Sick and tired 😮‍💨

I can’t even remember what it feels like to feel ‘normal’ anymore. On the one hand I feel like my sickness isn’t ‘too bad’ but I just feel so lowkey crappy and like staying in bed all day. I’ve been off work sick for two days and have no energy to do anything. Stomach feels uncomfortable and starving all the time. Honestly can’t work out if it’s all in my head at this stage 😅 can anyone relate/got any words of wisdom or tough love for me?!

This is exactly how I feel. I actually called the GP this morning to ask for some medication. I’ve never taken anything before but I have a 1 and 3 yo and struggling to stay awake and look after them! 🥵

I feel like every day, I have a raging hangover that I can't shift..

You are not alone Ruth! I’ve had two weeks off work on sick leave due to my nausea and have started medication which is certainly dulling the severity of nausea I did have, stomach still feeling empty and constantly need to eat/ graze otherwise feel yuck! I too have a 3 yo but thankfully he’s at nursery during the week which has eased the burden, wish me luck for hosting him a bday party tomo! Better days are coming for us all, and we are nearly out of first trimester!

Movement

Anyone experiencing really irregular/“unpatterned” movements? I am 23+5. Last week baby seemed so active everyday moving and thumping inside. The last couple of days the movement has seemed less - especially through the daytime - and also feels less intense (maybe just moved position or cushioned against something?). I have posterior placenta. Hard not to overthink/panic so wanted to know if anyone else experiencing the same! X

Breech baby

Hello all I’m 36 weeks and have been told I have a breech baby. Has anyone managed to successfully get theirs turned around?
I have quite bad reflux too so hanging upside down is not ideal.
Any tips or experiences are welcomed thank you xx

My daughter

My baby girl has been congested and now I noticed a little sleep in her eyes I am taking her to the doctor this morning so that they can look but it is just one eye 😢 it’s the eye that looks like it’s wet but it’s not

Father’s day

it’s my boyfriend’s first father’s day (our sons 6 weeks old) coming up and i genuinely do not know what to get him. he likes sports and work🤣He doesn’t usually like father day as his own father’s absent however with him now having his own son i want to make it as special as possible for him.
does anyone have any ideas of gifts/ things to do on the day?
thank you thank you 🙈🤍

Inductions

Hey I’m hoping to hear positive induction stories, theres so much negativity surrounding the hormone drip and I’m now absolutely shitting myself to get induced tomorrow. If anyones had an unmedicated induction and spontaneous delivery I’d love to hear the differences in pain levels as well, i went unmedicated with my son and whilst it was shit it was definitely manageable but im not sure if i should mentally prepare myself for an epidural this time around. My waters are already bulging apparently so I’ll be going straight to that and won’t need the balloon or propess x

Baby has gone from being head down to breech 🤔

Never had this with my last one. I had a growth scan 4 weeks ago and he’s been head down for the last few scans.

Today they’ve told me he’s breech all of a sudden. Is this normal? 😩
