Labour/birth

Did anyone just have a feeling that they were going to go into spontaneous labour and then did that same day? If that makes sense 😂

I keep having a feeling that today is the day but I'm trying to not get hopes up as it's probably nothing 😂

Intense anxiety in pregnancy

Is anyone else having random bouts of anxiety? I’d say they’re more like anxiety attacks than constant anxiety but I’ve never experienced it in any pregnancies before not to this extent. It’s making me feel physically sick and keeping me up at night.

If you’re experiencing or have what did you do to help? Did you seek help? I can’t really pin point what’s causing it last night I started thinking about giving birth and got scared and had a panic attack that went on for hours and kept me up all night and then today suddenly making my morning tea it hit me again but this time no rhyme or reason. It’s making me tense and on edge idk what to do it’s not nice feeling this way I’m usually such a happy go lucky what will be kind of woman 😖

How's your nursery progress going?

I told myself I wanted to wait to start it because I finished way too early with my son and had nothing to do in my late second and third trimester. So, I started around 20 weeks and planned to have it most of the way finished by my baby shower. Baby shower is next weekend, the nursery is not nearly finished, and I went it there with every intention to get shit done yesterday and ended up just sitting in the rocking chair for an hour lol. Third trimester fatigue is real.

Antibiotics?

Hi, im 11 weeks pregnant and take immunosuppressives for a pre existing condition.
I've gotten a cheat infection this week and my GP has put me on penicillin antibiotics...is there any risks I should be looking out for?

Blood pressure

Anyone in here dealt with high BP/pre E? Would love to hear your experience. For the last few weeks I’ve been getting these weird episodes where I’m doing something and my head will start pounding, face gets hot, and chest feels weird and tight and then it’ll go away after I sit for a few min. I got a home BP cuff and started checking during these episodes and sure enough my BP has been spiking. It’s usually only my diastolic that spikes and goes anywhere from 89-108, and my systolic always stays either low or slightly elevated but never above 140. I thought maybe my home cuff was off so I went to Walmart and checked on Tuesday and got a reading of 137/91, so I went to OB triage that night just to be send home an hour later after fine readings after I was there resting. I’m confused why only my diastolic seems to be spiking and why only when I try and do things, and yet my BP is totally normal when at rest. Has anyone dealt with this before?
