Sleep and pain

Anyone else waking up at the same time every night without fail! I’m constantly waking up between 3 and half 3 every morning.

Last night was the worst one yet woke up in excruciating pain in my right hip. Pain killers didn’t even touch the pain to the point I broke down to my husband. Lying on my left side the pain from my right hip was intensifying. The only way I could actually sleep was sleeping on my back and I know you’re not meant to but it was the only way for me to get some sleep.

I have hip dysplasia and only found this out a year and a bit ago as I was constantly in pain after going in big walks but it’s now getting worse especially when putting pressure on them when sleeping. But is it April yet because I’m done being pregnant and getting induced early is really starting to pull me closer to that option with the way I’m feeling. As much as I want a water birth I want this over with now to be able to sleep and to walk properly 🤦‍♀️

I wouldn't say I'm struggling too much with hip pain but I'm waking up every single night around 1am, 3am and 5am for no real reason but I do always get up and go for a wee seen as I'm awake! Maybe it's my body getting me ready for night feeds 😩 I've had this awful cold/flu for a few days now too which isn't helping!

I had the terrible hip pain too and putting a pillow between my knees really helps! I tried with the pregnancy pillow first but was too fiddly so i just fold up my regular pillow in half and it works a treat! You may have already tried this but if not give it a go!

I’ve tried this nothing works for the pain unfortunately I find even being on a birthing ball hurts my hips I honestly can’t win at all 😭

it must be our body getting ready for the night feed but when I’m up at 3 that’s me pretty much up I can never fall back asleep if I do I’m tossing and turning until my body just gives in it’s horrible xx

Oh no! Sorry 😣 Hopefully not much longer to go?! X

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! 🥰

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?

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

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?
