Feeling defeated

First time mom and feel like I have not been enjoying pregnancy, it started with my herniating a disc in my back and I feel like I’ve had every symptom under the sun. Yesterday, I just found out I failed my 3 hour glucose test and have to monitor blood sugar levels. I know that it will be worth it in the end but I am feeling very discouraged right now with how hard the journey has felt.

People do no normalize enough that pregnancy just sucks sometimes. It’s physically, mentally, and emotionally taxing. Your feelings are valid some days will be better than others💓

I love the Chardonnay said this and I agree. I have been nauseous the entire time and have been hospitalized for various reasons. I want to like it and I know it will be worth it but it is so exhausting to constantly feel sick

I feel you. I got my test results back from the 3 hour last Thursday and I have my follow up this Friday. It's been really hard trying to accept it and figure out how to manage my sugars, but you got this.

I completely understand! I have hg and it’s VERY hard for me to enjoy day to day tasks. I’m either sick or about to faint

Do active babies in the womb become active newborns?

I had my 40 week ultrasound yesterday (on my due date) and the doctor mentioned how active my baby is. Curious as to your experiences regarding if your baby was active in the womb, are they likely to be active when they’re newborn? 😊

Small bumps

I have a really small bump, at 27 weeks pregnant. People keep commenting on the fact my bump is so small and its starting to worry & get me down. Has anyone here had a small bump with a baby that weighed measured average size? Its really worrying me! I have a 30 week scan and one at 37 weeks because im on a moderate pathway - had a gastric sleeve in 2023 so its to check she is growing but as the comments are coming im now panicking where I wasnt before 😫

Early Labour?

I’m 34 weeks today, since 3am I’ve been having irregular cramping which becomes quite intense and has caused me to vomit. I’ve also had diarrhoea. Could I be in early labour or could I just have a bad stomach? I feel generally well in myself

7 w post c-section running

When is it ok to start running again? Health visitor advised to wait longer before running but did anyone start at 7 weeks and how?
I know I won't be running marathons any time soon and probably have to start back at a couch to 5k but when?! I'm getting restless legs! Advice please

Movements at 31 weeks

Does anyone else feel like their movements are more subtle since being further along in the pregnancy? I can feel my baby moving inside my belly but I don't feel the movements as "strong" when I put my hand on my belly. Not sure if it's because they've changed from "kicking" to "rolling" movements.

Anyone else feel the same?
