Ughhh im 23 weeks and this is soooo real!! I literally keep saying that there is no way I can get any bigger😩😩feels like about to explodeeee

I’m the same!! I think it’s because pita my 2nd pregnancy but who knows lol
I had cramps in my legs a couple times not that bad this week

I’ve got two in there 😅 I honestly feel like I’m going to rip open ! I’m already bigger than I was full term with my oldest and my stomach is sooo tight!
The pressure down there ontop of the pressure in my ribs is horrendous I literally cannot move 😩 and I’m having to be monitored more because my uterus is that big pushing on all blood vessels and sh*t that when the twins do big movements they temporarily cut blood flow of so I go light headed and my whole body goes limp like if I’m like this now at 23 weeks how the bloody hell am I supposed to last another 14-15 weeks 😓😓

I thought this with my first and then I literally doubled in size, he was almost 10lbs though 🤣 I am feeling the same this time, 24 weeks and I feel absolutely huge 😩 My leg cramps have started again too this week, every single night! X

Yep I’m 26 weeks and feeling huge similar in size to the later stages of pregnancy with my son x

Them f**king cramps!!! Only way I can get it to stop is actually getting out of my bed and standing and I don’t appreciate that 😂

Is it a bad idea to watch "one born every minute" when pregnant?

So I am 16 weeks and 5 days now and I want to try to prepare myself for what's to come. I have had mixed reactions to the idea of watching child birth docs/TV shows such as one born every minute. What do people think? I have never seen the show before myself, Will this be helpful or am I going to scare myself? 😂😂

Fibroids and home birth?

I’ve got a small fibroid but even though it’s small the consultant still recommended I don’t home birth. The home birth team don’t seam concerned and are still happy for me to go ahead…. it’s higher risk of haemorrhaging but after doing research I can actively manage this by getting the placenta out straight away… I’m not worried, if I have to go to hospital so be it ,but I’d rather try to continue with a home birth as planned. Anyone else have any experience with this?

Close pregnancies?

I just found out im pregnant. Precautions where taken but apparently failed. Im 3 months post c section. What are your experiences being pregnant so soon after a c section. Xx

Question

I’ve been having some sharp pain at the bottom off my belly and I’ve never experienced this with my first has anyone had this before

Leaving baby with family

Hey so I’m a single mum who’s little girl is formula fed

What age was your babes when you left them for the first time? She’s now 5 weeks and I haven’t left her with any one for even a moment yet!

Breach at 38 weeks

Baby has been engaged at every scan from 28 weeks, last one at 36 weeks and was 3/5 engaged!
Last night I fet baby move and im sure theyve turned breach, whole bottom of my stomach feels empty, kicks feel like they're in my lower tummy and rock hard under my ribs.
I have another growth scan tomorrow and was scheduled for a sweep straight after but I dont think that will go ahead now.

Can baby be turned this far along still?

Absolutely petrified of the thought of a cesarean, (i actually passed out at them just describing one when I went to labour classes with my first born)
