Worst nights sleep

Just woken up feeling like I've had the worst night's sleep. Jumping out of bed several times in the night with cramp in my toes and calf muscles. Then had such a bad restless leg, it felt like my leg was on fire and could hardly walk on it. Any time that I was lying down trying to get to sleep my brain went into overdrive listing everything I've got to do at work and don't have ready for baby etc.

I suffered with this terrible in my first pregnancy and am starting to get it back now. What helped me last time was before bed I would spray magnesium spray onto my calves and feet and massage them with a massage gun. It’s horrible though and goes instantly once you’ve given birth. It’s crazy as soon as you’ve had the baby how much you appreciate regular things like sleep and not needing to pee constantly x

Small head reported following 20 week scan

Has anyone else had it flagged that their baby is in the bottom 5th percentile for head size?

They said everything was fine whilst we were in the scan and then I got a phone call the next day saying that it’s on the small side and we’re being referred to a paediatric specialist at St George’s. Has anyone else had this and how did things go??

Would you bring 9 week old to a family party of 35+ people?

These are also people who will want to pass the baby around and get a turn to hold him. He just got his 2 month shots two days ago

Exercise 6 weeks after c section

What movement did people start to introduce? I won’t do anything too vigorous until I’ve seen the pelvic physio as I don’t want to compromise anything that may have been extremely weakened through pregnancy! But just wondering what types of classes/movement people started off with?

Is this normal??

I’m 29 weeks pregnant and having really aching legs and they’re all lumpy and swollen. Above the knee and behind the knee . Should I be worried ? My legs have never looked like this up until a few days ago. ??
