Pillow for babies

Hi mums

What do you all think of pillows for babies ?
My mum and SIL are talking about babies pillows , there are these pillows with a hole in the middle for the babies .
The argument is that the baby need it to form his head in a nice shape.
My baby is a c section Sophia head looks good.
I have tried the pillow few times and in my opinion the any dos not look comfortable with it. He does not fuss about it either.

37weeks 4 days - feeling unwell

Start of the week I had traces of protein in my urine & had 2 lots of bloods for preeclampsia, but today I’ve woken and I feel so wiped out. I have such a headache again it’s like the rooms spinning when I close my eyes, nausea, my belly hurts like poo cramping but I don’t need to go.

I’m fed up of going up there as they say just to rest which I’m doing but I feel so shit. My c section isn’t until the 16th but I feel so wiped. Apparently there’s no room to fit it next week so I have to try wait till then. I’m 3/5 engaged so hoping baby comes sooner but I know it might take a while. My first came at 39weeks so hoping this one comes early too.

How many onz is our babies taking?

For reference my little boy will be 5 weeks on Sunday he’s taking 4 onz but definitely seems like he could take 5 not sure if it’s to much🫣

I couldn’t fit in a table booth today 😃🫩

LMFAO I’m 35 weeks pregnant

Anyone else dealing with negativity from friends? And symptoms that seemed to have gotten slightly better that your worried if everything is still ok?

Apologies first of all for the long post! First pregnancy currently 8w 4d.
33 years old

I told some friends about my pregnancy and some close colleague’s who I know will support me and look after me at work if I have a day I feel rough etc . I told my colleagues that I have been extremely bloated by the end of the day and after dinner and two of them (in their late 40’s and mid 50’s) both came back with lots of negative comments saying “I shouldn’t be bloated this early on”, “most people wouldn’t even know they were pregnant this early” “with both of my pregnancy’s I was never bloated in the first trimester and definitely not with a first pregnancy as your body doesn’t know what it’s doing”
I felt a bit upset and a bit on the defence as both of their last pregnancy’s were 14 and 15 years ago and I felt like they were telling me how to feel and how to not feel and what I was experiencing wasn’t normal?

I’ve got my first midwife appointment early next week that I am nervously excited for! I’ve been having nausea late at night or waking me up early hours every other night but haven’t actually been sick.
Couldn’t bare the smell of salmon that I was about to cook the other night and had me gagging for half an hour, my partner had to get rid of it in the end. The first 4-7 weeks I had very sore breasts and enlarged nipples until the last week they don’t feel as heavy/painful.
Have been very tired and bloated by the end of the day and having a nap after work.
Isit normal to have symptom changes around 8weeks? I’m so worried that I’ve now told a few people, my symptoms have changed and what if something has gone wrong? 😔

Also had a scan at 6w & 2d by a gynaecologist just to confirm all was ok and dr said she could see the heart beating 💕

Congrats to all future Mumma’s can’t wait to hear all your story’s 🥰

Body hair

Does anyone else suffer with extra body hair from being pregnant. I’m 15 weeks and notice I’m getting dark hair on my face and back which grows back quite quickly after removing it. I find it a bit embarrassing so I wonder if there were any tips on removing it ?
