Struggling to eat

Anyone else struggling to eat during the third trimester? Not because I lost my appetite or don’t want to eat, but because the second I eat, I’m so full, between my stomach and my baby that I’m miserable for hours…. I try to do small meals during the day but dinner usually does me in at night!

Yeah same. My midwives just told me to eat more. My weight had plateaued. Im going for more filling and nutritionally dense snacks throughout the day. Also, I have the fairlife protein shakes from Costco and that’s an easy way to get more calories and protein without feeling too full. I grab one when I wake up in the morning .

Yup. I’ve barely gained weight. I don’t want to eat, I’m so bloated. This belly is really high up and I’m just so uncomfortable. I’m also constipated so that doesn’t help 🤦🏻‍♀️

Me too 33 weeks twins haven't gained a pound bc every time I eat I throw it all up leaving me feeling emptier and miserable

I find everything I eat lately just makes me feel so sick. I’m 32 weeks today and my baby definitely takes up most of me 😂 I’m 5’ 0”.

I get it, I gained 5 pounds the last couple weeks but I genuinely don’t know how just cause I don’t feel like I’ve eaten enough to have gained that. I’m not having any swelling so I don’t think it’s fluid retention

I call the 3rd trimester the snacking stage lol meals completely disinterest me, but snacking throughout the day has helped so much. You should be having a small snack every 2ish hours

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?

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.

Anyone else due 1st May?

I’m wondering whether I’ll have an April or May baby, thought she’d be late originally because she’s my first but I’ve had this weird feeling recently she’ll be early… if you’re in the same position what do you think?
