Bikini or no

I go on holiday next month. Feeling insecure and self conscious..
My postpartum body is different than before, I’ve gained a little weight and have lots of stretch marks on my tummy from pregnancy.

Can I still wear a bikini on vacay or is it one piece only now?! Will people judge?

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!!

Overall Patience in Third trimester

Is it just me or I just get annoyed faster than ever before in this last few weeks? I work for a call center and I just don’t have any patience at all. Like everything is annoying. From the way people talk, act , and honestly just working in general annoys me.

Chronic Hypertension

Is this anyone else’s second (of first tbh) pregnancy and they have high blood pressure?

I had nothing with my first pregnancy up until after birth but it was put down to stress, I had an emergency c section and it was just a horrid experience overall. Since my 8 week booking appointment I’ve had ongoing high blood pressure and now having to use a 24hr BP machine to monitor.

I have a consultation appointment Thursday but have no clue how it affects the pregnancy, birth, everything!🥴🥲

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 ?
