First pregnancy hormones - what’s the worst thing you’ve done to your husbands when pregnant

To preface, we are both grouchy assholes when we first wake up, and his favorite cat just died tragically. We normally aren’t like this, and I was totally an ass for this..

BUT it was first thing in the morning and he was trying to wake me up, I had horrible HG so I was usually sick as soon as I woke up. I was trying to tell him about a doula appt later in the day and he started complaining about going to it. I started getting sick in the middle of it and told him I could do it all on my own and I would change the baby’s name 😅😂 we were naming our son after him… boyyyyy that man came into the bathroom soooo quick 😂 put me right in my place with “I get you’re sick, and I get you’re hormonal, but that gives you no reason to threaten that just because I don’t understand what a doula does. You will not say that again or we will have some real issues.”

Oops lol I didn’t say anything crazy after that 🤦🏽‍♀️

Late night food craving runs

Only thing I can remember was the only actual fight we’ve ever had. I had cholestasis and was on a very strict diet of only whole foods. Absolutely no greasy or fast foods. My biggest craving was mayonnaise and lettuce at the time so at 2am I asked my husband to get me cookout (very greasy fast-food that is 100% not good for a failing liver lol) he obviously said no but 37 week pregnant me who has had nothing but fruit, veg, whole grains, and chicken wanted the burger. I cried and swore he didn’t love me but he obviously was just trying to keep me and baby safe. He said it was so hard for him because he always said he would be that guy to get anything I craved while pregnant but this just wasn’t an option.

I was tying really hard to find something but I think the worst thing I do was to eat half a loaf of bread that was leftover.. He came back from work super late like 21:00 and he had no bread to have and he really fancied it. 🙈 I didn't realise I just needed the snack I was starving. I felt really bad 😂🙈

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?

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.

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.
