When in doubt, call triage. You can explain things over the phone to a midwife and if they are concerned or you are then they can run the tests to definitely rule out pre eclampsia etc.

Often bp is not the first indicator so its always better to get checked and have a word with triage for peace of mind ❤️

Baby is also moving more than normal

I have anterior placenta and noticed that my baby moved more than normal around 36 weeks but again ring triage ,its always better to talk to them and get things sorted without delay xx

Feel so unwell and low

I am only about 8 weeks and I feel absolutely awful. Physically and mentally. I’m going to be a single mum which is scary but the way I’m feeling, It’s making me not want to continue if this is what the next 7 months is going to be like. Feel constantly sick, exhausted and depressed.
Is this normal?
Any positives would be appreciated right now. Everything is looking so bleak.

Which do you think?

Have babies back to back! You’re in the trenches already may as well get it all done at once
Get back to “normal-ish” before having another (stop BFing, SLEEP, get back to working etc and then start again)

I hope this makes sense haha

Just for fun 😊
