Pregnancy Pillows

Has anyone got a pregnancy pillow yet? If so, what one would you recommend??

I have the adjustable pillow/cushion for bump and back as well as the L shaped long pillow.
Neither of them i find comfortable 😞 but I am trying to persevere and use the cushion one as much as possible to keep me on my side instead of my back...

I had a Bella Moon pregnancy pillow in my first pregnancy which I hated, never managed to get comfy with it but persevered out of stubbornness because I’d spent the money on it 🤣 in my second pregnancy I found it easier to just use multiple normal pillows, stuffed around me haha. They were more adjustable which I found helpful in getting comfy, so could have one under bump, one between my knees and one behind me to stop me rolling!

I have the bbhugme - it is expensive but I really like it and can’t imagine being without it now. Having said that, I don’t have anything else to compare it to!

I have just ordered the Snüz pregnancy pillows as it has the knee support with it and it’s meant to help with sciatica pain… it is pricey (£85) let’s hope I like it when it comes xx

Not as excited about second baby?

This is my second baby - my first is 17 months and so a complete whirlwind at the moment. He’s still a terrible sleeper and can be a handful but 90% lovely 😅

With my first we tried for years and from the moment we found out we were giddy with excitement. With the second we fell pregnant first try and I’m not feeling as excited… I’m 17 weeks.

I don’t know if it’s because I don’t have time to be excited as such as all my thoughts are with the toddler, or if it’s because I’m exhausted from the lack of sleep, or if the excitement will simply come especially when I start to get a bump etc. If I look to the future and think about the bond my children will hopefully have and the family trips etc then I’m excited, but I’m just not feeling excited right now to have a newborn added to the already exhausted state (we thought we would have to try for years again to conceive - not get lucky first time, hence why we started trying now)

Anybody else feel like this if on their second or more pregnancy?!

2nd pregnancy.. Not nesting, not ready

Busy taking care of a toddler. Mainly focused on setting up childcare for when the new baby turns 1 year old. We don’t have a name picked out, no nursery, no car seat bought. Just feeling more relaxed this time, not sure if that’s good or bad haha

Anyone pregnant with number 2 and showing?

I’m pregnant with my second baby and it’s insane how much of a bump I already have compared to my first pregnancy. Will be 13 weeks tomorrow and I’m curious if anyone else has had the same?

Glucose test

Hi mamas! 💕 I had my 1-hour glucose test today, and my result came back over 200 😭 I’m honestly a little worried. Has anyone else had a result this high? Were you diagnosed with gestational diabetes right away, or did your doctor have you do the 3-hour test? I’d love to hear your experiences! ❤️

High blood pressure

I'm currently omw to L&D at the hospital due to hypertension. It's been a steady 150/100 and if I do anything it climbs. I'm so scared because my BP has never been that high, it's actually typically lower end. I don't have any other symptoms. Can someone tell me their experience and what the treatment was?
