Pregnancy Pillow Pain

Does anyone have a pregnancy pillow and find that it’s giving you back ache and hip pain? I can’t work out if it’s my bed, or the pillow stopping me from turning in my sleep. I have never been a back sleeper, but recently keep waking up on my back with the pillow wherever I end up moving it in my sleep

my tommee tippee one is similar shape to the Bella moon! I’m convinced it’s the pillow causing the issue

I get really bad sore hips in the morning
Maybe I need a pregnancy pillow , currently 19 weeks 3 days

Yes!! I am really struggling with my J shaped pillow. Every morning (and in the night) i wake up with horrendous lower back pain and also soreness on the side of my thighs from laying on them. I’ve given up with the preg pillow and now just using a regular pillow to put under my bump until i work something out. Only time i’m comfortable is on my back but not allowed 😩

I just use a spare pillow and pop it between my legs and it has been great, it actually helps me fall asleep quicker

I've got a U shaped pillow (babybub)and it really helps for keeping me on my side, and it feels comfortable when I get into bed bit by the morning I do ache a bit. The inside is stuffing and because of the way it was sent I'm struggling to get it evened out. It reminds me of when you put a pillow in the washing machine and it all just becomes a ball of stuffing 🤣.
Sometimes I also think I might be aching as I'm actually in bed for ages now!! I can't stay up past 10:30 at best then not up till 7. So a long time to be on my side

i really want another baby

i am merely a few months pp but i want another baby, but i am scared of the age gap (2 under 2) and also with everything going on in the world i just think its not the best idea at the moment but i am having crazy baby fever and miss having a newborn🥹

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?

Has anyone ever had pain in the bone at the bottom of the lady area?

How I can only describe it is I feel like I have a fracture or the bone is broken right at the bottom of my vagina bone obviously don’t think it’s to the extent but that’s how it feels. I had it in my last pregnancy and the pain went few months postpartum now it’s back again with this pregnancy. These are the results that u e googled I think I may have the first one has anyone every had this or something similar

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

Homebirth?

I am thinking I want a homebirth (second baby) for a few different reasons but my husband is very against it, he is worried about things going wrong and we are a 30 minute drive from the hospital. Has anyone been in a similar position and what did you end up doing? Any advice? 🙏

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!
