Pink eye in pregnancy

Anyone ever have this? My toddler got sent home from school today with pink eye (yay!)

My OB says it’s nothing to worry about, but wondering what it’s like.

Last time I had pink eye was in college 10 years ago 🫠

It begins with it feeling like there’s sand or an eye lash in your eye, then it gets goopy and hard to open. You will know if you get it! Clears up with drops pretty quick. My son had it a couple weeks ago🫠

Yea you need to get some prescription eye drops and it goes away quickly

I just recently had it…I’m 36wks pregnant and had it at 33wks…I had a feeling like something was in my eye and it got super red, I got regular eye drops from the store and I slept with a warm damp washcloth over my eye to help with the goopy crust that was trying to form (it obviously cooled over night but I didn’t mind) woke up and put eye drops in the next day and within 3days it was gone without prescription eye drops

Thought I would escape this but a week later (after my sons been on antibiotic eye drops for the same amount of time), it finally hit me. Ughhh

So nothing I need to worry about re the eye drops and pregnancy? Are there different types of eye drops for pregnancy/ otherwise just like regular antibiotics?

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?

Early waters/pre term labour?

I can’t get checked until later today unfortunately. I can’t tell if I’m leaking/starting early. I definitely think I’m having braxton hicks yesterday and today.. i have some pain in my back but she is quite low down so hoping it’s just pressure, baby was a little quieter yesterday but she’s back to more normal movements today, but my underwear just seems to get so wet, especially after going to the bathroom. And I honestly can’t work out the smell, I’m pretty sure it’s just discharge/urine leaking but there’s that worry in my mind a little. Are there any other ways to know/check if it could be the start of it all?
