Pregnancy kicking my a**

I’m almost 15 weeks pregnant with twins and it’s like nothing I’ve experienced with my previous singleton pregnancies.
I had the flu rather bad in December and ended up in hospital on a drip as was very poorly and dehydrated.
This week I’m suffering with conjunctivitis and a cold… really hoping it doesn’t get any worse… light is hurting my eyes, I have a constant headache, body aches and ribs feel sore… I’ve no appetite (which makes me feel worse knowing the babies need fuel but. I just can’t face food and force it down) but I am drinking at least. I keep heaving and constantly feel nauseous…
Any tips? I have 2 very active kids already that is adding mum guilt on top of all the symptoms… 🤦🏻‍♀️

I’m 28 weeks with twins and I have a 2 and a half year old and I totally understand what you are going through… I know this isn’t what you want to hear but there’s really nothing that will likely help… my sickness went away around 20 weeks but I still have the food aversions. Best advise I can give is to find one food you can tolerate and eat that only. I want to say it gets easier but honestly one symptom just gets replaced with another. Try to avoid getting sick as much as possible because if it’s as bad as mine was then it’s pure torture. My doctor just said to get through this and give yourself grace and everything will disappear once you give birth. I personally would rather be exhausted from 2 newborns and healing than to be pregnant 😭😭I’m here if you need to rant or anything because I sure have some tips and tricks for when the pelvic pain kicks in

Scan needed at 33 weeks

Hi ladies! I just had a midwife appointment (I am 33+5)..the midwife was different to my usual midwife. She's requested I have a scan within 72 hours as she said baby is measuring a little small, however, she did say that it's likely nothing to worry about and it's probably just her measuring me a bit different to my usual midwife. Has anyone else had this? Am a bit worried although babys heartbeat and movements are completely fine.

normal or infected?

5 weeks post c section , i went at the beginning of the week as my wound had opened completely different area to what’s leaking. was told it didn’t look infected. anyone know if this is normal coming off it, it’s only a little amount at a time

Finding out gender

Has anyone found out the gender at a private scan at 14 weeks? And has this been accurate?

I found out at 17 with my first but I know a scan place that offers from 14/15 weeks and I’m impatient 😂🥲

Hi

Hi guys so I’m 25 weeks today and I haven’t felt the baby kick at all yet at the scans she’s moving constantly that it’s hard to get the right measurements my first pregnancy was cryptic so I just want suggestions from one worried mother

Induction?

Anyone been induced before? Was it more painful? Better than thought? Worse than thought? Worth it? Thoughts?

Baby names

My daughter‘s name is valentýna and I’m struggling to find other nice girl and boy names beginning with V I’ve got a few and I’ve got loads that aren’t beginning with V, but I feel like I wanna go for all vs and I also love girl and boys names that match so because my daughter’s name is valentýna I would love to call my son Valentino my husband does not agree 😃
