End of pregnancy 🙂

I’m ready to give up…I am in so much pain today. The right side of my body ( lower half ) is so weak. I’m trying to hold on but whew..

Anyone else in pain, tired, and ready for baby to come? I’m 35+3 🥲

So sorry you’re going through so much agony. Pain for me has come and gone. Especially pelvic pain… baby feels really, really low. I tried some easy positions that helped the baby reposition himself and it took all the pressure away. I found the positions on YouTube - called Miles Circuit. I just did the first two positions (30 minutes each) and it helped immensely. That and sitting in my yoga ball.

I feel the same way and I'm 35+2.

The end is so tough! you’re getting so close though! Have you tried any internal hip rotation stretches? I’m also 35wks and they’ve made such a difference for me, especially before bed. There’s one in particular that I particularly love, it’s like doing child’s pose, except you bring your knees closer together and put your feet out wider, this feels like it really helps open my hips.

Pregnancy Annoucement 💗

I finally announced my pregnancy on social media yesterday! ‘A New Chapter’ was the theme because I’m a big reader 🙈 a little cringe but ohhhh well 🤣

Did anyone else find announcing kind of nerve wracking?! As if I’m not about to be 30 and am totally allowed to have a family 🤣

Post partum weight gain 😭

I’m really struggling at the minute with accepting my body. I’m 9 months post partum.

Pre pregnancy I was a size 14-16 (I have PCOS and always struggled with my weight but I was feeling ok about myself pre pregnancy) I then lost a lot more weight in my first and second trimester due to HG and was the smallest I’d been in years whilst pregnant which felt amazing actually.

In my third trimester I put the weight back on and then some, as I could eat more food, I’m now a size 20 😭.

I’ve continued to put weight on post birth as I had a huge haemorrhage and post partum pre eclampsia which has taken many many months to recover from. I definitely found comfort in eating after the sickness left, and I was obviously sitting around a lot too with baby and not exercising much.

It’s caught up with me. In all honestly I hate myself, I feel disgusted with myself I can’t even look in the mirror.

I’ve been trying to eat better (hit and miss), I’m hitting the gym consistently, started personal training. I’m so much stronger and feel more toned but the weight won’t really shift. I’m still wearing size 20 jeans and have such huge hips.

I’m actually considering a weight loss jab or something similar, but I’m terrified of side effects which I’ve witnessed in family members like kidney problems, and I can’t afford to have any further health issues. I’ve only just felt better after my major haemorrhage 9 months post partum.

I know this probably isn’t a unique experience, and if it were a friend or family member I’d tell them to be kind and patient with themselves and say this body grew a perfect baby.

But I don’t know what to do anymore, I need change I want to feel myself again.

If anybody has any advice, shared experiences, anything that’s helped, I’d be so so grateful…

First outing with a newborn

When did you leave the house for the first time and what did you do? I understand no crowded places but I don’t want to go crazy being inside 24/7. Can I go sit on a patio at a restaurant with my baby? When did you go to your first indoor restaurant? Or first trip to the grocery store? I feel like I’m being too cautious… or maybe not cautious enough? My baby is healthy, to term and has had no issues. Do I really need to wait 6-8 weeks?

I’ve recently come across the ‘nub’ theory and would be interested to see if people think girl/boy?💙🩷

I’ve got my gender scan in a couple of weeks so would be interesting to see how accurate this is🥹🤍
