Colostrum??

When did you all start collecting colostrum? I’m 33 weeks and I don’t even know where to start with that lol.

Anyone else can’t breathe at all, what the heck do you do?!

No matter what I do- sit up, lean back, lay elevated, stand, stretch, walk, it doesn’t matter, I CANT BREATHE. It’s driving me insane taking these shallow breaths, not being able to fully yawn, it’s like my body is gasping for air! I almost feel claustrophobic like I’m suffocating or something. What do you do?! I genuinely have never had this with my other 2 babies (or maybe I did at the very end) but I’m only 26.5 weeks right now, this shouldn’t be happening yet 😭 my bump isn’t even that big or high!!

Metformin

I took my first dose of Metformin last night and so far all my readings have been high - I had a small cooked breakfast and went for a good 30 minute walk afterwards and my reading was 6.8 after 2 hours …my after food readings have very rarely been an issue unless I eat a whole bunch of chocolate is this common with taking Metformin initially ?

SPD 😵‍💫🥴😵‍💫🥴

Struggling so bad. My pelvic bones and tailbone and spine feel like they got ran over by a truck. I had SPD with my first but I didn’t have any symptoms until the last maybe two or month before my due date. I’m only 26 weeks 😭 and can hardly walk the last couple days. Doing a belly band and heat. Anyone else in the same boat?? I’m so sad. It’s gonna be a very long third trimester lol

Slowly losing my sanity 🤪

I just got a notification in my hospital app that my blood work is back which means the gender of this baby is literally in my hands BUT... My husband is on a work trip and won't be back until NEXT TUESDAY 😫😫 I promised him I wouldn't open the results without him but I fear I'll go insane if I have to wait another week when I know the results are RIGHT THERE 🫠
