Third Trimester Acne

Hii ! so I’m currently 32 weeks pregnant, and my acne has gotten the worse it’s been since middle school. 😂 Has anyone noticed this to be true for them, and what have you been using or doing to keep it at bay? I eat pretty healthy, and limit my sugar intake. My baby shower is coming up in 2 weeks and I feel so insecure about it. 😭 #help

episiotomy question, anyone who’s had one please?

Ladies who have had a episiotomy how long till you have sex after birth I’m guessing safest option is defo 6 weeks like the usual ? And when did you first shave? Cos it’s killing me not doing both 🤣🤣😭but I don’t want to risk anything so prob best to wait right?

Just fallen pregnant and struggling with the guilt of taking time away from my little girl. She’d be 23/24 months by the time they are born. Can anyone relate or share their experiences?😊

Is anyone else struggling with start of 2nd trimester anxiety?

It's like it came on out the blue and I juat cannot calm it. I feel so unprepared and worried, and just cannot switch my brain off.

My partner isn't the most supportive, but I do have a great network in a couple of friends and my mum.

It's hard having gone from really enjoying being pregnant and looking forward to everything, to what all of a sudden feels like fear and worry.

Any coping mechanism recommendations are more than welcome 🙏

Complete placenta previa

Hi , im currently 25w1d . Ive had 2 natural births prior from this pregnancy. I was told after getting my second anatomy scan , that i have complete placenta previa and i would have to do a planned c section around 36 weeks. All ive been doing is research and im not so sure it’s the best idea. Im terrified . For the surgery/recovery. Etc. i just really wanted to know if anyone had any advice on the preparation and process . And what i should really look into as this being my first c section.
