Pain at night

28 weeks and everything I try to lay on my side. It hurts like he'll. Is this normal? Any tips or tricks to help

I’m 28 weeks and also experiencing similar! If you haven’t already, I suggest investing in a pregnancy pillow (~$30) on Amazon. It has helped me a little, and definitely makes getting comfortable a little easier!

I'm 27 weeks and sleeping through the night has gotten worse. Constantly turning side to side even with a pregnancy pillow :(

It doesn’t get better. Once you feel like the night time is getting better you’ll get acid reflux & insomnia to keep you up OR the Braxton hicks!

I was struggling to get comfortable and have been using kinesiology tape to hold my belly and it has helped a lot. It in combination with a pregnancy pillow wedge has been doing the trick for the most part

I'm 27 weeks and having the same issues. I have a huge pregnancy pillow that used to help until a few weeks ago. Now I just toss and turn because my hips are always hurting and if it's not that it's acid reflux or insomnia or I can't find a position for my belly to be comfortable. Unfortunately I heard it only gets worse until delivery time.

My doctor says that the not being able to sleep is the universes sick way of preparing us for the baby's arrival when we won't be sleeping because of having a new born. It's preparing us to be tired and function. 😂

I literally sleep sitting up at a slight leaning angle with a pillow under one hip or the other. I still toss side to side but have found sitting up helps with a lot of the issues.

Oh my God, oh my God I hope this is not true!!!! I’m kind of scared

I’ve been throwing up and taking a shit all night!!! I just hope that it’s not what I think it is

Scan needed at 33 weeks

Hi ladies! I just had a midwife appointment (I am 33+5)..the midwife was different to my usual midwife. She's requested I have a scan within 72 hours as she said baby is measuring a little small, however, she did say that it's likely nothing to worry about and it's probably just her measuring me a bit different to my usual midwife. Has anyone else had this? Am a bit worried although babys heartbeat and movements are completely fine.

Finding out gender

Has anyone found out the gender at a private scan at 14 weeks? And has this been accurate?

I found out at 17 with my first but I know a scan place that offers from 14/15 weeks and I’m impatient 😂🥲

Hi

Hi guys so I’m 25 weeks today and I haven’t felt the baby kick at all yet at the scans she’s moving constantly that it’s hard to get the right measurements my first pregnancy was cryptic so I just want suggestions from one worried mother

Rolling milestone at 5 months - What’s typical ?

Good morning ladies,

My daughter will be 5 months old tomorrow, but there’s still no sign of her rolling. She does tummy time and loves lying on her mat, playing with hanging toys above her and to the sides, but she only lifts her legs and doesn’t seem interested in rolling or moving sideways yet.

Anyone else the same or have your babies already learnt how to roll yet ?

Thank you

Random one!

My 5 month old has only ever had tears from one eye the other has never had a single tear, it doesn't look red gunky or anything just never had a tear?
Is this anything to worry about ? I did ask the doctor while she was younger but it's still going on!
