Hey everyone! I found out I was pregnant Dec 22 and was curious what your current symptoms are. I don’t have many & want to put my mind at ease.

When I was 4 weeks I had barely any symptoms. The only one that I noticed was I was super tired like I mean EXHAUSTED sometimes and just had to sleep. Other than that it was all business as usual.

I'm pregnant with my second baby and it's so much different for me than last time. I am bloated, gassy, boobs are a bit sore, back is sore! But my first pregnancy I didn't have any symptoms other than maybe being a little more tired than usual!
Does anyone have any suggestions or recommendations for the best type of underwear to get to wear during c section recovery?

I have had my obstetrician appointment at 36+5 days to request my elective c section.
The consultant requested the surgery for the 1st October making me 38+5 days on the day of surgery. But she did caution that it may be between the 1st-8th depending on theatre availability.
How many people got honoured the date they requested, and how many requested a specific date and was given a different date?

The midwife told me to remove it on day 5. I had my c section Monday morning so does that mean today or tomorrow?

I’m currently 33 weeks pregnant and I keep having pains in my back/side and it’s exactly like a cramp and it feels as if that part of my back seizes up and tightens and I can’t get rid of the pain, has anyone else had this and if so do you know how to get rid of it 😫 it’s been like this for over a week now, I can’t do anything without it getting triggered, I feel like it may be from the position baby girl is in but I feel so helpless I’m in pain literally everyday 🥲

Has anyone given gripe water to their 3 week old? My little boy appears to be struggling with trapped wind. He’s currently on aptamil and absolutely guzzles it like he’s never been fed but then I find he struggles with winding following a bottle and also is now only going for poos every two to three days which I think is also making him uncomfortable. TIA x

Had my growth scan today (38+5 weeks) and baby girl is at a EFW of 8.7lbs 😅 The lady doing the ultrasound was amazed at how big she was asking if she’s previously been measuring big, asking if I have GD (which I don’t), said baby has a chubby belly so my placenta must be doing a really good job, that she’s very very low down, her legs are very very long and said “wow you must be feeling that, this baby is going to be a bruiser”.
Throughout my whole pregnancy she’s been measuring big and I’ve always taken her efw with a pinch of salt as they’re not 100% accurate and have been quite excited to give birth but after the sonographers comments today I just feel so nervous and anxious for labour. I’m in constant pain because of how low she is, my 🐱 has swollen and the lightning crotch is unbearable to walk/sit/lay down. Did anyone else’s baby measure big during their ultrasound appointments? If so, how was it in labour? Will they suggest a c section for me because of her weight? I want to go all natural as I have sciatica so don’t want an epidural incase it messes up my back more and I really want to push.
