Is anyone else getting the most horrendous aching legs if they lay on one side for too long? It’s making sleep so uncomfortable 😩 what with that and my SPD bed time is something I’m beginning to dread!

Yep I'm exactly the same it's the worst I have to get up to walk downstairs

Are you using a pregnancy pillow in between the legs?

Yep!! I use a pregnancy pillow which helps alleviate it enough for me to fall asleep but it's all night every night now 😔 my midwife told me to take paracetamol or use a hot water bottle to try and help stop the pain

yeah this morning I got up at the crack of dawn and sat on the sofa instead!

I find something between my legs so uncomfortable so basically I can’t win 😂

it’s just weird isn’t it! Every day I feel like there’s something new 😂

My legs have been aching and sore for about 3 months at night and I've just hit my 3rd trimester. My partner brought me some cooling gel from Mio (mama mio range) and it's been a life saver. You just massage it in before you sleep or massage it in at night if you suddenly feel the ache. It's wonderful stuff!! X

normal or infected?

5 weeks post c section , i went at the beginning of the week as my wound had opened completely different area to what’s leaking. was told it didn’t look infected. anyone know if this is normal coming off it, it’s only a little amount at a time

Induction?

Anyone been induced before? Was it more painful? Better than thought? Worse than thought? Worth it? Thoughts?

Baby names

My daughter‘s name is valentýna and I’m struggling to find other nice girl and boy names beginning with V I’ve got a few and I’ve got loads that aren’t beginning with V, but I feel like I wanna go for all vs and I also love girl and boys names that match so because my daughter’s name is valentýna I would love to call my son Valentino my husband does not agree 😃

Induction or c section?

As a last resort, would you rather be induced or have a planned c section?

Really not liking the thought of being induced from people’s experiences I’ve read!

I am so done with pregnancy !

Everything i do hurt . I sit down / i stand up / i walk / i lie down. I am in pain ! I am tired ! His mouvement hurt down there like electricity chock ! My back is on fire ! If i walk more then 5 minutes i feel like i am going to die ( low ferritine) the acid reflux is crazy . I mean i can’t and don’t wanna do this no more . Only 31 weeks !

Almost 37 weeks + told to do another growth scan

I just had my second to last doctor’s appointment this morning, and my OB told me she wants me to do another growth scan because my belly is measuring small. She says it’s probably just because I’m a smaller woman, but they like to be safe. It’s hard to hear though, since I just did one a couple months ago.

I did this with my firstborn around this time of pregnancy, so I do think I just carry smaller (even though I don’t feel like I look “small” at all). My first baby was 6lbs 15oz when she was born at 41 weeks + 2 days. I’m having this baby at 39 weeks on April 7. I hope she’s still at least 6lbs.

Anyone have any stories similar to this?
