Drink more water, take ibuprofen 600mg with food in your tummy, take a nap with an eye mask, cold compress on your head, ear plugs, dark room, no perfume smells, eat healthy like veggies and baked chicken… no greasy foods or junk foods, have someone massage your shoulders and head or just do it yourself and massage above your ear/temples/neck and pinch your shoulders, use a stationary bar to perhaps push your shoulder into upwards to break any tension you may have, calm your mind from stressors like work/school/kids etc…

I get migraines from time to time.

I hope you feel better soon 💛

Ohhhh I just saw you are 17 weeks pregnant. No ibuprofen for you.

I’m 39 weeks pregnant and couldn’t take any ibuprofen while pregnant, as it could harm the baby.

Reduced Movements

Has anyone else gone in for monitoring for reduced movements and as soon as you arrive at triage the baby starts moving and the CTG is normal? It makes me feel like I am over reacting.

2nd pregnancy after c section

I’m not planning on getting pregnant anytime soon but in the future possibly. I just wanted to know how is pregnancy after c section like my fear is having to go through another emergency operation or even putting strain on my incision during pregnancy

Pregnancy after c section

What time scale did everyone get pregnant again after a c section?
I know the doc said they recommend eating at least a year to 18 months but it took 4 years to get pregnant the first time after being told we could not conceive naturally so not wanting to stop it happening knowing it could take a very long time again but also worried.

Newborn stage

Is anyone tired of doing the same thing everyday and being on a 2-3 hour schedule? It’s the same everyday and I feel like I’m losing my mind. It’s making me depressed even if I get out once a day. When does it get better? I feel like I’m just waiting for the next stage where it’s not just sitting around all day.

Labour

Think im a bit confused really, i went into traige as was having contractions eveey 3-5mins. Since being here im now having them every 2-3mins which was confirmed with the machine and i think the toco was 90-100 and they feel painful and my lower back is in loads of pain but apparently im only just over 2cm dilated maybe, she has said i can stay here for a bit longer to see if things progress as had a previous quick birth as well but i dont understand why the pains are coming this quick if im only 2cm dilated and feel a bit deflated from it also.

I had a sweep this morning also.

Hospital bag (UK)

What did everyone pack for their section? I'm staying in for 3 days due to mental health, not really sure what I'll need to bring, feeling very nervous. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!
