How we all feeling?!

How are all you lovely July mamas doing? I’m currently 29 +5, went to my midwife appointment today measuring 36. I thought I felt massive and everyone at work has been saying can’t belong to go now. I keep saying well it’s still 10 weeks 😂 I knew baby was gonna be big my others have been but still feeling heavy!! How are you all doing

Oh myyy measuring that big?! Week congratulations first of all!! And I’m currently 31+3 but baby is measuring 33+2 I’m so exhausted lol my belly is still small though but I have less than 5wks left until my c section at 36wks I’m nervousss

Hi I feel all heavy and sore too😭 at 28 weeks I was measuring 33, baby is growing way above 97th percentile line and I FEEL IT! We also just moved as well. I love our new house to bits but it's soooo much work and I just want to sleep all day! Have two little ones too😵‍💫

Part of the heavy and sore crew here too! 28+5 and completely drained from heavily depleted iron stores. The finish line feels so far away x

32+1 and also feeling huuuge. Baby is also measuring big. Pelvic girdle pain combined with very demanding toddler is not great. Counting down the weeks until maternity leave and (hopefully!) will get some energy back by not being at work. X

Early pregnancy

I’m 7 weeks today, so still super early in my journey but I no longer have any nausea. Only tiredness, and the occasional cramps (no spotting) I’ve definitely got first trimester anxiety 😟 I’ve got an early scan next Saturday and I’m just wondering how others coped with first trimester worries 🫶🏼

Speculum test

Has anyone had a speculum test done? If so, how was your experience with it? I feel like it’s irritated my pelvic floor as I’m constantly needing to pee

Itching 1st trimester

Has anyone else had intense itching in the 1st trimester and found anything that helps?
I’ve spoken to my midwife and it’s not anything to worry about, just hormonal changes but it’s driving me mental and stopping me from sleeping. Things I’m currently trying/tried:
Oral antihistamines - loratidine and cetirizine
Emollients - aveeno
Changing to sensitive body wash and laundry powder (non-bio)
Aloe Vera gel (works briefly)
Oat bath (seemed to make things worse)
Steroid cream to the most intense areas

Any suggestions very welcome!!
