It depends what you do for work. I found it a lot more exhausting when baby arrived due to the lack of sleep. Make sure you take care of yourself x

When I was pregnant with my toddler I worked up until I gave birth. I was a chiropractor so it was pretty physical. I was so exhausted all the time and I just thought that was normal.
Now I'm a SAHM with my 2 year old and this pregnancy has been much less exhausting, still difficult and still tiring, but no where near like my first.
It helps that she naps for two hours every day and I nap when she does 🤣

@Dimma Stephanie I agree with this! I'm due July 29 and really want to be off in June honestly. It's so hard! I only have energy to eat sleep work

How old are you? I struggled with exhaustion so badly (still am 12m PP) I was 35 when I fell pregnant, I'm sure it's my age x x

Pregnancy is so exhausting. In my first pregnancy I worked up until 1 week before due date. This time around I’m planning to go 6 weeks ahead of my due date and rest a bit. It’s actually not good for your body to be stressed before baby due to the cortisol and lack of oxytocin that helps put you into healthy labour. Try to talk to your work about what they can do to accommodate you

@Caroline are you going to go on medical leave and then mat leave or take early mat leave? I totally agree with you and would like to do the same. This is my first pregnancy and the thought of going on to end of July just seems impossible

I was absolutely exhausted all the time when pregnant, I tried to drink poweraids and stuff, but i'd still fall asleep constantly,

Pregnancy exhaustion is definitely real

@Katherine I'm so happy for this chat. I tried to explain it to my boyfriend and just telling him there's so many others saying the same thing helps I think.

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??

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

Tips for babies with wind issues

My 5 week old has always had issues bringing up all his wind. When he’s laying on his back, he’s always grunting in pain to the point he cries and wakes himself up.

Spoke with a qualified physio who’s also qualified in baby massage and she said try concentric circles on baby. Small circles with a little pressure on their right (your left when facing you) from the bottom of their tummy up to their ribs and then going to the other side and doing the same. Then do the usual leg exercises with them (bicycle kicks, air squats, rotating them side to side etc)

I’ve also found this really helps doing it on my LBs back. I either use my thumb or two fingers when he’s up against me. I do both sides from bottom to top in small circles. He moves around and makes the grunting noises when I first do it but burps come out and after about 4/5 times he stops moving around or grunting at all and it’s meant he’s actually slept on his back and not had to cosleep!
