Pregnancy pillow

I am struggling to avoid lying on my back or right side during my second pregnancy. Does anyone have any recommendations for pregnancy pillows that might help?

The babygo premium pregnancy pillow was amazing for me! I had the same issue and found the way the pillow was shaped helped massively x

Sorry why r u avoiding lying on your back or right side?🤔

Thank you. I fall asleep on my left hand side but I got no idea how I turn in my sleep😒 any way to control twisting and turning during sleep?🤔

@Kaydee thank you, I will check it out 🤍

@Raluca Hiya, I've read on the Tommy's charity website that side sleeping is the safest position during pregnancy. The website contains the details, advice and weeks of pregnancy etc

I got a few pillows but my favourite by far was the bbhugme pillow. I got a used one off vinted and ordered a new cover for it xx

Thank you ladies. Good mirning! One more question, this position of nit sitting on your back does it apply only for sleeping or also when I'm awake? My back hurts badly because of the weight and scoliosis, so when i sit down, I sit on my back instead of side...

thank, I'll have a look at that one :-)

@Raluca Im not sure of that specifically but check out the Tommy's website.. https://www.tommys.org/pregnancy-information/im-pregnant/sleep-side/sleep-position-pregnancy-qa

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.
