How are you feeling/sympts?

Hello, just turned 33 weeks and wondered the kinds of normal day to day symptoms people have been experiencing?
I notice now that when I am on my feet for not even too long I can get lower back pain and just pure tiredness.
Pgp and one of the biggest things is feeling insanely warm - like sweating lots.
Sometimes when I’m walking the bump really tightens up too.
Any of this ring true for others? :-)

33 weeks as well 🙌🏼
Last week I started having feet pain. In the middle it really hurts when I walk, worst is 1st thing in the morning when I stand up. Bad night legs cramps and I take 2 pills of magnesium a day plus magnesium soak baths 👀 Varicose veins since about week 15 and getting worse and worse. Bad cellulite on legs due to water retention. Gained well over 2 stones so suppose a lot of water. Waking up a lot during night to go pee, being hot or thirsty. Bump is growing so started struggling with any sort of bending - putting socks on, shoes on, even undies, all hurts!
Gotta say these things suck but I still consider my pregnancy smooth and love being pregnant 🤗🤗❤️

Day out after c section

Hey,
I had an emergency c section 1 week ago I obviously don't want a day out right now but I have things booked for the Easter holidays so in 2 weeks. I was just wondering if I will be overdoing it if I have a day out then or will I be ok? I would still take it as easy as I could. When did everyone feel good enough to go out?

Period like cramps

Hi
I’m currently 33 weeks pregnant and I keep getting period like cramps I thought these were Brixton hicks but I’ve heard they only last 30 seconds ish as this can go on for a good time frame then go away and come back, they aren’t bad enough where I can’t do basic things they just feel like I’m about to get my period I’m jus wondering how normal this is? Baby is still very actively kicking xx

C section or natural?

I am a control freak and thinking c section is the least stressful route for me and baby… less complications during labour etc. whilst acknowledging recovering can be hard.
If it could be guaranteed no tearing or complications then I would opt for natural and kind of want to experience the feeling.
Then again could plan and go either way 😂 arghh!
Anyone else in this predicament?

Midwife check

Can someone remind me when the midwife visits you at home? Is it the day after you’re discharged? And is that the same on the weekend or do they not visit then? Thanks!

Invited to a chuckie cheese party but I don't have money and don't want to tell my daughter that's why we can't go. Does anyone know how their parties work?

I'm not sure how chuckie cheese parties are. If they give you money to play or not if you're in the party. And then I'm wondering if it's an actual birthday party or if they're just going to chuckie cheese. Some guy in my building told me a couple weeks ago that his son's birthday is today and he's thinking of doing chuckie cheese. They sent an invite but I feel so insecure not being able to afford anything. Like if they don't have food for example. Idk what to do.

Owlet

Anyone else’s owlet pi##ing them off ?!?! It goes off 5/6 a night saying it can’t get a reading and needs a snug fit. My baby is 8 months old so moves a lot. It is driving me insane and I keep end up taking it off!!
