30 weeks pregnant - bladder!!! 🫠

Omg I have the worst pressure on my bladder, it’s not sure it’s just a feeling like I constantly need to go to the toilet. Is this normal?

I have such bad health anxiety and fear the worst. 😭 be kind.

it could easily just be baby’s position (i’ve suddenly started feeling her going after my bladder more 😭) but won’t hurt to get a urine test done just because utis are more common in pregnancy but they’re easily treated with antibiotics that are safe during pregnancy

Baby is probably on your bladder. A few times my babies would rest against my bladder and I’d spend a day or two needing to pee every 20 mins till they moved.

Baby is more than likely sat on your bladder. My daughter was head down the whole time and I also had this pain/pressure

Have you tried Forward Inversions as they really help to create space in the pelvis and realign baby - there’s some great videos and tips online for them xx

Third baby?????

Debating if I want that third child lol. I already got my boy, and my girl that was born last September. I’ve always wanted more kids but once baby number 2 came, definitely changed my perspective on everything 😂 I’ll be 35 this year and if we do decide on having one more, definitely want to try before 40. Anyone else? Any mamas wanna share their thoughts on this :) no judgement here !

Diabetes test

Has anyone had the gestational diabetes test? I’ve been referred for one as both my parents have diabetes.

Just wondering about other people’s experiences and what to expect if people are happy to share 🫶🏼

Soft spot anxiety

I’ve suffered with 6 years of infertility, 3 miscarriages and finally got pregnant via IVF and had our beautiful boy in April, I’ve always been an anxious person but my the anxiety that comes with being a mum is enormous!

Anyone I’ve been rubbing his head dry with a towel after his bath to dry his hair, and all of a sudden yesterday I just became so unenviable anxious about his soft spot and the fact I could of hurt him or caused some damage, my husband has tried to reassure me but my anxiety is absolutely eating me apart thinking the worst 😭😭
