard it is right now for you.

I have a 1 and 2 year old and simply getting them out of bed and milk feels I've ran 10 marathons. I understand and hopefully it passes son!

I’m also 9 weeks, 5 days! I’m SO tired all the time. I could stay in bed all day. I have no appetite and have a sore throat.

I’m literally in the same situation except I don’t have a toddler (but take care of one for work), I’m absolutely DRAINED

I feel the same. It’s so hard to focus at work and then deal with any smell that starts making me feel nauseated

Yes yes. Struggling

Me too! I spend all day in bed then go to work. I don’t do anything else other than bed then work

The feeling is mutual! I’m 9 weeks and 3 days and work full time too! Can hardly sit for 30 minutes without falling asleep on my chair! Exhausted! 😴 Thankfully, no nausea.

I feel your pain I have 3 under 3 right now and work full time I’m 8 weeks 3 days😭

My sinuses have been UNHINGED! I started out catching a cold on the 6th, which ended up progressing to a sinus infection :( I was hoping to avoid going on antibiotics, but I ended up getting amoxicillin and it’s made things 100x better. I was struggling! I still think the post nasal drip is going to stick around just based on pregnancy alone. 🤧

Bright yellow

I’m currently 36 weeks pregnant tomorrow and when I’m going for a wee I’m wiping and it’s bright yellow, I’ve got no irritation or smell is this common?

Stretch and Sweep

Hi girls!
I am 41 weeks and I am booked in for a membrane sweep this morning. For the past 3 weeks I have been in false labour and have lost my mucus plug around 5 times.

How many of you have had successful sweeps please?

I feel like I am trying everything and baby girl is just too comfy haha

Hospital bag

I'm having my second baby at the end of the month and my first baby was an emergency c section. This time I'm doing scheduled c section. Any ideas what to pack specifically for a scheduled c section?

Name spelling

I’m due a second little boy in July! My husband and I have decided on a name but we are unsure on spelling as there are 2 variations. It is not a common first name and I am UK based where it is more commonly a surname. In the UK it is more commonly spelled Callaghan with the G which is silent and has Irish roots. However, as a first name it is used more frequently in America spelled Callahan. Opinions on with or without the G?

C-section hospital bag question..

Never had a section before always gone straight home after birth.

How many pairs of underwear should I be packing? Is 3 pairs enough?

Also is there anything else you'd recommend if I have to stay in?

Ovulation Pain

So for the last few days I've had horrific symptoms. Cramps that are honestly like labour pains, dull ache in lower back, reflux, extreme bloating, fatigue, anxiety and a bit gassy/ digestive discomfort. I'm at the point in my cycle now where I'd likely be ovulating. Anyone else experience similar? I'm almost 10 months postpartum and I've had 1 period so far. Still EBF.
