I thought it was supposed to be easier to breath towards the end of your pregnancy?

I’m 36 weeks and I’m STILL DYING TO BREATH :/

Pregnant at 5 month pp

Hello,

I have recently found out I’m unexpectedly pregnant and feel stressed! Has anyone been in this situation or have any words of advice of having such a small gap? Thanks x

Also currently on mat leave so will probably only go back for a few weeks if that 😭

Grandparents can be so rude sometimes!!

Went round my nans today (she's 88) to see her with my sons (6yr old and 3 month old) for dinner. Now baring in mind I see her quite often as she lives close by, I couldn't get over how rude she was. I was wearing one of my maternity dresses that looks like a normal dress but has a bit of stretch to it. First thing she says to me when she sees me... " are you pregnant again?" My aunt, who was sat in the lounge told her not to be so rude, I turned round and went NO I'm not, so she then goes to my aunt well look at her stomach. It looks big like she's pregnant.

It ruined what was being a really good day cuz thanks nan for 1) being so bloody rude, 2) making me feel self conscious in what I was wearing :( I'm aware I'm not as toned as I was pre-pregnancy and have probably put on a teeny bit of weight but there was still no need to make a comment like that.

Crazy question

I don’t know if it’s just me or what…? Before I got pregnant I had a really good immune system barely got sick and never had to go the doctors. It just seems like after I had my daughter I’ve had two doctor’s appointments because I was sick. I know my hormones are still crazy, I’m 11 months postpartum.

Body preparing or early labour?

I’m currently 35 weeks with my third baby. At my midwife appointment last week I was told baby’s heads engaged and she’d be surprised if I make it to my next appointment on the 13th. I felt fine at this appointment and didn’t realise baby was engaged. I’m absolutely terrified now and maybe overthinking every little twinge.

For the past few days I have felt increased cervical pressure and lightenings. I’ve been losing little bit of mucus from about 32 weeks. My bump has dropped significantly and I’m absolutely exhausted, to the point I’m waking up from a nap and ready for another. I’ve also been having a lot more braxton hicks, off and on period like cramps and lower back pain. There hasn’t been any tightening when I’ve been having my cramps.

Am I just over thinking it all and getting myself stressed for no reason? I can’t remember the build up to labour with my other children

Body preparing

I’m 32 weeks. Baby has started to drop and get in position, mucus plug is coming away, Braxton hicks and increase in back pain. This is baby number 2 and definitely feels like my body is getting ready. Now the long wait to see if I’ve still got the full two months to go 😂 if anything, these signs are just telling me to get the house and bags ready because there’s only so long it can be put off 😂
