First Trimester trenches

I am currently 6 weeks and 3 days. Has anyone hit the trenches yet? I literally hit 6 weeks and have been in bed ever since. Trying to understand how I am meant to work and function for the next few weeks/months 😂

Hospital stay!

I’m currently in labor and delivery due to high blood pressure at 30 weeks with twins! My doctor said that the concern is only me and the babies are both doing alright but I’m now classified as severe preeclampsia. I’m staying until I deliver which could be 2 days from now or 2 weeks from now. However long they can prolong it. This is my first pregnancy and I’m definitely terrified of how it will go and I’m scared of the pain and anxiety, plus not knowing when things will happen since it feels they’ve emphasized that things can happen quickly and things can change in a second for my situation to be rushed. Any advice on how to handle this? I believe that one baby (baby A) is head down, the other is breech at the moment, so I’m hoping for a vag birth but I obviously that a c section might be needed. I was going to start labor prepping this week but since I’m admitted I had no time to prep physically or mentally and it’s bothering Me lol. I feel like my body already somewhat failed by being in this position right now so Just looking for advice or words of encouragement

Baby low down

Is anyone else feeling totally paranoid about where baby is. This is my 2nd and I can literally feel her head down below and scared because this only happened with my first before she popped out. I feel like I'm going to be sat at home on my own and boom she's arriving and I'm birthing in my living room

Anyone getting Brixton hicks already?

I had them quite frequently in my 3rd trimester, in my first pregnancy and this pregnancy, they started at 20 weeks. I'm not concerned.. Just didn't realise they started this early

Need advice please

Hi ladies, I am a second time mum and my due date is today. They wanted to induce me today which I said no to and also turned down a sweep. I feel like your body and baby will know when it’s ready and I don’t want to force anything.

However they keep saying babies stomach is consistently measuring over 92nd percentile and are worried about shoulder dystocia during a natural delivery which would then likely be a medical emergency. They have ruled out diabetes but want to keep monitoring me for preeclampsia. ( I don’t have it but they are worried I might end up with it soon).

I gave birth naturally with my first although at 3cm dilated they still put me on a hormone drip and was so painful I am reluctant to have any intervention this time.

However of course if my baby and my health is at risk then I will need either a planned cesarean or induction.

Just interested for opinions or if anyone else has been through this? I have a midwife appointment in two days where I feel I might agree to a sweep only at least and see how I go.

Glucose test tomorrow 😩😩
