Am I the only one ?

I am almost 36 weeks, and I am constantly going to the restroom for #2, I’m sleepy right after I eat, I’m swelling my ankles, feet and hands have gotten huge. I love my partner with everything in me and am so appreciative of him but I want him far away but close by at the same time. I’m excited to see my son but scared about how I’m going to go into labor and giving birth. This is my 4th and I have extreme anxiety.

The swelling might be due to high blood pressure- I would check it out! I’m also 36 weeks and just got diagnosed with hypertension

Not alone but this is my first pregnancy so I can’t say what it may or may not be. I hit 36 weeks today and woke up with hot hands and feet, swelling up. But last time I went at 34 weeks (I think) they sent me home saying I was fine so I tried to just sleep it off. It did go down but it was freaking me out. I also was feeling pressure in my nose and temples along with overwhelming exhaustion. I have dealt with really bad anxiety throughout my pregnancy on and off but it was pretty bad today and I feel super sensitive.

I have been feeling like that for two weeks now, I’m just so uncomfortable. My pelvic and hip bone are separated 13mm. 😔 I’m just filled with anxiety

Confused Over Test Result

My heads pretty blagged about this atm. I’ve had spotting & some cramping but of the 2 tests I’d have expected the clear blue one to be most accurate. Any advice?

2nd baby

Anyone who’s had their 2nd baby, when did you go into labour compared to your first?

SPPH (secondary postpartum haemorrhage) due to retained placenta -D&C?

Looking to see if anyone else has experienced this? Currently trying to pass retained tissue ( 4 weeks pp) and finding every day so exhausting just constantly waiting and checking my bleeding. I stopped bleeding on week 2.5/3 then bleeding picked up last Saturday and I haemorrhaged on Thursday morning with a rush to hospital. Everyday since I’m waking up scared I’ll be bleeding out. Worried to go toilet to check, I’m not convinced I’ll be passing it naturally and I’m worried I’ll need a D&C… has anyone had this? My retained tissue is 2cm so they said it’s small but I have no signs of passing it or blood changing colour to show slowing down.

Boy or girl?

I’ve just discovered the nub theory and this is my 4th baby. Anyone take a guess?

New to nub theory idea

Fourth pregnancy and only just discovered this. Any guesses?

Palpitations and out of breath

Anyone else dealing with heart palpitations and running out of breath super quickly?

I already spoke to my midwife, and they put me on magnesium and extra electrolytes and said if it doesn’t help, to tell them again. I have my next OB appointment on Tuesday and I plan on bringing it back up when I see her then, but I feel like my shortness of breath has just gotten increasingly worse and the dizziness is now off and on when I used to not get it before.

Anyone else has that experience?

I am 30 weeks on Wednesday (March 25) with a C-section scheduled for end of May.
