Can I get signed off for exhaustion when pregnant?

I am dur to finish work but I can't physically and emotionally bring myself to finish the week. I am. So exhausted and I cant stop crying. I've got postpartum depression and a 7m old not sleeping through the night and still breastfeeding 😭

Well I tried 🤣

I’ve spoke to a few on here recently regarding Csection date and said I’d be begging for a date at my 28+5 week appointment .. I tried but got told no 🤣
On a brighter note they’ve promised they book it at my next consultant appointment at 31+5 so let’s hope they keep their word🤞🏻🤞🏻

Anyone else not sleeping or oversleeping ?

Like when it is time for bed I am not tired. Around 3 or 4 AM I’ll sleep and like wake up at 1 PM🤦🏾‍♀️😒

Throw up every time you eat a certain food?

I have never had any food allergies or indigestion. But I’m 23+ 4 days and I cannot eat soondubu ( Korean soft tofu soup). I can eat everything but for some reason every time I’ve had it since being pregnant I throw it up. Does not matter if I eat out or cook it at home, eat it with seafood, beef, or no meat. I’ve tried four times since being pregnant and I’ve thrown up all four times. Has this happened to you? Is this normal? It’s not unhealthy, it’s protein but my pregnant body rejects it almost immediately. Why?!?!!

Will be 16 months PP for my C section

In October I will be having baby #2 via c section 16 months after baby #1 via emergency c section. I am wondering if any mamas have had 2 c sections close together and how was the recovery of the second time? I am a little anxious that it will be more painful than the first time.
