Bump drop

Probably a really stupid question but will I be able to tell when my bump has dropped?

Coffee while pregnant

I’m about 12 weeks pregnant rn. I’ve had some pretty bad nausea and fatigue since about 4-5 weeks along. I’ve noticed there are a number of days where coffee actually helps my nausea. I know we are supposed to limit how much caffeine we have daily and I stick to those limits but I was curious if anyone else noticed coffee helped their nausea too? Or possibly knew why?

Small baby

I had my 31 week scan today and was told that my baby is on a small side. I didn't worry about that at all tbh as my husband was born small too so maybe runs in a family. I also had all tests for any genetical issues but all were negative.
Maternity Unit was really good they checked baby's heartbeat and set another scan in two weeks time.
I felt reassured, but now I started doing some research and reading (I know, not the most clever thing to do) and I'm now worried.
Should I worry? Or is it still early?
He has been moving a lot today and oh I get the most awful Braxton Hicks fairly few times a day .. ...

my little man is 2 months!!

my baby boy has hit 2 months and it makes me soo emotional just thinking about how fast the time is passing by. he’s such a happy, smiley boy… and while his reflux and weight gain issues have been a struggle, he’s still growing big and strong, even if it’s at a slower pace. mommy loves you, callan! one day, you’ll move mountains. i just know it. 🩵

Reassurance Please 😣

I am booked in for an elective c section on Friday this week. This is my first baby and I chose it due to anxiety reasons related to vaginal birth. As it is coming closer to the time I am finding it really hard to sleep, I am half excited and half terrified! Although I know this was the better choice for me in the long run, I cant help myself but worry still.

Just hoping for some last min reassurance that I am going to be okay - please share your stories.

Who’s still working? - exhausted 😩

I’m 35+5 today and honestly just so over working. Have to stick it out for 3 more weeks because of needing to maximise leave the other side for childcare reasons. I am now able to work from home till my leave starts but I just have zero motivation and hate having to wake up to log on to a laptop every day. Tired and uncomfortable and just want to be on my own agenda 😴😪 wondering who else is still plodding along and sticking it out at work?

HELP! C-section and postpartum preeclampsia

Hello ladies! I will be 10 months post partum June 5th.
I had an emergency c section due to the baby being stressed. (I had Covid and was extremely dehydrated.
I just found out I’m pregnant again. Has anyone had or is going through a similar experience? I’m very scared to develop preeclampsia or postpartum preeclampsia again, I’m hoping I can do VBAC but idk how likely that will be since I am less than a year postpartum. I will be going to my first appointment this week but I would like to hear other’s experience with this.
