Please tell me this is normal

I’m at 38 weeks now, I am begging to have this baby. The more the days goes on I hate being pregnant more and more. Part of it is excitement to meet my baby but the rest is literally I’m just tired of being pregnant. It’s making me so unhappy, please tell me I’m not alone.

Early pregnancy bump

I am nearly 6 weeks pregnant with my second child and my stomach is so big when I was pregnant with my first I didn’t have a stomach or a bump until I was six months pregnant and now this was my stomach today and I’ve only ate once today I do have a cyst on my right ovary and I don’t know if maybe that’s causing this or if it’s something else or if it’s completely normal

Struggling to walk/stand - 4 days post c-section

So I had my c-section on Tuesday this week. Obviously have the occasional pain if I accidentally get up too quick or twist/move wrong, which I expect. However I did also expect to be able to walk and/or stand for longer than 5 mins by now without getting an awful burning sensation coming from my scar…It gradually gets worse the longer I walk or stand and then have to sit back down to relieve the pain. I’m on the recommended painkillers and have been keeping up with taking them as and when I should.

Is this normal? I sometimes have to remind myself that I’m recovering from major abdominal surgery but I’ve seen so many people’s experiences where they’re able to go to the shops etc after only a few days, so I think I’ve given myself false promises!
I know I shouldn’t compare my experience with others but it just feels so defeating when I thought I would be able to at least go for a small walk or do more than just go to the toilet and back 🥲

Baby girl 'mini period'

Has anyone else's baby girl had a mini period in the first weeks of life?

I heard of it beforehand but now my little girl has been getting small amounts of blood in her nappy and its a little scary to see although I'm told it's totally normal? 🥲

20 week scan date

I saw a tiktok about the 20 week scan needing to be done by 20+6 which i never thought of, mine will now be when I'm 21 weeks as my due date got moved up by a few days. I've never heard of this before and wondering if this will be an issue - I will obviously contact the midwives to double check but I never knew it was that strict

Does anyone else have fatigue kicking in again? All I want to do is sleep. I’m almost into 3rd trimester too. I also get 8 ish hours of sleep and still want to sleep
