Anyone else super congested?

I’m 32 weeks pregnant and I’m waking up in the morning all blocked up and all day I feel like my nose is blocked but when I blow it nothing comes out.. anyone have any tips ? I am unsure what’s safe to use in pregnancy.

C-section time off

If I have a c-section can I take sick leave then maternity or can I only take maternity?

No reassurance from my care team

Hi gals, I’m 34 weeks today and a ftm feeling like I have no reassurance from my care team at all… I went to see my midwife today and mind you the last bit of reassurance I had was at 19 weeks with an anatomy scan, my midwife had informed me more than once I won’t be sent for another scan unless I pay for a private one on my own

At 31 weeks my fundal height was measuring 32cm today I’m measuring 33cm that’s 1 cm difference between 3 weeks this would mean he’s now measuring under… why am I the only one concerned about this? I don’t know if he’s big or small anything haven’t seen him on ultrasound for weeks I’ve had no reassurance that’s he’s growing okay and that my body is doing the right thing for him I was also informed I’m high risk for pre eclampsia I’m on a low dose of aspirin until 36 weeks every appointment they don’t test my urine for protein to check and I go into labour n delivery with concerns and symptoms of pre eclampsia they shut me down tell me it’s acid reflux and send me home every time… has anyone’s antenatal care experience been similar?? I feel so not reassured and under cared for? I’m worried about little man’s growth.

Sex!

Me and my husband are TTC. Sometimes after sex i have noticable drippage but other times, nothing noticeable at all but he says he finished inside. Usually aswell i notice more on the first fay of sex then little to none as it goes on if we had sex multiple days in a row. Im worrying , does that mean he didnt finish ? He says he did. I was wanting to ask, do you ladies always feel drippage? Or sometimes not? Im getting stressed out about it and a little disheartened x thanks so much

Hospital and home visits

How do you feel about hospital and home visits after the baby is born?
My in laws want to go to the hospital but I want to set boundaries and have time to ourselves to allow us to settle in.
