Nasal congestion and numb leg

Good morning!! I am 18 weeks tomorrow, and this nasal congestion is kicking my butt. Does anyone have any tips to help besides nasal strips? Also, the last couple of nights I’ve had numbness and tingling in my left leg, ONLY when I lay in bed. Assuming the uterus could just be on a nerve in a laying position, but any thoughts?

I went through this as well. A Neti pot was the only thing that helped with congestion, I have bad allergies and had to stop all my prescription meds. For the leg cramping/numbness I drank milk before bed and that seemed to help

I’ll be 18 weeks tomorrow too 🤍 I have really bad allergies and what’s helped me is taking some extra vitamin c. Sounds like maybe you have a pinched nerve? You can ask your doctor if you can see a chiropractor who may be able to help! If it’s more like leg cramps I’ve taken magnesium which helped immensely!

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?
